before we have house to house in Bagdad.The Beeb and Sky have been talking this point for about a week now. US doesn't want to get into urban warfare. No experience in this. Blah, blah, blah. And the Afghan winter was supposed to be detrimental to us, too.

And the Afghan winter was supposed to be detrimental to us, too. Oh yeah, I forgot those, all the "season" talking points, and the "weather" and "Phase of the moon" ones too.
We'll do what it takes. I am so impressed with the conduct of this action, from the diplomatic efforts (they do seem to be so far back in history, now), to our care for the civilians, knocking of the press, etc.
Not to mention the desert heat and sandstorms. Of course eventually we're going to have to go street-to-street. Then we're going to have to police that monster of a city. How would you like to take over Houston and police it? But we have a nice fresh heavy armored division ready to move in and park a tank on every corner. Most high-tech tools in the army with the 4thID so we can put cameras where we don't have tanks. Our guys can handle it.
