General Anthony Zinni, a former head of the US Central Command, says: "I wouldn't get sucked into the cities. There would be a lot of casualties on our side, we'd kill a lot of civilians and destroy a lot of infrastructure, and the images on Al Jazeera [television] wouldn't help us at all."
One of the cockier supporters of great US expectations is a retired army general, Barry McCaffrey, who was in charge of the 24th Mechanised Division in the 1991 war. He predicts: "If we decide to employ force, in 21 days it'll be all over. They're not going to believe what we do to them." http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/02/21/1045638489015.html ... "Cockier?" Cock-sucking fascist traitor, I'd say McCaffrey is, just from what he did to the US, never mind his war crimes. But he's too much a DC insider to have any relatives who'll be drooling and defecating bigeyed in their rubber suits.. Though perhaps he might be close enough to a neutron surprise when the swamp is sterilized... --- How do you say "Blame it on NIMA" in Mandarin?
