True. After the Gulf war, America did not invade Iraq because they hoped for a rebellion to overthrow Saddam (America did not want to go against the UN resolution which was to liberate Kuwait and nothing more). The Kurds and the Shiites attempted but were quickly squashed. In a military aspect, Saddam is nothing to be fucked with. He commands well and knows the major aspects of leadership. He has toyed with the greatest military power the Earth has ever seen. It will not be an easy victory.

BS. Saddam knows virtually nothing about command or leadership when it comes to war. His troops are poorly led, poorly trained, and technologically outmatched and that is an understatement. Even if the Iraqi military wanted to stand and fight (which the bulk of them will not) they do not have the capability to fight for the reasons named above.
