I hope all the news from Afghanistan is this "boring." Especially the "no casualties" part.

As for Iraq, if we decide to go in, it's going to fold up like a cheap lawn chair.

Even as I write this, there are a huge number of men in the Iraqi army who know EXACTLY what happened to their predecessors in the Gulf War. Many of them may have witnessed it. I dare say steel caterpillar tracks figure prominently in their nightmares.

I bet when Saddam says, "go!" the white flags are going to pop up like foam rubber fingers at a football game. At least for those soldiers who aren't already halfway across the Syrian border.

If we lose men it will be to something like a last-ditch gas attack, or Palestinian techniques like car bombs, booby traps, bombs strapped around POWs, that kind of thing.
