How come some Marines are rationed to 1 meal a day? That's not a sign of success its a sign of poor logistics and poor planning.

According to the inbedded reporters I heard last night, their meals are NOT being cut to 1 a day. Rick Leventahl, who is with one of the frontmost groups, said that they had typically eaten only 2 a day, or fewer, anyway. He said there was a LOT of food in each of those packs, and most guys would eat some of it and save some for later. He said he couldn't imagine who would put out such a story, but that he hadn't seen it in his group.

I was watching a different channel and someone asked if this could be dis-information put out by the Coalition to make Sadaam's folks THINK we were having trouble, and lure them to come afer US. Who knows, but I don't think things are desparate, it is just, as someone mentioned before, a result of our moving so quickly in the beginning.

and lure them to come afer US.

Now I truly understand the utility of the embedded reporters.
It's an elaborate psy-ops meant to push Saddam and his regime into paralysis...
turning them into couch potatoes staring at CNN/FOX/etc for hours on end,
eating too many Doritos, drinking too much beer and being driven to indecision
by conflicting reports from embedded reporters.

OK, I'm being facetious...but who knows?
