NO NO NO It's a trap. Now they have us right were they want us. We don't even have a valid coalition. We're doomed I tell you. DOOMED! Don't you know that now it's going to years maybe centuries to undo this?

This is good news. It might help deflect the coming "martyr" attack on the airport.

I love this quote:
"We are going to try to isolate Baghdad," Watt, of the Marine Mechanized Infantry, said on the road from Kut to the capital. "We're going to surround Baghdad and start taking chunks out of where the enemy are."
