It sounds like they have Republican guard sprinkled all over the country and not just concentrated in a few places. Meanwhile we are speeding northward and leaving enemy in our rear, who can then harrass our supply lines. I think that could be a problem. Its not real clear what happened to the republican guard here either. They just mention the apaches got shot up. I'm not sure I like this rolling start strategy. The "shock and awe" seems to be in Baghdad, but not anywhere else.

Hundreds of sorties per night are launched. "Shock and awe" is happening all over the country.

Like I said before on another thread, you've just set Patton spinning in his grave at 5,000 RPM.

Why do you want to get more Americans killed? Because that's PRECISELY what you'll achieve if you stop the advance, and "consolidate" our positions, and start a giant bug-hunt for every hostile with a gun in the American rear, causing the war to last, oh, a good extra 3-6 weeks or so.

Audacity, audacity, ALWAYS audacity.

That will change now. I saw a video of a transport convoy leaving Kuwait today. It had a helicopter gunship in front and a helicopter gunship in the rear. That convoy will not get lost or take a wrong turn. That convoy will not be ambushed by a company of Republican Guard. If anybody gets within a couple of miles of that convoy they will be dead.

They have obviously already adjusted for what happened earlier today. Thats all I ask.

Sorry, misformated, should have previewed, I'm just monumentally POed today.
