#1 "Too much psychology here, and not enough air support..."

Yup. Is Franks trying to wage a war against cavemen, frightening them into submission with our great armored boomsticks? Because when it comes to fear and subjugation, the Ba'ath have us beat hollow, and it's difficult to desert your unit with fedayeen guarding the door.

So, to repeat an oft-voiced question on these pages, "Why is Iraqi TV still broadcasting?"

#2 Iraqi TV is broadcasting because its facilities are housed directly in a childrens hospital.

Its ok, both the hospital and the TV station will be under new management in about 5 days by my guess.

#3 It was my understanding that we could have pirated "Saddam TV" broadcasting capabilities whenever we chose and replaced it with more "wholesome" programming. It may be useful for the transition to Free Iraq... Wonder how many stations a pair of rabbit ears picks up in "south Central B-town?

#5 They should hijack Iraqi TV and make it "All Porn, All The Time". By the time they snap out of it, we'll be eating lunch on the steps of Baghdad City Hall.
