I heard an interview with a soldier on the radio saying that the war was not going the way they had been told it would. On another station (NPR) a reporter claimed that the government had embedded the news media in with troops expecting that it would all be over in a few days and the news people would be there to document it. That is not happening and there is a bit of stress between the men in charge and the newsmen. Censorship is rearing its ugly head.

Also heard an interview with the family of a soldier killed in battle. His mother and family were saying that he died a hero. His father, a Viet Nam vet, was angry, bitter, and saying that this entire war was unnecessary.

I said this in another thread. The US was counting on speed. The Iraqis know it and will drag the conflict out as long as possible in the hopes that public support will fail and Bush will have no choice but to withdraw. 30 days? we will see. I hope he is right.
