part of the plan??
I thought of that. Could we be so lucky that they would be stupid enough to try a counter-attack. This is somewhat validated by misinformation reports that we are short of supplies. Imbedded media seems to contradict this.
The only possible downside of the slowdown might be the ability of Iraq irregulars to better position mortars etc against fixed positions but I imagine we can handle that from the air if the weather is okay.
