There can’t be anything more demoralising than losing your leader. In a military sense one leader has all the armies hope’s resting on him. Once he is down you’ve pretty much got an aimless rabble. Remember that scene in El Cid where the hero’s corpse is put on a horse to rally the troops? They knew the importance of visibility. Or Easter?

Perhaps, just perhaps this war is already won and we don’t know it. To have a street fight everybody has to be in the street, that includes both sides. OK we are stuck in the streets but so are you… who’s nerve is going to hold? Now would be a good time to dangle morsels of what comes with the coalition in front of the Iraqi’s. Peace and quiet would be a good one.

12 hours on 12 hours off? Im too old for that now =)

Piff is OK. He sent a letter saying he is not coming out because “it is too noisy out there.”

On a personal note what you read is me, complete with flaws. But where are the hailstones I was expecting? Aren’t they reserved for wars? Or are they not needed heehee.
