Bland; I've been watching the thing while remembering the words of Powell's in the PBS thing about the Gulf War.

There's no way they're unprepared or undermanned. The only curveball they've had to deal with at all was the Turkish refusal.

The next game will be to talk like Baghdad will wait while they go after Tikrit and Basra. And while the other two are being bombed and lots of movement occurs, keeping their attention elsewhere, special ops will pull off a solid in/out strike in Baghdad.

Not enough troops? I wouldn't be surprised if the final push is an assault on all three cities at the same time, which they just won't expect or be able to coordinate an effective response to.

At least, that's my hope.... within 2 weeks. A long drawn out urban battle costs everyone too much.
