troops now in Iraq and Afghanistan for political reasons, not military, he is ignoring the actual military threats. Operation Iron Hammer is just to distract the media and the public from the fact that Saddam is in the Wadi with 50,000 troops and tens of thousand of foreigners and they can't get him without bunker busters and 3,000 dead.

The air force is powerful but never changes situations on the ground. Infantry does.

Rove has decreed No War in 2004. That only means in 2005, No Inductee Will Be Left Behind.

Yes it's just speculation, but I feel my scenario, is far more likely than your speculation that things will be OK in Afghanistan with some bombing and Saddam really doesn't have an underground city with an underground army in the Wadi, from which they are running the current turkey-shoot.

I hope you're right and I'm wrong!!!
