The fact that he said this tells me that he is not really supporting our war effort.

I have watched this guy for sometime. He is a big cheerleader of the troops in this cause. He just wants ot express his opinion about how one American heavy vehicle division has to take on a whole pile of Iraqi Divisions. I understand his concern. I just think he, as a tank commander, forgets that we have the best air force in the world.

God, I am watching BBC TV and the reporter explained how "Rummy" told the world that the war would be a "cake walk"!!!

Did Rummy ever say that? The only one person I recall saying something about a quick war was some idiot Admiral who commanded something in the gulf.

I am glad that you say that as I have not watched him. I come from the viewpoint of the military members who have had to work for him. I also know what the wives of the guys who served under him have had to report on him. None had one good thing to say about him at all. When you consider that you automatically cringe when you see him commenting on anything.

It may be a good service for him to worse case any scenario. I am hoping he will have to eat crow when in the end Baghdad is ours and the casualties are less than 200.

4th ID was prevented it's access from the North (thanks Turkey) and I know that they will be coming up the road soon and I am sure that the planners are taking that in to consideration.

Of course, I am just a military spouse and not any kind of expert at all. But, I know how certain tv channels can spin statements made by experts to make conditions look worse than they are.
