>I am quite surprised by the resistance we are encountering

heehee & jbennett...you are surprised? What did you expect? No resistance? No enemy fire? No ambushes, false surrenders, attacks from civilian buildings - such as hospitals? No U.S. POWs? No incidents of "friendly fire"?

I'm a actually shocked at the lack of Iraqi resistance, the small number of allied casualties (fewer than 50 thus far), the speed of our advance towards baghdad, Iraq's inability to launch missile attacks on Israel. It hasn't even been a full week yet and we're already knocking on Baghdad's door!

Did anyone say this would be a cake walk? No. Has the media been hysterical in their reporting? Yes. Will casualities on both sides climb during the next few weeks? Absolutely.

What I find truly amazing is the lack of admissions from the left of Saddam's truly evil regime and their tactics. Where are the protests? Where is the outrage? And you wanted Mr. Blix to "contain" this SOB??? If only he had two more months, right?

Ritter is an idiot. This war isn't even close to a quagmire.
