Lets hope it goes on. am a bit concerned about the Iraqi military's capabilities of responding as they have shown so far, so I would like to see it degraded quickly

The very latest as I have it... The shock and awe campaign has been delayed because we are in negotiations with members of the Iraqi Army, Republican Guard, and Sr. Republican Guard about surrendering. This has nothing to do with Saddam, who most officials believe is still alive and is not leaving.

but we need to be in baghdad, not the un. if the un is in charge saddam will be able to influence any new govt. get moving bush!!

I agree. The sooner we get into Baghdad, the better. Time to capture or kill Saddam!

i agree!! the object of "shock and awe" is to induce immediate surrender. but, we are prcticing incrementalism. my fear is not that we wont defeat the iraqis if we fight. my fear is that we will wait and the un will tell us to stop. it will be a disaster if the un is in charge of iraq. how funny would it be if we did the fighting and the un put a frenchman in charge in baghdad.
i greatly fear another bush half-measure. if we would just move we would be in baghdad in 2 days. our forces have barely budged today. why the delay?

Lets take out the air defenses. We are having enough problems with the choppers, lets not extend those to the aircraft. IMO, we should see a robust campaign against all radar facilities and anti-aircraft missles
