It is as if the war was against Saddam’s body guards, political supporters and Islamic Terrorists... oh wait... it is. I guess the army is closer to Saddam’s body guards than defense of the country. Of the few fighting, who are not directly interested in the fate of Saddam, the rest are probably doing so on Anti-American sentiment alone.
