#1 Consider for a minute. Iraq has Iran on the east, Syria, Jordan on the west, Turkey to the north, and Saudi Arabia and Kuwait to the south.

We have, or soon will have, most of four divisions and their support equipment on the ground in Iraq.

We have another division, or at least large parts of it, on Iraq's eastern border with Afghanistan.

The situation in the Middle East is GOING to change, regardless of what France, Russia, Syria, Iran, Saudi Arabia, the Palestinians, or any other dumb B****** thinks.

I haven't been terribly pleased with George Bush, but I'm beginning to change my mind, as this war continues to unfold. We may have seriously underestimated this Ivy-League playboy.

#4 Nice thing for baby Assad is that he was trained originally as an ophthalmologist. This means that after he gets tossed, he can go out into the countryside, find a nice small town, hang up his shingle and practice medicine. Get a wife, some kids, join the local soccer club and the PTA, and drive a Mercedes. Ah, the life of a doctor :-)

#5 "flagrant infringement" of international law

here it is again. The war is illegal. The US therefore can not win. France and Russia will claim their contracts are still valid.

#6 Assad has an extreme case of presbyopia. Maybe he should borrow Sammy's glasses and read the papers.
