Sure thing, Alamo-Girl!

Heh,heh...

Selling snow balls in Antarctica, are we?

This thread has gone over their heads :o)

[mrustow]

I guess so.

[Victoria Delsoul]

The danger of house-to-house urban fighting - the ultimate outside-in scenario - lies ahead.

That's what worries me the most. I think the potential for the loss of life on each side is much greater.

[Landru]

I don't share the same fear(s) others have suggested insofar as thinking there'll be "house to house" fighting, per se.
In spite of the Liberal-Socialist quisling mediots best efforts to the contrary, I believe an overwhelming number of Iraqi people are glad as hell we're there.

The isolated bands of resistence will be *fingered* by these grateful -- no longer terrorized -- peoples who may very well enjoin the fight with us & against them on behalf of their own best interests, freedom.

Time will tell.

As for this "going over people's heads"?
Maybe.
While a few of us are simply fashionably late.

...again. {g}

[mrustow]

Let's hope Landru is right, and the fears are overblown.

The crazy thing is, the alleged reporters have been scrambling to change their spin, so as to turn every American victory into a symbolic and political defeat. The other day, I saw a British reporter at a briefing, and you had to see the guy's face, to appreciate the hatred behind the words of his rhetorical "question." To paraphrase, it went, "Since the Iraqis have fallen so easily, how can you say that they ever represented a threat to world peace?"

[mrustow]

a few of us are simply fashionably late.

LOL.

Let's just say, I'm being cautiously optimistic. I just hope our boys don't get overconfident in Baghdad, and get their a**es shot off. I suppose -- or hope -- that after Ambush Alley, they will take due care.

[Landru]

"Let's just say, I'm being cautiously optimistic."

A wise posture given *who* we're talking about just got routed, there.

"I just hope our boys don't get overconfident in Baghdad, and get their a**es shot off. I suppose -- or hope -- that after Ambush Alley, they will take due care."

Something's telling me there isn't one single solitary troop who's not on their guard; &, will remain so.
And remain vigilant as long as they're in Iraq, & long after this has been declared offically "over."

...I sure in the hell know I would be.
