Wow, I guess I'm glad that your sentiment wasn't the majority in WWII. Who knows where we would have given up? Did you know that Ike was sitting on retreat orders for the guys on the beaches of northern France at about 9am that morning?
As to Iraq: We have had a national defense policy for decades of meeting strategic weapons with strategic weapons. Anthrax is a biological strategic weapon. And we have only one strategic weapon at our disposal, nuclear. If Baghdad turns out to be the source of the Anthrax from which we are suffering, there will only be one bomb. -----Original Message----- From: Howie Hamlin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, November 02, 2001 9:51 AM To: CF-Community Subject: How long? How long does it take a Superpower to bomb a third-world country into submission? We've been bombing Afghanistan since Oct 7 - I would have thought it would be over by now. Here it is, November 2, and we don't seem any closer to an end. What concerns me is that there are some who think that Iraq may have been involved and may be the target of the next campaign. Iraq has a much better military than Afghanistan so how long would that one take? And, a campaign against Iraq would be completely different that the Gulf war because we wouldn't stop short of going into Baghdad this time. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
