This is my first post about the whole conflict in Iraq subject. I'm kinda on the fence about his one because obviously I'm against any sort of war, but there are reasons that Saddam (and other dictators) should be removed by force. I've been watching the war coverage pretty much non-stop since the deadline passed at 1am the other morning. It's hard to avoid it - it's everywhere and affects everyone in some way. Two of my cousins are in the RAF. I don't think they're out in Iraq - they've not even been in the Air Force a year yet, but it seems that the Iraqis shouldn't be their main concern out there.
That's right, I'm talking about friendly-fire and mid-air collisions and hand grenades, etc... The amount of embarassing incidents for both the US and the UK is astonishing given the amount of time they've been in action. Nearly everyday there's been some kind of event involving soldiers getting killed outside of combat. No wonder Saddam and his ratty little henchmen are so laid-back and confident - The first American soldier to his front door will probably shoot himself in the foot! Today there was a story involving the mighty US Marines being chased away from some town they were trying to invade by a bunch of soldiers earlier dubbed "rag-tag". It's just not cricket.
And another thing I've noticed - Are George Bush and Saddam Hussein Sesame Street puppets? You never get to see their legs...

It gets worse.
Today we have 21 soldiers injured by friendly-fire caused by lack of vision caused by sand storms.
And this afternoon we get F-16s firing at their own Patriot Missile batteries! The thing that makes me laugh the most is that they missed!

Fired two*
Today, the Americans have;
Fired to Patriot missiled into a Turkish field.
Blown up a Syrian civilian bus. The irony is, not all were killed.
The Yanks can't even kill people on a defenseless bus - never mind a souped up and armoured enemy tank.

Can you say itchy trigger finger?
Anyone catch the US raising the Stars and Stripes at a port, only to be told to take it down?
"Hammer-Time"
CNN refusing to give an airtime to anti-war groups, as does Fox News
US condemning the parading of POWs, yet CNN show time and time again the footage of Iraqi troops sitting cross legged upon surrendering, these are also POWs by the way.
I said before this war that I felt it was a joke and a made-up excuse to play with new war-toys and aware multi-billion dollar contracts for rebuilding after this offensice excuse for a conflict.
And now we have an ever increasing tally of soldiers killed by the same people they are supposed to be with.

We even killed one of our own reporters... :S
D'oh!
And now the US have said they might bomb TV and Radio stations, even though they're using outlets like radio against them as a form of encouraging Iraqi's to surrender.
This war is was brought to you by the letter "Eh?".

I can just imagine Saddam sat in his underground bunker receiving the news.
Henchamn: They're invading sir, the first bombs are landing in Baghdag as we speak
Saddam: Damn their infidel hides, we cannot hope to oppose their forces.
Henchamn: Sir, the American pig-dogs have crashed one of their own helicopters!
Saddam: Excellent. Against such odds we will need all the luck Allah can provide.
Henchman: Two more choppers have fallen outside of combat sir.
Saddam: Allah is certainly with us, prepare to take the fight to the Americans!
Henchman: Sir! This is incredible. The Americans just shot one of their allies infidel aircraft out of the skies!
Saddam: Belay that order. Get all troops to sit back and wait for these hapless fools to kill eachother off.
Henchman: Aye sir!
Saddam: *laughs* None of these fatuous imbiciles will leave Iraq alive, and we won't have to fire a single bullet!
