Dead or alive - The cia seems confused, how about you.

If we attack Iraq every country over there most likely declare war on us. Which would then cause Israel and India to wage a full scale assault into that region and there is no telling what types of weapons would be used.

These type of comments cause me to shake my head and wonder if any Americans have any clue at all. And Demon, I mean no dig on you directly.

First off, Israel and India would never wage war on countries in the region. Israel cannot wage any war without our approval. Under the terms of the US arming and swearing to defend Israel, the Israeli government must get approval from the President and the Senate Armed Services committee to attack other nations if they are not defending themselves. Israel does not manufacture any of their military weapons. And India would never attack any nation other than Pakistan. They don’t give a shit about anything or anyone else. The predominantly Buddhist population of India want’s to live in peace and harmony with the elements.

And as far as the middle east goes, who would declare war on the US? Egypt is the largest military might in the region. Egypt is our biggest friend in the Arab world. They hate Israel but they are totally in bed with the US. Why? So if they have another war with Israel, they know we will stay out of it and not fight against Egypt.

Who else in the region can take on the US? The Saudis? We arm them and we are the largest buyer of their oil. Would they bite the hand that feeds them? No they will not. Jordan? Small military and pro west. They will not piss off the US. Turkey? Nope, they need US support. The US is the second largest contributor to their economy. Iran? Their military would be destroyed in less than a week. Pakistan? They were a threat until recently. Musharef has sealed Pakistan’s alliance with the US. The rest of the countries in that region have military’s that are smaller than the Rhode Island National Guard. Many of these nations have an Air Force that consists of 5 fighter jets.

There is no nation in that region that poses any formidable threat to the US. In fact, the only military threat the US has on the entire planet is China. China and the US both know they must never go to war against each other and more than likely never will.

We will attack Iraq. Take that to the bank. And don’t worry about our image of attacking other countries. We do it when we feel we need to. Does anyone here remember Panama? Manuel Noriega? We invaded and over through a leader of a sovereign nation. The world was outraged. Does anyone care today? Remember Granada?

Sadaam knows we will attack. Why do you think he has pulled his entire military infrastructure into populated areas? We won’t use cruise missiles in populated areas. He want’s to fight us on the ground. He knows it’s his only chance.
