Well Rush predicts that our actual entrance into Baghdad will go very easily. "Based entirely on what I perceive the Iraqi strategery to be, I think that when the battle of Baghdad starts, it is going to be quick and clean.
"How can you say that with the Republican Guard dug in?" Folks, they won't be there by the time we fight for Baghdad. I came to this conclusion late Thursday night. Earlier this week, I said that it would be nice if the Republican Guard - who are currently hiding behind women and children in Baghdad - would come out to face us so we could crush them. Now they're doing it! Saddam is breaking up the Republican Guard; he's sending them out to try to inflict as many casualties on us as he can.
They're not trying to defeat us because they know they can't. They're trying to inflict as many casualties on us as they can and to be as barbaric as they can because they think we'll cut and run à la Mogadishu. So I think by the time we make our move into Baghdad, the Republican Guard is going to have been pummeled."
So there you have it, nothing to worry about.
The truth is, it is a potential future. I don't think it's the most likely future, but it is definately possible. On the other hand, as Salon has documented, administration forces have been spinning such happy-go-lucy scenarios for a number of months, although of course they now want to pretend that they never did.
