current state of the iraqi conflict

[Quinn]

well after almost a week of quick progress, the coalition forces are getting slowed down by heavier defences and aggressive iraqi troops. the coalition is apparently moving around the dug-in iraqi army, heading for baghdad in an effort to oust the country's leaders and force the military to capitulate. but will it be that simple? baghdad has five million citizens. will the "liberators" easily get to hussein, or will they have to tear down every building in the process? if they do, the battle will rapidly turn into a second stalingrad. back then it was the russian winter that stopped the attackers advance, this time it may well be the iraqi summer. originally a lot of people thought this would be over in a few days or weeks. could we be looking at another vietnam?
