I'm shocked and awed.

Heroic (if there in fact is such a thing as heroism in war) - or stupid. The Polish cavalery charges of sept 1939 springs to mind...

Obviously the good soldier Svejk (my avatar) is the only true war hero!

Never heard of guerilla warfare before? That fact that the coalition hasn't taken any major cities is a sign of stiff Iraqi resistance.

I am not sure I like this though. A long war could well means lots of civilian deaths.

That's for sure.

5 days resistance and still 300000 Iraqi soldiers left between there and Baghdad. The shlt is going to hit the fan....

Spec.

I would make a joke about women drivers. But that seems a bit insensitive . And anyways we all know the army would never let a woman drive their vehicles. They lack the sense of direction. Their job is to sit shotgun and ***** to the guy about not asking Iraqis for directions.

I'd be more concerned about your country selling Iraq weapons as recently as last month.

If everyone in Russia acted like you did, the US would wipe the floor with your pathetic rustic military.

Well, well, well.

Effectivity of Patriot SAM compex:
- 96% documentation
- 36% real war (intercepting Iraq missiles in previous war)
Real cool? And how about friend-or-foe recogntion system?

Tomahawks falling to the ground? 2 helicopters can't avoid collision even not under enemy fire? Infantry fears to enter cities?

5 days passed. Seems to be than US&UK lost comparable number of soldiers, but tech difference is really HUGE. If we divide Iraq losses by the nuber of days, we'll see that their' birth rate is more than casulaties.

Well, i'm shocked and awed by the puny powerless US&UK military.

Even in Chechen war our warriors stand to the last man, summoned artillery fire to himself because they wanted to WIN. But US&UK soldiers want to LIVE. See the difference. You are not warriors, you are chickens.

Is it time to talk about the retreat-monkeys now ?

I'm shocked and awed that the American POWs have such broad demographic appeal.

I suppose it would ruin your day to let you know that the Patriots you're talking about were from the Gulf War era, and the new ones are significantly improved (and much different).

Tomahawks falling to the ground?

Mechanical failure. Something you, as a Russian, should be completely familiar with.

2 helicopters can't avoid collision even not under enemy fire?

Pilot error isn't something you can eliminate...

Infantry fears to enter cities?

Huh? I don't know what you think is going on, but I'm seeing infantry and marines in cities (even saw live firefights on TV from marines in those cities)

There is no way in hell the US/UK lost a comparable number of soldiers to the Iraqis -- obviously you're not paying much attention to this war.

You are not warriors, you are chickens.

This is coming from the country which is crying "please don't go to war, no please don't!"?

Poor troll, they're far more effective when you're grounded in reality.

BTW:

Even in Chechen war our warriors stand to the last man, summoned artillery fire to himself because they wanted to WIN.

He summoned artillery fire to himself because he realized he's fighting for Russia.

Really, that has to be one of the stupidest things I've ever heard. And it's probably why the Russian military is so completely inept at fighting wars (and why they were too scared to fight in Iraq).

[St Leo]

Why dont they respond on Iraq torturing PoWs?

Are the PoWs being tortured? I was only aware of them being filmed.

Whats heeoic about dressing up as a civilian to avoid getting shot, relocating and then start firing.

Oh, I am sure that Yankistani minutemen never tried that...

More than ever this seems applicable, with America increasing army budgets, threatening other countries "en masse" etc etc

A sad thing, but Plato already knew more than 2000 years ago!
