Ok a little speculation here. I think there is a good chance there is a major attack coming on the green zone shortly. prolly several hundred insurgents, well armed, and well planned. Like the attack on the embassy in Saigon during Tet, it will probably be beaten back by the military, but will also be a victory of epic proportions in the press for the insurgents. my question is what happens after this
Will This finally convince the American public, like Tet , that the war is unwinniable?? what will the cost be in lives?
Will they use some kind of mass distruction weapon??
My own guess is a major assault, one that lasts at least 48 hours. at some point it will be beaten back, but will make it totally clear that we have no control over even the green zone. i expect serious casualties, and possbily the use of some kind of WMD in the process of it, perhaps a chemical weapon or dirty bomb.
the real question is what will the political fallout be back home and what will the outcome be in Iraq?
your thoughts??
