I think Rumsfeld is seeing how long supply lines can be - sort of an experiment.

It would be real hard to cut the left flank or western supply lines - it's out in the desert.

Enough Apaches will be up to keep the supply lines secure.
There are also the A-10s, Puff the Magic Dragon (now C-130 (Hercules) instead of DC-3s (Dakotas)), Marine Cobra helicopter gunships (near end of life cycle), British Tornado fighters (good ground attack fighter)

I expect the U.S. forces may pull back after initial contact to try to draw more Iraqi elemnets out in the open.
Once they are in the open....

Sorry, the Iraqis get pounded, not coalition forces.
