While it is obvious the coalition forces have seen some serious firefights, it is equally obvious that none of them faced what would have been considered a real army (thousands of men charging) in an older war. And now, we are seeing a whole lot of nobody out there lately.

Did we really cream them from the air before the ground forces showed up? Did they all run? If so, where? Back home, pretending to be a farmer? Back home, thanking Allah that he can BE a farmer again? Underground? Across a border? Wouldn't our spyplanes see such things?

Tikrit looks like a ghost town from space. Rumor has it that the Baath bigwigs are sipping Mai Tais by the beach in Syria.

I'm beginning to suspect that the Iraqi military is falling into the same category as the Giant Floating Head of Oz.
