Just because the battle of Baghdad may have begun, it may NOT end quickly . . . the troops are expecting the very heavest resistance inside there.

Of course, HOPEFULLY it will end quickly, the Iraqi Generals will execute Saddam and the people of Iraq will warmly welcome the US troops and no retaliation or looting will take place. Do you like a "best case scenario" for a change?)

I thought of that . . . It's just frustrating to keep summarizing "my scenario" and defending it without you knowing my "full story". I guess you missed that thread.

:D

My dad suggested that they just leave the bunkers sealed. If Saddam's in there, he can just hope he brought lots of books to read.

Come on folks, let's be adult about this. Our military commanders ordered the Stars and Stripes to be raised to say "NEENER, NEENER, NEENER!" to the remaining ELITE REPUBLICAN GUARD and the street gangs that Saddam armed as his last defense.

EOS!!!!

SWEET!

The U.S. Army columns moved from southeast to northeast to the newest and main presidential palace on the Tigris.

Iraqis fled along the river, some jumping in the water


They drew small arms fire from a clock tower overlooking the compound. Tanks quickly destroyed it.

Iraqi troops did not use any mortars or artillery against the American forces.

Hey, just cause I may WARN against "worst case" doesn't meant I am not HOPING for "best case". ;)

However, the "worst case" is STILL possible - there is a lot of work for the troops still to do even without the thread of WMD.
