Where has this holding back actually occured, exactly?

It seems to me there has been a constant power projection towards Baghdad, in what is, the quickest maneuver warfare in history.

Update for Paitikis: The airport has been in American hands for about three days now. It was the base for Saturday's incursion into Baghdad. The journalists who were going to be taken to "see the airport" weren't taken. There never was a successful counterattack in which they were pushed back.

And Basra has been taken (the Brits are reluctant to use the word "secured", but I think "taken" is reasonable), and the Americans are still in central Baghdad, occupying at least one Presidential palace (unless they've pulled out in the last hour or so).

Ming, you can't honestly expect me not to make fun of somebody who trusts Russian and Iraqi news reports? He talked about a three day war, something nobody in America had ever mentioned, and I get chewed out for making fun of him? He's so full of it, his eyes are brown.

If mincing little trolls are a protected species at this site, feel free to ban me. He's done nothing but post lies and slander this entire thread.

considering not only the deplorable state of iraq's army as well as your own bold (and proven false) pretentions, this hs got to be one of the worse wars the US has ever fought...and in big cost for civilian life...
let's see what comes next

LOL... arguing with you is futile since you're already proven you dont know anything but your own propaganda

US troops have been kicked in the behind, had to replan their whole operations, need to bring in more troops, and all that to a populace that was supposed to greet them with flowers...


sorry but you are simply funny

when did this replanning happen, exactly?

they simply haven't needed extra troops; the 4th ID isn't deployed yet, and already had deployment issues through Turkey... no extra troops have been required...

as for the flowers? would have been nice... but they brought guns and bombs, and planned to kill the republican guard, anyway...

[Bereta_Eder]

then he should ban you felch unless you're considerd untouchable and that you can say whatever insult you feel like....

[Bereta_Eder]

rescheduled plans, false political estimates about population reaction... civilian losses...bringing in more troops, altering speeches about a quick resolution to the war...


if this is a success for you (especially if the dismembered children in the shospitals are a success to you) then yes you are succesful...

[Felch]

I simply feel that ridiculous people should be ridiculed. I told him that I have no problem with a banning. I just refuse to tolerate somebody clowning around and spaming nonsense in a serious thread.

The US Media reports both American victories and setbacks in the war. Helicopter collapses, casulties, and other problems all recieve heavy coverage. We also repeat what the Iraqi information minister is claiming. The US media was very critical of our military effort. after the first week when it was seen the war would be alot longer then we thought it would. To compare our media to the media in third world countries like Iraq and Russia is a joke.

[Bereta_Eder]

Felch, then you should look in the mirror.

if someone's pretty ridiculous is you (andmany others)


so if u feel the urge go right ahead and speak to the glass.

the only truth in the above is simply the recognition that US troops have been kicked harder in the behind that they ever imagined...


keep it up and you may actually stand a chance in fair correspontance.

although you certaintly fall in a similar category as iraq in what concerns accuracy of information or propaganda....

Attack his lies and slander than... not the poster.
Everybody is welcome to their opinions, even if they may be wrong

[Bereta_Eder]

im sure felch and many other americans would change opinions in a week of receiving true and unbiased news.

of course in order to do that, they need to be in a country that is not at war.

Paitikis, why do you keep mentioning children in hospitals?

Yes, there are children in hospitals. And, yes, they're on TV too, so where's the censorship there?

Are they more important because they're on TV? Thousands of victims of Saddam's regime are murdered in his prisons on a regular basis, but they're not on TV. Does this help you to pretend that they do not exist?

[Bereta_Eder]

LOL... other regimes (incuding some of your allies) in the region are far mroe brutal.


But what you;re saying is: Sadam kills people too, so yeah we kill children (lots of them) but Sadam does it too.



nice reasoning
true too...
