It seems quite incredible how this is organized. To get a big Marine force on the move requires fantastical logistical planning and the planning that must have gone into this is truly extraordinary.

It is said that amateurs talk tactics. Professionals talk logistics.

Can't be. All I've heard is about the terrible setbacks we've encountered along our way to the fastest advance in history.

I wouldn't put too much trust in these people, however. They probably have pictures with Saddam on one side and GW on the other and switch it around depending on whose troops are in town.

However, it must be said they are Shia Muslims.
The area we have been travelling through is predominantly Shia.

Saddam Hussein is a Sunni and a northerner.
The Sunni strongholds lie around Baghdad and to the north.

There is a terrific danger this could turn out to be a Shia-Sunni civil war.
God help us if that happens.
I am certain the forces holding out in the south are Sunnis
who are terrified by the thought
of surrendering in the Shia strongholds.
The Shia region ends just at the outskirts of Baghdad.
