U.S. Orders 4-6 Day Pause in Iraq Advance-Officers washingtonpost.com Reuters Saturday, March 29, 2003; 12:02 AM CENTRAL IRAQ (Reuters) - U.S. commanders have ordered a pause of between four to six days in a northwards push toward Baghdad because of supply shortages and stiff Iraqi resistance, U.S. military officers said on Saturday. They said the "operational pause," ordered on Friday, meant that advances would be put on hold while the military sorted out logistics problems with long supply lines from Kuwait. The invasion force would continue to attack Iraqi forces ahead of them with heavy air strikes during the pause, softening them up ahead of any eventual attack on Baghdad, said the officers, declining to be named. Use of gas-guzzling armored vehicles has been restricted to save fuel and food is also in short supply. In one frontline infantry unit, for instance, soldiers have had their rations cut to one meal packet a day from three. Resistance from Iraqi militias fighting in towns along the advance lines has hampered the stretched supply convoys. --------------------- Hmmmm. I thought "we" knew everything and were prepared for every eventuality with a proper contingency plan. Isn't that what the market supposedly priced in; An expedient, flawless war? What now? -ng- John
