16. I heard someone say
Edited on Sun Sep-24-06 05:46 PM by Canuckistanian
That the invasion of Iraq was the military equivalent of beating up your grandmother.

There was already a no-fly zone. An economic embargo. The UN had already destroyed Iraq's most deadly missiles.

It was probably the most watched, spied on and scrutinized country in the world by the US.

The US knew exactly what weaponry they had (including that they had NO useful WMDs), what their troop strength was and where the command posts were located.

Any major army who coudn't win against an enemy like that doesn't deserve to call itself an army.
