Can anyone tell me why only 4 days into this war we are engaging our ground troops in heavy fighting? What happened to overwhelming force by air taking out most of the problems, then the troops cleaning up?

because we are not trying to destroy Iraq. the mission is to topple the Baathist regime. We could carpet bomb Baghdad. we could slaughter the whole lot of them. That is not the mission. I personally think we are doing the right thing. It will take a bit longer, there will be casualties, but the ends justify the means. Kim Jong Il is watching... and so are billions of potential enemies. Best we keep them at worst neutral at best future allies.
