Note:- This is a military not political thread
For the coalition forces to be fighting in the area of Baghdad airport within 2 weeks of the start of the war has surely been the results of brilliant military tactics and flexibility. Capturing every bridge they needed from Kuwait to the outskirts of Baghdad. Isolating the Iraqi army by destroying their fighting capabilities (tanks and trucks ect) and leaving them pinned down while the main thrust continues. Is any one else as pleasantly stunned by the progress of the coalition as I am?
My only concern is that because of incredible (uncredible) media pressure for instant results they may be biting off more than the can chew regards Baghdad
Quote from the BBC "Despite the government denial of coalition forces being near Baghdad, Iraqi officials reportedly told Reuters they had captured five US tanks and downed a helicopter during fighting near the airport, and promised to broadcast video on TV shortly."
Slow down guys time is on our side, lets not blow it now
