Let's face it

The U.S. strategy is flawed, says this analysis from a Knight-Ridder writer.

Despite the aerial pounding they've taken, it's not clear that Saddam Hussein, his lieutenants or their praetorian guard are either shocked or awed. Instead of capitulating, some regular Iraqi army units are harassing American supply lines. Contrary to American hopes - and some officials' expectations - no top commander of Saddam Hussein's Republican Guard has capitulated. Even some ordinary Iraqis are greeting advancing American and British forces as invaders, not as liberators.

Not that I want that to be true. I really don't. Now that we're there, the worst thing would be to get bogged down; I hope they end it quick.

Did anybody doubt that U.S. Plans to Run Iraq Itself when the war's over?

And just because I can, here's a link to a story headlined Hollywood's abuzz over Moore's anti-war harangue at the Oscars.
