"A Short War"

A blast from the past.
Part of the hustle towards war.

He said the U.S. military is stronger than it was during the Persian Gulf War, while Iraq's armed forces are weaker.

"Five days or five weeks or five months, but it certainly isn't going to last any longer than that," he said.

1. Well a short war followed by a very long, hot, occupation

2. The Long Occupation...
The real damage was the Bremmer IPA fiasco that followed that "short war". There went the hearts and minds and now "we are where we are". My hopes are the criminals that planned this war for profit and oversaw the plundering are called to pay for their crimes. The world court awaits.
