"temporary halt while the 4th Infantry Division deploys."

Like I said:

Dig in and consolidate gains.

The Washington Post said on Thursday many commanders believed the combination of Iraqi resistance and vulnerable supply lines stretching back to Kuwait would dictate a temporary halt while the 4th Infantry Division deploys.

"100,000 more U.S. soldiers into Iraq by the end of April, bringing the total U.S.-led force there to about 225,000."

Yes. They are doing what Elmat said:

Bring in 3 invaders for each Iraqi in arms

Make a corridor between Kuwaiti border and stock pile.

U.S. to Add 100,000 Troops to Iraq Force-Officials
Thu March 27, 2003 05:55 PM ET

By Charles Aldinger
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. military plans to double its forces on the ground in Iraq to about 200,000 in the next month as the United States and Britain press to oust Iraq's President Saddam Hussein, U.S. officials said on Thursday.

There are currently about 125,000 U.S. and British soldiers and Marines fighting in Iraq in a week-old war against Baghdad.

The U.S. officials, who asked not to be identified, said plans call for inserting as many as 100,000 more U.S. soldiers into Iraq by the end of April, bringing the total U.S.-led force there to about 225,000.
