Predictable -- I think as a military doctrine Shock & Awe is crap. As a psyop it was beautiful. I predicted Baghdad would get a spankin' tonight, more than last night but not as badly as tomorrow night unless they get their sh*t together enough to stop calling us a "lying, criminal gang of bastards" and get serious about unconditional surrender. It's hard not to laugh at the way these people string words together even when they're cursing you.

Not that I'm any sort of genius for figuring that the game plan will be gradual increase in pressure.

What is the hold up? Has it been canceled?
