You're thinking on the high tech side. You really don't need much to conduct effective urban warfare except rifles, a few granades and a civilian population to use as shields. Ain't rocket science here, my friend.

Okay, imagine hundreds of Columbine High Schools except instead of a couple kids with rifles, now ya have a hundred or so in an apartment building and ya' have two choices: use you WMD in the apartment building or try to remove the bad guys surgically. The first option is tried and true but the PR is real lousy. The second option is lots of civilians killed and lots of body bags coming home in the C-5.

And now we learn that Bush doesn't even want advice from too many military people but has talked tactics with Newt Gingrich. Hmmmmmmm?

Bad enough going into a war that could be avoided but even worse with poor planning and no end game vision except setting up a "democracy" in a country where we should be more concerned about the folks from the north taking their ounce of revenge.

Heck, we don't hardly have democracy here at home for that matter...

Nevermind...
