How long will it take to capture Baghdad? 2 days Will Saddam be killed? Yes Total Iraqi civillian casualties: 500 dead Total military casualties Iraq: 3000 dead Total military casualties U.S.: 15 dead Will the Iraqi army regulars hold the lines? No Will the Republican Guard fight to the end? No Will chem/bio weapons be used on invading troops?: Yes Will Saddam launch attacks on the Kurds? Yes Will Saddam launch attacks on Israel? No -If yes; will Isreal retaliate harshly? Yes Will Saddam sacrifice Baghdad (gas/nuke it)? No Will the Kurds make a grab for independence? Yes Will Iran do anything silly like try for land? Yes Will Saddam burn the oil fields? Yes How long will the US be occupying Iraq? ~15 years Will the Iraq war catalyze increased terrorism in America?No In the long run, will this war be good or bad for the world? Good We have to look at what those civilian casualties are- just because they're civilian doesn't make them innocent! Lets take a look at a few possibilities: 1) A civilian walking down the street to market gets killed by a cruise missile fired at the market. 2) A civilian asleep in their house is killed when their house is targetting by a smart bomb and blown up. OK, these two are regrettable innocents being killed- but since the US doesn't make a habit of targetting markets or houses, they're very small in number! 3) A civilian working at a chemical weapon factory gets killed when the chemical weapon plant is bombed. 4) A civilian security guard at a weapons depot is killed when the weapons explode. 5) A civilian contractor repairing a tank is killed by a MOAB dropped on the unit. 6) A civilian engineer is killed when the military command center he works at is destroyed. 7) A civilian delivering snackiecakes to the baghdad bunker vending machines eats a 5,000lb bunker buster. etc, etc. The list goes on. My point is that there are a lot of civilians directly supporting the military that aren't exactly "innocent" and would be mire rightly counted among the military casualties than civilian. I'm a civilian and work for the US military, but I acknowledge I'm also a valid military target because of what I do. And I think the vast majority of civilian casualties in this campaign will not be innocent.

I also like how The Vision went from an overdesigned train cart being lowered into the ground and going at superspeed to your destination to "just a tunnel that you drive a car through" So he invented tunnels

Wasn't that supposed to be a near-frictionless vacuum-tunnel with cars moving at 700 mile per hour? Did he give up on that part and settle on a really-inefficient subway that you can crash and die in unless you're an expert professional driver?

I believe he got some sort of basic training or certification so he could make the calls on his own hellblasted goon-castle of ineptitude.

He got his PE license so he could sign off on his own home inspections because no real engineers would.

CPL593H posted:So is there any kind of ventilation or did they not consider exhaust fumes? Their FAQ states that the tunnel has excellent ventilation and that this will also prevent you from dying when the lithium battery pack on your car catches on fire. Also, the tunnel's pedestrian escape path is located in the middle the road that the cars drive on.

Nah, the plan is to dig hundreds of miles of public infrastructure tunnels that can only be used by ol' Musky. It's pretty obviously not designed to have more than one car in there at a time.
