There is nothing really new about the strategy (pretty much classic) and I am also aware that there are risks involved in any military plan/action. This campaign is going as planned and is slightly ahead of schedule and there is not any reason for alarm at this point in time. So far we have been being reasonable with the amount of force we have applied. If any serious problems develop, our forces can increase the use of force and Iraqi forces do not have the ability to do this, period. All is going well.

All along this road they?ve been encountering similar attacks by militia loyal to Saddam who are taking it upon themselves to fight. Bands of Iraqis are resisting, and there are casualties.
