For God's sake, I'm sick and tired of hearing of this "pause". Does anyone really think our advance would just keep going any further toward Baghdad before the RG divisions ahead of it were degraded sufficiently by air power? There IS no delay! The only "problem" that I can see is that our advance may have gotten to where it is faster and sooner than had been planned. Now they have to wait for the 4th ID to get there and for the RG to be bombed down to 50%. Big deal. Baghdad's not going anywhere. By the time the 4th ID is there the RG will be in a world of hurt, and then we'll move in on Baghdad.

We have to get that other armored division in from Germany (which one of the nations would allow to use their railroads to deploy) which after the war will return to Poland as part of our new basing strategy.

By the time the 4th ID is there the RG will be in a world of hurt... I imagine they're already in a world of hurt but we're not seeing it. Actually, I'm glad we're not seeing this carnage because the mainstream media would portray us of being evil bullies in this very lopsided part of the war.
