I am concerned that we may have underestimated the resolve of the Iraqs ( realisticly they are being forced to fight by saddams enforcers). I hope we have enough HEAVY equipment, that is the M1A1 main battle tank.
If we have to hold up outside Baghdad, while we reinforce our posistions, bringing in more troops - securing supply lines - then that is what we have to do.
But I think we have some things up our sleeves and our commanders are smart people....

Make no mistake, I have EVERY confidence in our military might -- both our personnel and our war machines, and I know we'll win -- it's what we do best. I pray every day (though that's not really the right word, since I'm an atheist LOL) that it'll happen quickly and we'll lose as few fighting men & women as humanly possible. They are nothing short of heroic, and my heart fills with pride for what they're doing; and breaks in anguish with every report I see that says one or more of them has been hurt, killed or captured. I've spent a LOT of time this past week with tears in my eyes and finding it difficult to breathe around the lump in my throat -- both in sadness and in gratitude and pride.
My suspicion and distaste for motive and action is pretty much reserved for the "suits," just like in the workaday world. :P
