A pause is not the same as a quagmire. If we take the time to consolidate what we've got in the South, that would be a GOOD thing, rather than continuing this foolish rush to Baghdad. Let's keep reaming it from the air, and liberate some villages in the South (with is what we came to do... liberate villages, right?) Iraqis need to know we will stay with them, and guard them from the Fedayeen.

Heh, yes. I say "quagmire alert" in reference to anything in which the NYT will spin as a defeat for the troops, but in reality is a non-event.
