Based on assorted Military reports from all sources available, it appears to this viewer that Baghdad is on the verge of Fall.
Saddam's reign is about to end.
When reviewing the type of fighting Saddam's forces have reverted too, harrassing minor skirmishes, rather than full scale military engagements, (the only way to possibly stop the coalition forces from taking Bagland) it becomes clear that he no longer has any means of preventing the Coalition from taking Baghdad, and once that happens this war is over.....
Please note: I accept there is one nasty MF battle about to happen, "The Battle Of Baghdad", and it may reign for a few days.
But on the other side of this sand storm, this evening our time, the battle will be engaged by the close ground support, Apaches, Warthogs, and F15's and there is no ground force on earth, even our own, that can withstand that.
That is then coupled with M1-A1 tanks, sitting a mile out of range, throwing in shot after shot without any challange from overhead air craft......
This war is about to end.....
I hope some of the Iraqi soldiers who would rather be farmers can get away.
And may I say, as a representative of the Good Lord here on Earth, The American Military, under the guidence of President Bush, has set the Gold Standard in fighting War:
No war was ever fought in such a generous, compassionate way.
EVER
