Possible Iraq Involvement

I have read a couple of articles talking about the possible involvement of Iraq in the attack. The link provided is to a Salon.com article that has some interesting stuff about differences within the Bush Administration between hawks and doves (well maybe cautious hawks.) Of course Colin Powell is one of the hands-off Iraq guys, as he was in the Gulf War. (relatively at least.) But it also has good stuff on the identity of Yousef as an Iraqi intelligence officer. Also, Bill Gertz has a good article. Here's the Gertz link- http://www.washtimes.com/national/20010921-94732490.htm. Or you can do what I do and link from Drudge.


Anyway, if Iraq is involved this war could get very interesting. We will have to attack Iraq given what we have promised, and will have to finish the job we did in the Gulf War. This time Saddam might very well use chemical and biological weapons. If he does, we might very well respond with nuclear weapons. Even if he doesn't, the use of battlefield nukes might happen, as was discussed some below. Because we will have to completely destroy the Iraqi Army and occupy its territory to actually defeat Saddam. That will take a lot, even as soundly as we defeated Iraq before. And it will be a big test of our yet-to-be-tested coalition.


Unfortunately, we are living in interesting times. Below is the Salon.com link.
