You asked the question "As initially reported by who?" in reference to
"The ground war was in fact won in 3 weeks because at that point no organized military forces such as the Airforce...Navy and Army was resisting...no uniformed military forces existed at this point and the US military had military control over the country of Iraq."
It was in fact General Tommy Franks that reported to the Secretary of Defense and to the President that major combat operations were over and the Iraqi Military had was defeated. FYI it was also General Tommy Franks that recommended to the President that he announce this fact to the Nation...I do not know if he recommended that it be done from the deck of an Aircraft Carrier...I doubt it. This information is from General Franks own mouth during a recent interview that was aired by the media.

King... does it matter if Franks said what and when on the deck of an aircraft carrier, in some "boardroom" or bunker?
The problem is not with Franks - the problem is the fundamentals or all "words" spoken by whoever have absolutely no credibiity and cannot be relied upon.
This is a common factor in almost all aspects of "annoucements to the public"and in dealings with foreign governments - nada credibility.
That is the reason there is no help coming to the US - It's a matter of clean up your own shit, then we may talk.
