War in Iraq Seen as Quick Win
(Washington Times) - Senior Bush administration officials have concluded that the United States will quickly win a war against Iraq, based on superior American technology and a sharp deterioration of Saddam Hussein's armed forces since the 1991 Persian Gulf conflict. Officials also believe a significant number of Saddam's army commanders and units will either refuse to fight or will assist allied troops in toppling the Baghdad regime. "I am very certain that this military engagement will not be very difficult," said Sen. John McCain, a Vietnam War combat pilot.
