re Iraq's David and Goliath tactics
So, it's been five whole days of war, and Iraqi fedayeen haven't lost completely yet - because they were bypassed by Allied troops making for Baghdad. Guess they must really be playing their hand with "some skill", huh? The Beeb wishes. Best comment already provided in this lovely exchange:

Mitchell Switch (of the BBC): Nobody thought this was going to be simple, but, given the degree of resistance, which I think you concede has been unexpected -- the level of casualties, now the prisoners of war -- is it not the case that this is proving to be significantly more difficult than you might have hoped?
GEN. ABIZAID: No. (Laughter.)
