Hmm I agree that there will be many unnecessary casualties, but several hundred thousand is a bit much... You'd be bombing Iraq with some serious napalm to kill that amount of people... of course, much depends on how the Iraqi are going to defend themselves...

Last time American bombs that destroyed Iraqis irrigation system (which btw, is a war crime) caused deaths of hundreds of thousands Iraqis people.

Obviously this is how they definate "freedom".

You'll see how we define freedom in a few hours when Basra is liberated...

It's Bush: "The war has begun, we are right, we wil prevail, pray for the troops, God Bless America" speech. It is standard for presidents to give it once military action begins.

Quoting from CNN: Pentagon source says cruise missiles were launched against a "target of opportunity".....

LOL yup, and it's got extra entertainment value if Bush says it...

Liberated, my ass.
Liberated from Iraqis army, who defend their own country?
You act as agressors and invaders, you can't liberate anything by definition.

We will liberate them from their dictatorship, however in the process we shall destroy them.

Just heard on ABC that someone on the official Iraqi news network said, 'finally, the day we have been waiting for has arrived', then was abruptly pulled off the air.

I heard that the radio takeover may have been part of the "psy ops" the U.S. is undertaking....too soon to tell though....

"US politics lead to war and social hardship."
