I simply do not understand criticism of the war so far. Two recognized and proven principles of war from Clauswitz and Nimitz that are being employed masterfully in this war are:

1) Go straight for the power center of the enemy as swiftly as possible. Done. We are all over Baghdad.

2) Bypass strongholds that are unnecessary to ultimate victory (remember Rabaul in WWII?). Done.

I might also add that the war is only 2 weeks old and we are kicking ass! So, the naysayers are either just ignorant boobs who wouldn't know a military campaign from a slopshoot, or they secretly wish that America would lose this war in order to satisfy some inner masochistic thirst for the destruction of America as we know it. Which group are you in?
