T minus 48 hours (from 8:00 PM last night) until we take the gloves off. Kind of disturbing really. I mean the whole idea of fighting a war this way is really alien to me. We were always taught that force protection and not letting anyone know who what where or when were very important. I mean as it sits now you can go in any major news outlet's web site and get an order of battle for our forces, locations, key officers. It's insane from an intelligence perspective.
Another thing that bothered me was what some of the talking heads had to say about the coming conflict. They had a retired general on NBC right after his speech who didn't think that the coming battle was any big deal. He though that we would just sweep right through Iraq and be done with it. Guess he never went on a patrol in a city. Don't misconstrue this to mean that I am against this action completely. I have some issues with it (most notably that no war is being declared, and I don't think that congress has the constitutional ability to hand off that responsibility to the president). However now that we are there, now that the decision has been made, we need to stop debating this as a country and support our troops. BTW how has the commute been this morning for all the DC members? All the roads around here are closed down for the moron on the tractor at the mall. I just wonder why they haven't tazed the kid and pulled him off the tractor.
