Barry McCaffrey commander of the 24th Infantry Division in 1991 says: Casualties can reach 3.000 because Rumsfeld made a mistake and underestimated the number of soldiers necessary to fight the adventure. Allied forces will face a two/three day extremely dangerous battle. I think it would better the invaders stop. Regroup and get re-enforcement before proceeding. The 32 helicopters were pushed back and the Iraqis are going to get bolder.

Seems like the Syrian bus was 'accidentally' bombed...

From Debka: Away from the main arena, a small yet illuminating scene played out just across the Iraqi border Monday morning. Syria complained that a stray American missile had struck a bus killing five civilians and injuring ten. According to DEBKAfile’s military sources, the only true fact in this terse account was that the bus was Syrian. The missile was no stray. It was deliberately fired from an F-15 fighter-bomber at a bus carrying armed Palestinian volunteers to join up with Iraqi forces, in order to make sure this was the last such Palestinian group of volunteers for Iraq. That F-15 made a piece of history; it carried out the first American air attack on a combatant Palestinian group. More will certainly be heard of this episode.
