Jim Wilkinson, Gen. Franks' spokesman: "There's a lot of ugly, hard work left to do...all of this has been part of a plan that is methodical...and is working."
"Our troops are in jeopardy right now." "There are multiple fronts in this war." "There's no hardship for us (with lights out)...we can fight in the day, we can fight at night... a lot has been (said) about the heat. Let me tell you, it's hotter on the enemy..." Heh.

I was just going to post about Franks' spokesman who is on Fox. He is very impressive. I know we've all seen him before.
He cautioned that the cover of darkness may be being used by the Dark Side to target innocents and at daybreak will claim the coalition committed whatever they are up to (bombing Shiites and the like).
He cautioned us all (the viewers) to temper our expectations.
He did say this is a regime in their last days, but it will not be over by tomorrow.

Regarding that last question to Rumsfeld about himself and Powell getting along, it just occurred to me that the press just cannot get over the fact that this administration doesn't want to be FRIENDS with them.
More: Guy from CENTCOM saying that the "elite" Republican troops are deadenders and that they will have NO part in any forthcoming negotiations or government.
