Ted,

I read the article, but I didn't see anything that would disagree with anything David said.

One thing that surprised me is that there are still tanks from 3rd Infantry division still in Kuwait. I thought the whole division was already in Iraq. Could it have been the 4th Infantry Division?

I read somewhere (I don't remember where) that ideally, we should have started the war 2 weeks later. That could shorten the duration of the war, bu we were at the dead end with diplomacy, and had to move when we did.

So anyway, the duration might have been shorter, but starting 2 weeks early moved up the end of the war. Probably by less than 2 weeks but somewhat.

On a slightly different subject, I have to say that it was a great idea to go with the "embeded" journalists. While they may not have the overview (which the military doesn't want to give away anyway) they bring the day to day life of the soldiers much closer. Also, it shows the world that we have nothing to hide.

But there is one "embeded" journalist on MS/C/NBC that gets on my nerves. He is a blond guy, last name starts with "B" I think.
