They gotta go reload, my friend.I am probably giving the Iraqi's too much credit for operational-art here, but my first thought concerning the Basra column was feint. The real action is going to happen further north and our Attack Helos are socked-in. It's gonna be a slugfest.

I think they were trying to make a run for the desert and get lost in the sandstorm. They probably felt that they had no choice. Tough darts, farmer.

Doesn't seem likely. This attack was too small for that.

Methinks the Iraqi forces are leaderless.

This whole operation has been pretty much like shooting fish in a barrel. A whole week in with less than 20 U.S. KIA, Bill O'Reilly reported last night that his sources told him we've killed 25,000 Iraqis (which seems a bit high to me). I'm still not too sure how much credit they deserve for operational-art. I hope you're wrong, but I believe we are prepared for the worst if it comes to that.
