#1 Bush takes some unexpected swipes at Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld

If there was no dental damage, the 'swipe' was not aggressive enough.

#3 ..and was wrapped up with the magic of the concept of a "Hundred hour war". Who could push back on the media's whine about 'piling on' the 'Highway of Death' by pointing out the destruction of Falaise Gap in the Nazi retreat out of Normandy. You kill the bastards. That's war. You don't make it kinder, gentler.

#4 When the hundred hour war stopped my work buddies were cheering. I was screaming "No, no, no. When the enemy is down, you beat him silly."

I knew that we would be back sooner or later.

All we did was beat up on the jayvee team; the Republican Guard had pretty much already crossed back into Iraq and was heading for Baghdad.

As for rest, it wasn't "war." It was an achievement of a strictly defined objective established among a relatively shaky coalition; one that was already fraying by the time the Iraqis began leaving Kuwait.

Somebody like OldSpook could probably tell you more about the aftermath in Iraq.
