Yes, very much so.  According to NPR this morning,
interestingly enough, Baghdad is _not_ being
fortified.  I don't quite know what to make of that.

Not quite :-).  Precision Guided Munitions, sorry.  I
just know that there's been a lot of thought about how
to use close air support in an urban setting.  I don't
know much in the way of details, just that some of the
USAF hard-core guys are all enthused at the concept.

It's one of mine, but not the worst.  The urban
fighting they seem to have something of a handle on,
at least conceptually.  _My_ nightmare scenario is
that as US troops get close to Baghdad, Saddam
releases VX on the population and proclaims that we
did.  Or even smallpox.
