I admit that unlike some TV pundits I never seriously considered that
Iraq's military would provide any real or sustained opposition. Check on
the monster, putting out notice, blame factor, oil, and yes to your last
point too. It's great to have such agreement!!!
We really kicked their ass, huh? And TV talking head shows are exciting
again. I saw Perle on Nightline and in minutes he threatened every
country in the Middle East (save Israel). His Mercy showed in his sober
willingness to give Saudi Arabia 'some time' (presumably to get their
sh*t together).
And here's the Syrian President falling all over himself apologizing and
wondering w.t.f. he did to make us wanna attack his country once we
finished off Iraq.
Now here's some S.A. dude doing handstands and backflips to show his
unending friendship. Dance, dance for our amusement!!!
Humiliation is the first lesson. Once they swallow their pride and
realize they rule at our pleasure, the rest is easy.
