The answer to question 17 is incorrect.
Actually there were a number of casualties inflicted by the Iraqi
military---although some of those listed below may be the result of friendly
fire certainly not all were... there were not 0 casualties inflicted by
them.
This site also shows that Iraq's defensive capabilities must be at an
astonishing low level. Not much was left intact.
This is a contest between a superpower and a regime that is almost
defenceless. I cant understand how Hussein can appear so cool and
unflappable in the face of the forces arrayed against him. Maybe at the last
minute he will accept the offer of forced retirement. Then where will the US
be?

Ken,
Thanks for pointing out the discrepancy in the Iraqi induced
body count. I have seen it reported as 0 in several places (though I
can't cite them at the moment). CNN, in my mind, is not a clearly
reputable source, though. They often leave out salient facts, ignore
context and enthusiastically babble the spin of the day.
