oh come on, you must now admit that those claims about the "regime collapsing" and "leadership fleeing" and "mass surrenders" that were made the first few days were all nonsense. And now they are predicing this?

Even the currently military analyst on Fox right now is saying this is insane. Its not just me.

this army general (Donald Edwards) on fox just now was good, very realistic report about the challenges of the ground operations at the point of attack with the RGs south of baghdad.

Who told us where Saddamn was that first night? One more good tip-off and this whole thing could end sooner rather than later.

Does anyone think, as I do, that at least 50% of the comments coming from the Pentagon regarding the regime collapsing are psy ops?

Apparently, I have more confidence than you that the war planners know what they are doing, and that they have taken every contingency into consideration. - They are the professionals. - This is what they get paid to do. - I have no intention of condeming every twist and turn of this operation that I do not clearly understand simply because I don't have the information on my desk that they do. - When I say I support the military, it means I support them all; from the privates on up through their command, and I am not going to sit here and try to second-guess or criticise every little decision that is made in this war.

If you listen to reporters and armchair generals you get a much different view of this war. SOD Rumsfeld and CENTCOM have not been misleading the people.The press on the other hand - never have so few been working to cause so much mischief for so many, imho.

Humor break:

One day a teacher read the story Chicken Little to her class. She came to the part of the story where Chicken Little tried to warn the farmer. She read, ".... and so Chicken Little went up to the farmer and said, "The sky is falling, the sky is falling! " The teacher paused then asked the class, "And what do you think that farmer said?"

One little girl raised her hand and said, "I think he said: 'Holy Shit! A talking chicken!'" The teacher was unable to teach for the next 10 minutes.
