#1 Watch media biassholes find another excuse to report Coalition troops being "bogged down" by "Iraqi people" who have proven they are "willing to fight." Battles such as have been fought in the south of Iraq, are ENCIRCLEMENT battles, or tactical contests. How has the Coalition done in the strategic contest? They pacified the southern oil installation area within 2 days. They encircled every southern and middle Iraq city within 4 days. They approached Baghdad within 4 days. They began prepping for a final assault on Baghdad, within 5 days. I believe that the strategic objectives were achieved with only 4 Coalition casualties. Tactical assault casualties are relatively small, and most are attributable to mistakes. As for the encirclements, Hitlers Wehrmacht was still fighting these as his army reached Moscow. And Allied troops indulged German occupation of channel ports throughout WW2. The Japs were also allowed to sit it out in the Aleutians.

I will admit that the falsehoods reported by Western journalists are not intention untruths. Most of these dim-bulbs have no military background, and regurgitate cliche analysis.
