Ah HA!! That is exactly what I've been ranting about all day. The media is concentrating WAAAAAAY too hard on making it look like we're losing this war, and we have hardly even begun.

We are NOT losing the war. And people here who question things are not saying we are. Its okay to ask WHY those Apaches had to run into a AAA gauntlet to get to those tanks. Its okay to ask why the Marines at Umm Qasr last night couldn't just ask for a bomb on target instead of hunkering down for four hours. Its okay to ask how a supply company wandered away and got captured without massive air support rushing to them immediately. Its okay to ask this stuff. Its not traitorous to question these things.

Exactly! I posted because I want to understand why we couldn't use our bombers (which are basically immune to Iraqi fire) to do the job. I'm not "going wobbly" or anything of the kind. We are winning and killing thousands of Saddam's thugs. Is no one else concerned about alot of Apaches being put out of action when they might be needed to defend the 3rd ID when they engage the IRG tomorrow? It happened in Operation Anaconda.
