Is waiting 12 years jumping the gun?
What I don't understand is why the 12 year wait. Surely Saddam kicking the weapons inspectors out of Iraq some years ago was grounds enough.
I know things have changed since S11 but what really has changed with Iraq, and whats this running out of time stuff I don't get that.
As for Iraqs military capabilities, read this -

there really not much of a threat to anyone.
Anyway I wish they would hurry up and get the thing started. I've checked the tv guide for the next month and there is bugger all on the telly, and I do like a good war story.
When it kicks off I'll invite the guys up and we can crack open a couple of slabs of long necks and order in a few pizzas. It'll be just like the footy final really.
Then I can get some pools going at work like, estimate how many civilians will die or guess the time and date or the first US casulity, or estimate how long it will take before they get Saddam. I'll take a stab at the last one. I'de say about a month. 2 weeks to flatten Baghdad (it is a rather large city) and 2 weeks of sorting through the rubble before they find the enterance to Saddams bunker.
Actually I have some hollidays coming up soon, I wonder if Bush wouldn't mind holding off for a month until I can take them. Then I can watch it all day, wouldn't want to miss any good bits.
