Iraqi Targets?

When the attacks begin on Iraq, what will the targets be?

Bush wants to oust Hussein so how will he succeed?

Will he keep bombing until Husseins body is found or will the ground troops try and catch him?

How will this war end if Hussein is not handed over or killed by his own people or the bombings?

Will he totally destroy the whole country?

Considering that, according to CNN, he's thinking about launching 1500 bombing missions a day, I'd say he's going to have a good crack at it.

I thought I was hearing things when I heard this report myself.

Let's hope someone in Iraq will do us all a favor and 'end' it their own way--and soon.

Why not? After all, that worked so well for Osama bin Laden...

I know there is a lesson to be learned here somewhere, but I don't know what it is.

I heard that they closed down all the Wal-Marts and Kmarts in Iraq and turned them all into Targets.

Thank you! Thank you! I'll be here all week.

Very nice.

I say we look for those big red "Crosses" from the air and use that as a target. It worked so well in the war against the Taliban and in the first Iraq war. That's usually where the most brutal dictators keep the nastiest stuff anyway.
