My predictions on Iraq

I predict that despite the administration's current posturing that war with Iraq is an inevitability.

I predict that the anti-war campaign will grow strong but not be enough to stop the war.

I predict that the war will last one month but that the casualties from occupation will be more (on the American side) than during the war.

I predict a very strong air campaign initially (no-brainer).

I predict female war heros.

I predict the history's greatest case of news management by the US military.

I predict that commercial satelight photography will be noticably absent or lessened.

I predict that Saddam will become an Osama. Hidden and wanted but as time drags on his relevance will be minimized. He will be found or killed before Osama and at that point he will be broadly touted as an important kill (yeah, might as well predict that too).

I predict that the weapons of mass destruction will not be found.

I predict that war weariness will be rearing to go but never have a real chance due to the short campaign.

I predict a post war drop in Bush's popularity.

I predict that after the war in Iraq the Mid-East will still not get the attention Bush has been implying.

I predict that the death toll won't start to solidify till after the war.

I predict that the mobilization of the troops will be complete around March/April.

I predict that the US will NOT get a UN resolution.

I predict that the occupation will be uneventful. By that I mean no huge catastrophe and no "ripples" of democracy for years.

I predict an occupation or at least a year.

I predict that Powel will resign from the administration.

I predict that despite everything Bush will win the re-election.

I predict taht I will not be too happy about it.
