No doubt we should have had a brigade of MP's and full Marshal Law.

LB,
We have chopped this subject up before.

There were three of Saddam's most loyal divisions operating N of Baghdad. 40 A Teams from the US 10th SF Group contained them after the 4th Infantry Division was denied access through Turkey.

Unfortunately those divisions never really got into the fight...not like they would have with the 4th ID. That imo continues to be the problem. Those folks need to be provided the opportunity to fight us. We are providing them some of that opportunity now.

The 4th ID would have added 20,000 troops and our most technical fighting equipment to the battle area. They would have taken out all three divisions in the desert.

The war will end when someone submits.
