    Dissident, how do you know they only have 7.62mm rounds?

    They're being careful because they CAN be careful, there's no reason to hurry.

    I'd rather wait 1/2 an hour and call in an airstrike rather than make tanks try to take out a 20-40 foot story building...

      air strikes are costing me money

      run the guy over. Or even better. Use the big gun that is on top of those tanks

      Or as the military guy says, use some artillery.

      air strikes are too inneffecient to use in this case if you ask me.

        Diss...

        It's not just one guy, they don't know how many there are. They just said there may be 100-120 troops there...

        What military guy are you talking about, you'd better not be watching Fox News or I'll kick your ass.

        Gen. Wesley Clark was saying that it makes sense to take time...

          Asher, that's what 155s are for.

          What the hell are these guys doing other than staging a made for CNN show?

            Well, I would hope so. Standing up isn't a good idea when an airstrike is coming in.

              I'm going to go out on a limb here and think the real military people know a bit more than armchair generals.

                Cool, why don't you tell me how many 155s are in range of the target.

                Again, something tells me the military commanders know more about what's appropriate than armchair generals watching CNN or Fox News.

                  I'm going to go out on a limb here, and suggest that we are witnessing propaganda in a modern form.

                    Yes, and I also think Saddam is a US puppet.

                      Is there even an artillery in the area? I think the Marines would've called it in if they had it...

                        yes I'm watching Fox news.

                        I hope they dont' use choppers then. They may have a shoulder launced launcher.

                        Artillery cannot be shot down...

                            Probably.

                            Nice to see some second-guessing in realtime. Sheesh.

                            They need to have someone standing by with a bleeper when they have Marines near the cameras on live TV, though.

                              How far do you think they have gone beyond the range of their self propelled 155s?

                                and this cannot be propaganda. Because it would have the wrong effect.

                                This is looking bad for the U.S. that we can't find one or two guys in the desert.
