It is possible that military men are not really trusted by Iraqi leadership.

Many of Saddam's military actions have been to demonstrate his strength when he believed his power was fading. This was one of the reasons he moved against the Kurds in '73? and also when he brought troops to the border with Kuwait in '98? To him, it was/is all about ensuring he retains his power to rule the country as deems necessary. And in doing so, he takes gambles and he sometimes blunders - badly.

Wow, sunny, 67 and gazillions of miles of beach. Sounds like Iraq may become the next vacation hot spot once the Anthrax and other assorted WMDs are removed.

"Meanwhile Washington announced yesterday it was flying another 30,000 troops from the US to the war zone."

Don't know what to make of this.

"The Pentagon admitted it was shifting its battlefield tactics after commanders on the ground said they were surprised by the stiff resistance put up Saddam's paramilitaries."

Lincoln, as usual, put it best. He stated that Meade would fight hard to protect his own dunghill. He was referring to the impending battle at Gettysburg (Meade was a Pennsylvanian).

When you try to conquer someone else's country, you should expect a stiff fight. Our boys are seeing this now, but I have no doubt they will prevail. Take Baghdad, kill Hussein and his entourage, and the rest will fall in short order.

B53's are one bigger.

You can run, but you'll just die tired.

Not good news about them heading straight for our Marines....already battered and bruised. We better fly our planes no matter what the sandstorm is doing.

Could the RG be clearing out of areas they think will be subjected to chemical or bio attack?

You know who these people remind me of? Al Qaeda.

The disconcerting thing is that the Iraqis were never like that. The ones that were with the government were bullies, but not would-be martyrs. They tried to take part of Iran, and retreated when battle turned against them--they didn't have the suicide warriors. Then there was Kuwait, and altho they got creamed, they weren't wearing explosive belts. Now, Saddam's donned the religious mantle, and enough Iraqis seem to believe this crap that their acting like Palis or Al Qaeda. Its like a virus.

[Marylander]

Could it be that they have left us a nasty booby-trap? (think chem-bio.) It would, of course kill a good number of their people, but we all know that means nothing to them when it is balanced against causing American casualties.

I was wondering the same thing.

[rwfromkansas]

There is that oppressive Iraqi heat people were whining about a couple weeks ago.

My....67 degrees is just unbearable.

/sarcasm

[rwfromkansas]

Perhaps. There are chem suits for such cases.

   1. And don't ever mess with a horny bull!

   2. Hit them hard!

An unfortunate combination of posts!!

[RasterMaster]

I'd say Saddam is in A WORLD OF $hit!

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

A convoy is a very important thing. I'm sure these guys will be part of the welcome wagon:
