    Much better than ever changing polls and public opinion.

    What do you think? Many believe that America 'cannot loose' as they have a massively more powerful force against guys with rifles but could they get bogged down for longer than expected? Could the economy collapse? Is time on Iraq's side?

    Should be ok, I am reliably informed by some that the only reason for fighting this was is to gain control of the oil.

    As the coalition now holds the southern oil fields, the stock market will rise when the oil starts to be sold.

    yes

    Could the economy collapse

    no

    Is time on Iraq's side?

    to some extent, but not to the extent you would like.

    It took three weeks in Afghanistan for reporters to start using the word ‘quagmire’ in Iraq it took four days. Worst-case scenario would involve and extended siege around Baghdad. Saddam had some tricks up his sleeve, XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX. That being said it is obvious that the resistance was underestimated, and tactics need to be adjusted.

    going along with this theory, things must be going pretty well since the time of this post.....

    dow then: 8243

    dow now: 10346

    increase: 25.5%

    Could the economy collapse?

    doesnt look to be happening anytime soon.....ask youknow, hell let us in on when the next time "collapse" is near.....maybe sometime around october.
