my turn to be an armchair analyst...
We are putting too much faith in 4th ID getting to Iraq in time right now...let me say why

Those vehicles have been on ships for 2 months with no maintenence. A quarter of them won't even start.Some tanks have the wrong engines in them because of the rush to get them loaded into the ships. They do not even have enough batteries for all of them.
Tanks go out on exercises here, after a couple days out, they come back and are on the line (in for repairs) for days on end. They are seriously high maintenence.
We need to add another week to the time it'll take to get the 4th soldiers where we need them because all of this needs to be factored in.

I thought I'd get a rise out of someone! I didn't mention all I've heard but this should get the blood flowing.
