All the advance has actually taken place in empty deserts
No cities have been captured yet (except maybe Umm Qasr)
Iraqi shepherd can take a rifle suddenly and kill you

Unless regime surrenders, the final battles will take place in bagdad
Bagdad is a huge city with hundreds of thousands of buildings
Snipers can hide anywhere

Are you familiar with the meaning of density in warfare?
Bagdad is a nigthmare to invade

So unless the regime surrenders, it's gonna be a stalemate in Bagdad

I read a lot of Arab interviews, not because I wanna suck in their propaganda, but because I wanna hear how the Saudi analysts, princes, Egyptian professors, Jordan average Mohammed's feel and what they think

So far I have concluded that Saddam is becoming a hero. Not many people liked him. Now it seems that even some of his goddamn opposition people are starting to appreciate him? Why? Arab feel extremely united when being aggressed from Western countries. Or Israel.. And in Iraq people are nationalist

How will that effect war?

America is dependent on Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar supply and support. Can those governments handle their people? Who are really angry. Will we see terrorist attacks at US supply?

Us supply lines are already strecthed
Low ammo, food water, fuel is slowing the advance.

Even if USA succeeds (I mean it when it does), it's gonna face a lot trouble for a long long time. Uprising, arab hatred.. It's an occupation. Occupy a country as large as Iraq. A bit more difficult than Afghanistan. You need a lot of men
