Am I missing something

Did the coalition not use a Blitzkrieg like maneuver to PREVENT Saddam
from blowing the oil fields
flooding the Gulf with oil
blowing the bridges across the rivers
Launching Scuds on Israel

Seems things have gone pretty DAMN GOOD

The only problem has been a State Dept one
We should hyave pulled the ships out of the Med the first day Turkey started their BS
Those other 2 divisions that were activated weeks ago would now be in Kuwait and probably Iraq

I agree. Things have gone remarkably well, considering the fact that we are fighting an enemy who does not play by the usual rules of battle, that we are supposedly fighting against international opinion (which is very debatable), and against the potential use of WMD's. Anyone who thought this battle would be a "cake walk" (and they won't be found in the Bush administration) was setting themselves up for bitter disappointment. Given the circumstances, the U.S. military has made significant gains in a very short amount of time.
