we are already seeing the begining of the end i think. its pretty much over in terms of an actual military fight. there is no leadership, no organized military response, limited ability to respond and Iraqi troops are clearly hip to the fact than an Apache, A-10 or laser guided bomb may in fact be superior to an AK-47.
the Republican Guard is done and the images i see on TV on ANY station are not exactly those of mass protests in the streets against Coalition forces.
F-15's and F-18's circling over head all day long in Bagdad and tanks all over the town as well as cool footage of Coalition soldiers hanging out in one of his palaces is a pretty good sign of where this is going.
In my opinion, no further comparison can be made at this point to Chechnya or Beirut any other urban warfare scenario since there is no organized military force to put up a fight. they cant even communicate or organize themselves without being targeted.. and their own people are turning them in.
todays briefing by the Iraqi Minister of Information should be the best yet.
