The Kurds - the "natural" enemies of the people in the South? No, not good enough. I mean Al Jazeeara showing pictures of Egyptians, Jordanians, Syrians, Saudi and Turkish soldiers fighting with the Coalition under a UN flag.Originally posted by: charrison

Evidently NOT good enough FOR THE IRAQI PEOPLE to rise up against Saddam which is what the Coalition HOPED. They need to see ARAB SOLDIERS from MUSLIM nations FIGHTING Saddam's forces. They WILL believe then - not now.Originally posted by: charrison

"Bungled" in that we don't have the UN forces including Muslim nations fighting at our side.
That's all . . . I am NOT talking about the changing strategy. . . . . Our military - unfettered by politics - is the Very Best (in history).
Running the entire operation of Qatar is not good enough? Launching the main attack from Kuwait? Flying sorties out of Saudi? Yeah there are no muslim nations involved.
Do you really think anyone inside of iraq has the real story of what is happening?
What about the arab(kurds) force in the north? They are working with us as well. I guess once again, that is not good enough.
Part of my "incursion" into Baghdad - besides getting Proof of WMD - would be to CONTROL the Iraq TV - broadcast on their airwaves so that the average Iraqi sees OUR irrefutable proof that Saddam has WMD.
I'm pretty sure they remember when he GASSED them...... I'm sure they are pleased to hear you are so concerned with them being fully aware though.
