The Roman army used to win a lot of battles like this - mass enemy desertions upon their approach because of their fearsome reputation. If this was the Bush strategy, to prolong this as long as possible accompanied by video of massive new bombs in order to maximize the stress on the Iraqi army and turn the "war" mostly into a victory parade, it worked brilliantly.

LOL, maybe if we just sit and wait, all of the Iraqis will desert before it even starts. We shall see what happens in the next 6 or 7 hours.

Err, name three. I'm willing to be instructed, but it is the first I've heard of it. And I know rather a lot of Roman history.
