I have no idea who you are - I've never heard of you or your program. I'm not going to argue with you all night because I have better things to do. But I will comment on what you said about Saddam.
The second invasion of Iraq was a two month affair that removed Saddam from power and destroyed one of the largest armies in the world in less than two months. It took us three weeks to get to Baghdad, at which point both the military and the Iraqi government went into hiding and was never seen or heard from.
Anyone who understands military tactics knows you need a ratio of 3-1 or 4-1 to destroy an attacking force. The Iraqi military had 600k men under arms, another 1.2 million in reserves, and they were attacked by 250k and destroyed in three weeks....
That was, by far, the biggest embarrassment in military history.
