You have a good point ...but the media needs to stay out of the way when our troops are risking their lives dealing with insurgents and showing great restraint in making life or death decisions.
Let these people live and they will come back another day to kill more innocents.
Bump to the top!
Your need to slam Rumsfield seems a little ridiculous.
"You're an idiot."
After what you posted about Rumsfeld, I think we know who the idiot is......You really should take the advice of the guy that suggested you STFU!
Almost makes you think Ted Kennedy would love Iraq to be another Bay of Pigs.
Having NBC suits and antidotes does not mean you have an operational cache of WMDs. Iran has chemical munitions and used them on Iraq on the battlefield. They had the war of the cities during the 1980s with both sides launching SCUDS at their respective capital cities. They uses hig explosive warheads but could have resorted to chemical loads. Many nations train to fight and survive in a nuclear, chemical and biological environment. The Iraqis built many of their underground bunkers with filtration systems for NBC purposes.

Not Tet yet, but a good start. They may not have the manpower to kill enough for a Tet. Good analysis in your post, might surprise some that the US military adapts during operations and adopts for planning purposes.
