Someone on the other side gambled....and lost big time. I wonder who is calling the shots..

This was a dumb military move on their part.....they took us on in a frontal assault while we had overwhelming firepower on hand.

We had M1A1's.... Bradleys.......and 100 men......with air support overhead.

This was a Saddam move.

Just got home and heard about this.

I think we stopped something incredibly big here.

The press and Daschle et al are so sad, too bad.

I wonder who is calling the shots.

Someone who spent too much time watching movies like "Blackhawk Down", I would surmise.

I humbly and wholeheartedly disagree. Saddam never had the stomach for suicidal odds (thought he could take advantage of turmoil in Iran, and when the Iranians proved to be just as tough, he unleashed chemicals; took out Kuwait, then had his army dither until it was ALMOST too late to get out; had his army fold before the 3rd ID and a few good Marines). Sounds like one of his lackeys who paid just a little more attention in Friday Mosque than he did and decided to try to deplete Hell's supply of Reno clones.
