FNC, commanders have predered a 4-6 pause on forward action??? Why would they do that? Are our guys going to sit in the freaking desert for SIX days?!?!?!?

What's the hurry?

How much you wanna bet this ordered halt is called a "quagmire" by some liberal reporter

[Grenada]

I guess there is no hurry, I am just thinking of the field day the news will have with this....so, you DID underestimate your oppostion, so you have made huge blunders.

If our guys were prepared for that, OK, but wouldn't that cause a moral issue, to doubt your leaders?

"What's the hurry? "

I agree, Wait to secure the supply lines, make sure we are ready when we move. In the meantime, you have six days to take out Iraqi forces with air power every time they gather somewhere.

Six Days for the Iraqi troops to sit and wait. Six days for them to think about surrendering. Six days for them to think about turning on Saddam. Six days for the people to think about and organize uprisings against Saddam. Six days in which someone might tell us where Saddam is. Six Days is a long time when US troops are surrounding you.
