Do you really think so? I do not. I suppose I cannot prove it so maybe I am making an educated guess....lets look at the facts as they stand.
The first time around Saddam had the 4th largest army in the world supporting him.
He had thousands of modern tanks and hundreds of modern aircraft, modern anti-aircraft weapons, dozens of scuds and anti-tank rockets and millions of mines.
He has less than a quarter of those resources this time around.
The people fighting for him will be the same people that fought for him last time, where exactly has he managed to improve the love and loyalty of his people since the early 1990's?
What has Iraq done to engender the bravery and espirit de corps of his fighting forces? What has suddenly turned this shell of a country into this juggernaut some are trying to tell us that Iraq is?
