We are setting ourselves up for an ambush!!! Re: Raids in Iraq.
With everyone (generals, reporters, & analysts) bragging over CNN worldwide about our new rapid response in terms of acting on fresh intelligence bypassing analysis, it will not take the enemy long to capitalize on this.

I hope our troops are being lead by men who keep this possibility of an ambush in mind.

3. Never been in the military but
If we think of it, I'm certain the military has considered it too.

4. Yes, I think so as well . . . only . . .
The administration's thinking is clouded, especially concerning who our enemy is in Iraq (only Saddam loyalists with a sprinkling of Shi'ites or whatever), and if the cloud reaches down in ranks . . . then we might not be prepared. I see this as a disaster waiting to happen, and although I did not agree with the war, I would hate to see American soldiers slaughtered in an ambush.

and . . welcome to DU Dem2dend :toast:
