So, the 64 dollar question seems to be: does the tip of the spear have enough oomph to push through to Baghdad?
If not, is there something major going on in the West or the North we don't know about?
If the answer to the foregoing two questions is no, then are we settling in for a long pause until additional troops are deployed? I can't believe that; that would mean the original plan was defective, as we really haven't had all that much go other than as planned.
One impression I do have is that the threat to the supply lines is not as big as some are making it out to be. Yes we have to deploy blocking forces along the line. but there were blocking forces designated for that task and they seem to be doing the job. The Iraqis are only trying small, uncoordinated raiding attacks that the Marines seem to be fending off adequately. Unless and until the Iraquis actually penetrate to and take out some supply vehicles, it strikes me there attacks aren't really a serious problem.
Finally, has anyone heard firm confirmation or denial on the reported discovery of armed chemical warheads with Russian writing all over them?

No they don't, lol.
I had been thinking that Iran was oddly quiet, so I thought this little article should be seen, although it's hardly surprising, considering the source.
