The 101 is reported to be on station now. yes, they were needed for extra protection from the technicals, but that is what they do dummy!

The 4th was to go into turkey, but that got screwed. As it turns out, a lighter force was all that was needed. if fact, they have not needed anything up to now. We now have ability to put assets there if needed and the 4th is deploying to back up the southern cities that have cased problems while the 3rd and 101 go to Bagdad.(plus many others comming in from the southeast.

Everything is just fine! The food aid is being unloaded. The Iraqis will really appreciate this and the dummies in Basra will fold soon.

The weather is georgeous for shootin fish in a bucket! The Iraqis are out gunned to the max! We own the air and space above!

I see nothing to worry about.

First, no need for personal attacks and name calling. It's really insecure.

Bottom line, it's not all coming up roses. Way too light a force was sent up north. The eastern line of advance has been abandoned. Mobile comabat units (i.e. 101st) originally intended to be available up north are now redeployed to protect supply lines.

This was a very risky plan. Just two days ago the spin doctors were heralding this as a 'brilliant plan'. Obviously it's NOT.
