I don't think we'll lose, but I'm not assuming it will be easy or hard. I think presumptions either way are only used to persuade, and have no firm basis for assessment.

Gulf 1, Bosnia and Afghanistan proved easier than most anticipated, yet I think it unwise to presume our luck will hold or run out. Better to weigh best & worst case scenarios and see if a strategy can be formulated to mitigate the worst.

A major general on fox was saying our troops will not be going into the cities.. They expect the exiled Iraqi's to go into the cities.. Perhaps with our support.. Training for these troops was to start this week or next.
