Guest #26 March 19, 2003 Quote I suspect that the early days of the war won't be too bad, but once the troops get into the street fighting of Bagdad, shit is going to hit the fan. And don't forget Stalingrad during WWII. Of all the scenarios, a Stalingrad-like fight in Baghdad is the most feared, I think. It's also the most likely. Fortunately the Brits and a lot of US troops have been training for urban warfare for some time. According to the latest reports from casual observers in Baghdad, little preparation for urban battle is currently being made, even though some of Saddam's assets have been dispersed into urban areas. Word is that Baghdad is becoming a ghost town: "Many Iraqi troops have been ordered to disperse to residential areas, along with their tanks and other equipment. This presents some unpleasant prospects. While many of these Iraqi troops can be induced to surrender, and American leaflets and radio broadcasts in southern Iraq have been warning civilians to flee if the military set up shop next to their homes, some Iraqis will fight. Apparently, the policy will be to attack Iraqi troops sitting in villages. As the word gets around, this tactic would quickly be unpopular and Iraqi troops wanting to fight would find less visible positions.""The mouse does not know life until it is in the mouth of the cat."
