Think about bypassed and surrounded pockets of resistance. Think about rapid forward movement. Major assets 'en masse' only work over major objective assets. Have you ever studied military tactics? You might be one of those who worry about a 'retreat into Baghdad'. These pockets CANNOT retreat to Baghdad now. We have bypassed AND surrounded those 'pockets'. Taking out those pockets STILL reqire air cover. If I have misread your comment, please clarify.

You have misread my comments!
Actually, I fully agree with your military views.
In the morning, when we learn that the 101st and 82nd Airborn divisions are fighting OUT of Baghdad, I would not be surprized.
The American Military NEVER PLAYS FAIR!
