EXCERPT:

Monday, 31 March Washington D.C. :: Steve Kingstone :: 0730GMT

Senior planners at the Pentagon are privately saying that Rumsfeld has
dragged them into a mess.


Positive messages from the Pentagon include the news that they're
degrading Republican Guard forces near Baghdad, and have damaged
Iraqi Army communications to such an extent that they are now using
open radio communication.

The coalition are also targeting individual Iraqis, such as Chemical Ali,
by using the CIA and small dedicated Army units. They're trying to take
high ranking Iraqis out, one by one.

The suicide bombing of US troops over the weekend ism going to have
an effect in the US. It means that US soldiers wont be able to approach
Iraqi civilians in a friendly, unhostile manner, and this will demean their
stance of coming as "liberators" rather than in conquest.
