About all the press.

About all the Iraqis can do, once they see something on the tube they want to respond to, is send someone out to re-inforce, etc. They know SOME of the places were at, but they don't know ALL the places were at. So they don't really know enough from the tube to do anything effective.

Also, if they make any response at all, they must put people on the road. Exactly what we want. We DO NOT want a house-to-house fight in a city. So we drive out into the desert, tell them we're there, and wait awhile. Blammo.

Also, the most important part of the war is the political war. How we handle that will affect how the peace, or not peace, is maintained for decades in the future. And, it will affect our domestic politics for decades as well.

The great patriotic comming together in WWII happened because for the first couple of years many thought we just might loose to Hitler and Tojo. That solidarity carried us through a lot of the cold war, until the politics of Vietnam killed much of it. The Vietnam politics has carried the left ever since, and its Geo. Bush's duty to dramatically redefine our domestic politics away from the leftists.

If he plays it right, a big if at that. Then our side will hold sway for many years. Considering the fact that our domestic politics will shape future conflicts, (or deter them) that's worth a lot.

My take on this is as follows:

The B-52s can drop ordinence on them while the sand blows, and when the sand stops the Warthogs and the Apaches take over and shoot the fish in the barrel. Meanwhile, we continue the bombardment on the RGs still ringing Bagdad. This is a great strategy and this is what Central Command is doing. Now is the time to take out Iraqi public communications, for good. Announce to the Iraqis that anything moving in the desert is dead meat. When the RGs are sufficiently weakend we march into Bagdad, tickle Tarig (sp) Aziz under the chin and ask, "Who's your Bagdaddy". I say Aziz because I think Saddamn Insane is taking the dirt nap. Any son of Saddamn should be shot while trying to resist, as should that skumbag minister of information that keeps poking his face in front of the camera (He reminds me of Chuckie Schumer).
