Israeli military experts assess how the war is going

Former Chief of Staff Amnon Lipkin Shahak, and Major Generals (res.) Yossi Peled and Ilan Biran, Brigadier General (res.) Avigdor Kahalani and Professor Martin van Creveld comment on the Iraq war. They seem to be most impressed with the fact that we have kept our battle plan so secret even these seasoned experts can't figure out what it is.

The Israelis are right. The Americans are way ahead of the game. Only two things matter at this stage:

1) The bridges - perhaps because they expected a long air campaign first, or special forces cut a lot of wires, the Iraqis weren't able to blow them despite having them wired for demolition. Huge win for the Allies.

2) The Oil fields. A terrible ecological catastrophe averted. For similar reasons.

Two for two. You'd hardly believe these same people brought you the Space Shuttle. (Sorry, cheap shot.)
