<<Our infantry learned the hard way to do this in France in the summer of '44. You don't walk down the street.>>

Its hard to gain an advantage in man to man street fighting.
The advantage we will have will come from technology which is continually improved and which the terrorists do not have access to.
Better night vision devices, more effective snipers, pinpointing the source of gunfire or mortar shells.Better armor. 20 months of improvements made since the original shock and awe treatment of Baghdad.

As noted, our men may go thru houses and avoid the streets.

Communications, computer displays at headquarters of action in the entire city, near-instant response to calls for air strikes or shelling. Birds eye views from Predators.

One improvement leads to another and improves the kill ratio.

Make it swift. Get Zarqawri
