"Here we go"

Rumsfeld promises "the coming military action will be unlike anything seen before"

And reports are coming in that oil wells have been set on fire in Southern Iraq.
Better hurry "our boys", else you'll have nothing left in a bit.

Iraq needs the oil, burning it just seems stupid.
Fair enough people say that the US just wants the oil but I doubt that very much, In an economic view it is bad for Iraq after the war.

Talk on the news saying that they are doing it to provide thick smoke across the battlefield.

Wheres Rambo when you need him?

If the americans can get through this without shooting at least one of their own, I'll eat my shorts.

"unlike anything seen before"?

In what sense exactly?
