Uh huh. The enemy comes out of the towns and we kill them.
Works for me.
If Iraqis had two armored divisions in hiding that they could unleash against our supply lines then I would agree that we would would be in trouble. We have to distinguish here between and true military threat and a nuisance. The irregular units still active in the rear are a nuisance.
Give me a break with that "Bridge Too Far" article. Again, you'd think our guys were on the verge of being wiped out if you read that thing. But, there it is, at the beginning of the umpteenth paragraph:
The division as of Wednesday had suffered only one combat-related death.
Not too far, I guess, this bridge. Iraqis aren't "striking" at supply lines en masse. A few irregular militia ambushed a couple of convoys, causing small disruption and a small number of casualties. They have not done any militarily significant damage.
Keep believin' it buddy. Every time they "venture out," it's called "targets." Every time they stay put, it's called "targets." When you run out of targets, the game is over.
Oh, and while you are so concerned about our supply lines, have you managed to account for an ENTIRE MARINE EXPEDITIONARY FORCE and thousands of regular infantry and 101st AIRBORNE that have seemingly "fallen off the map?"
Don't know where those are, do you?
Clue: neither does Saddam. But he's about to find out.
