Excuse me, but why does everyone think the war plan has gone awry? Because the press says it has? Because some retired Officers, who are paid to help boost a networks ratings, say it has?

Seems to me that it is going very well indeed! We are now within 25 miles (or 19 if you watch/read FOX) of Baghdad. We have completely destroyed a Republican Guard Division (The Baghdad Division) and mangled to others two the extent that they are only 50% effective. We have minimized Saddam's Feydaheen. The British are on the verge of capturing Basria. The Kurds fought a big battle with the Iraqis last night and kicked their butts. They also took out a terrorist militia in the north that has ties to Al Quida, maybe Saddam as well, and possibly had a chemical weapons plant. No Iraqi missiles have been fired at Isreal. The oil fields have been siezed with minimal lose of life and damage to the environment.

Explain to me why the battle plan isn't working again? Did everyone think this was going to be over in a week?

Also don't forget that this was all done without one key piece unit, the 4th ID.
Franks has done a great job in my opinion!
