No, they anticipated and prepared very well, heeding the lessons of GW1. Our heavy armor charged up the open dessert through hostile territory, and now has a ~300 mile supply line heavily exposed to enemy action. This is a complete screw-up.

A screw up would entail some catastrophe. Right? NO Iraqi military unit has been able to seriously disrupt the supply line. What we see are local militias that take pop shots on our convoy which do little more than delay the line at times. Nothing is PERFECT especially in WAR, and from everything I have heard and read there are no major problems on the front line with supplies and fuel. And like I said, more reinforcements are coming in all the time to protect our supply line.

It's just the Wild West and we are cleaning up the bandits.

They have forced significant changes in force deployment and timelines. It is a major srew-up.
