#1 Such a coup would destroy any remaining US credibility and put the troops in a very uncomfortable situation. It would be difficult politically for the US to support such a coup. Without US support it would be virtually impossible for the coup to stand - in fact I suspect the result would be wide-open civil war. With the Kurds standing on the sidelines picking up whatever goodies fell on the ground.

#2 Yeah, and if you can't trust he High Council of the Islamic Revolutionaries to tell the truth, who can you trust?

#3 I think we found the problem children.

There ain't no way in hell these Iranian stooges are going to mount a coup. First step in the march to Iran.

#4 My own suspicion is that this has more to do with the Hezbos than Iraqis.

#6 So it'd be the Tater Tots who mount a 'military' coup, not the trained, professional soldiers.

Whadaya suppose the real soldiers would say about that?
