Marines Poised to Strike Baghdad
Officials say one division of Republican Guard is "destroyed."
Which means, unfortunately, it's probably going to get very ugly indeed. On the other hand, we have covered an incredible amount of ground and done a tremendous amount to take charge in Iraq. It is interesting that some have recoiled because this wasn't a cakewalk for us. Maybe it wasn't, and maybe the administration should have done more to tell the most fervent believers in video game wars that we still had to use real soldiers. That said, there has been an amazing demonstration of force both in the air and on the ground. That this has always been about whether we could pull it off without bloodshed, not whether we could pull it off, speaks volumes about both our power and our aims. And now, alas, the roughest challenge. We'll meet it, but let us hope and pray that the cost is as little as possible.
Good luck and godspeed to our troops and may the Iraqi people soon be free.
