		Is Andrew Greeley Really This Dumb? As revealed in his Chicago Sun-Times column today: .... The American plan was to ''decapitate'' Iraq in the first air attack, then to ''shock and awe'' them with the biggest air strike in history, then to destroy Saddam's command and control systems, then to accept the surrender of the Iraqi army and deal with those in the leadership who wanted to break away from the Baathist Party's dominance, then finally to accept the acclaim of the liberated Iraqi people. Don't look now, but none of those things has happened. Who thought they would? The chickenhawks, obviously. The United States will doubtless win the war eventually (unlike the Vietnam conflict). The question is at what price in lost influence, credibility and human lives. Lane Core Jr. CIW P — Fri. 04/04/03 07:25:31 AM Categorized as Political.
