The country of Iraq may not be secure for years to come, if ever. "
Many people are saying the resistance is much more than they expected. Just showing links so you don't think I'm sitting here writing this stuff up as we speak.

I do not think that you are making anything up. I saw a live interview of the Journalist involved in that engagement. The media use to many adjectives and exploitation when presenting stories.
Resistance has been light. There have not been any major battles. The proof of this is the lack of serious numbers of coalition casualties. Just as in the 1st Gulf War up to this point in time accidental deaths exceed those of KIA's. There were more people killed by accidents during the build up in Desert Shield then were killed in Desert Storm. The Iraqi's are like bees stinging the tail of the beast and the beast is driving on to Baghdad slightyly ahead of schedule. At this point in time all is well.
