Has this advance become overextended?

I hope these are not men that walked away from their weapons yesterday only to come back to fight again.

I'm sick of this nickel and dime sh!t; If we are going to endanger our troops, pull out the whoop-ass and stop messing around. We need to stop being weak and crush some heads.

Because they can be used for US and UK troops and supplies, maybe. Not all go in at once.
AND, what if they had to retreat ?(Praying it's not gonna happen!)

There remain few substitutes for men in the field.

We need a couple hundred thousand more troops on the ground in Iraq.

And no more "half-measures."

Maybe they think they will need them for the counterattack. </sarcasm off>

Probably, I was dumbfounded yesterday as to why they just didnt call an airstrike on that building in Umm Quasar that they spent hours farting around with.

I'm thinking more of the shock and awe stuff compounded this time. They didn't get it the first round.

Figures they'd come back during the day. They know if they came out at night we'd blow their scrawny asses to kingdom come.

Iraqi's use guerrilla tactics.
They don't have PC rules. They can do anything they want.

I wasnt referring to American and UK forces(I wouldnt call them dumbasses) I was wondering why the Iraqi army didnt blow them to slow us down.

Didnt get it the first round?

It took 2 [almost 3] nukes to stop the Japanese.

Now I ask you? Who is smarter? Who was/is saner?
