Yes, very much so. According to NPR this morning, interestingly enough, Baghdad is _not_ being fortified.

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. > That's my nightmare scenario.

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. Gautam __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
