But things aren't looking that good. Basra and Umm Qsar are still not safe and secure. The 51st had resurrected, with tanks and artillery through out the town. The Commander they let go is in charge. Wouldn't be surprised if they had aid from across the border.

The syncronized assault on Baghdad is running out of steam.
Forward units are exhausted, streched thin and supply lines are shakey. RG is imbedded in towns and communities, suburbia, residential areas. Homes with a tank in the driveway, AAA on the roof and families inside the houses.

Regulars command irregulars in all towns bypassed. Secondary convoys and supplies are being attacked.
If the advance columns are cut off in bad weather conditions they become sitting ducks on a frozen pond.

Stalingrad all over again.
