wait until you see trade gap numbers for March & April

these will reflect isolate but growing boycotts of US goods
even by German and French, but esp Islamics

we are now gauranteed to have a recession in USEconomy for Q2
it will grow in strength
energy prices will return back up, led by crude oil
90% of Iraqi exported oil has been going to USA
that entire production has ceased
Iraq is the #2 Arab oil producer

I predict each passing week will see more and more political opposition to this war, more and more setbacks on the battlefield, more and more surprising opposition, more and more quagmire around Baghdad

I do not expect Baghdad to fall
instead it will suffer from relentless bombings
Baghdad is bigger than Metro Boston, wider in land mass
