Hopefully, the British and our own forces will get in their quickly and help and keep it from turning into a blood bath for those rebelling against the fascist Saddamites.
I pray we do, and that it is successful, and sets a pattern and an example for other Shiite and Kurd areas.
The British forces will go in on their own time line. They are good fighters once engaged, but often a bit late to the start line. Their tradition of a small professional army means they try to save their troops from harm by thorough preparation and letting the enemy exhaust themselves.
