We could see coalition tanks in Baghdad tomorrow.

How could this be possible. Those tanks are stalled in the desert, waiting for extra drivers and more food for everyone! Did someone screw up and forget to tell them that there was no possible way they could move -- except in retreat?

Time will tell what the original plan was, but I feel what has happened has the makings of a brilliant military action. The initial rapid push towards Baghdad basically forced the Republican Guard divisions to stick in one place -- in front of Baghdad with limited room to move down. Once they were pinned in one place, it became easy to start decimating them with B52 runs.

Like they used to say on the A-Team: "Don't you love it when a plan comes together?"

I've always be a fan of Rommel, Patten and the Blitzkrieg. I think we just refined it and put a Yankee Doodle tattoo on it.
