Saddam's Address

Before Alex comes along to warn again of massive bloodshed, the impending implosion of the Islamic world into war and Middle East in to Anarchy and violence as the result of what may be "the bloodiest war in 50 years" as he called it on Netpond... i think its right to point out that

1) he never lost the first war. he only lost it on paper. he only lost some hardware.
2) the rhetoric was the same during Desert Storm as his forces were decimated. "Victory" was always going to be theirs against "the great satan". He continued that for 12 years after Desert Storm as well... nothing new.

I think the success or failure of Saddam Hussein will depend only on Coalition resolve to remove him from power. I doubt that Iraqi resistence is going to be a factor in the Coalitions ability to take out leadership targets, military targets, destroying his regime, as well as his ability to command and lead his government and military.

What follows the regime of Saddam Hussein at the very least, will be a regime that knows that absolute destruction awaits them should they choose the same path.

A regime that knows that 40 Satellite Guided Cruise Missiles... many fired from submarines can seek them out and find them at any hour of the night, without warning... wherever they are sleeping and they cannot hide.
