Reuters, as usual, is swallowing whole the Iraqi delusions. They've been insisting for days now that US forces will be drawn into an impossible position in Baghdad. And of course they're not reporting the "uprisings" Fox has noted. With the pace of news, I expect this latest Reuters lie will be exposed in mere hours.

I am watching Fox right now. They have seriously downgraded the "uprising" story. being first with an incorrect story is not something to be proud of.
Embedded reporters with our own forces are reporting heavy artillery fire from the Iraqis. I think it won't be so bad, but it is clear Rueters is perfectly accurate in the story. What is it about the story you find wrong? Or, as is likley, you didn't read it because of your own bias?

they are quoting a US Army Colonel:
"There's still fighting going on," Lieutenant Colonel Peter Bayer, operations officer for the 3rd Infantry Division. "The fact that Iraqi forces are still fighting against U.S. forces shows that there is still some work to do."

Those damn pink-o commies at Reuters!! We all know that fox news is totally honest and devoid of propaganda. Not every Iraqi will be happy with American occupation, some are bound to fight back. So there's bound to be some urban warfare .even if it's lame.

Again, the Iraqi fighers are doing what we want, reacting to what we do. Every time they use artillery, they reveal its position to our counterbattery radar and global hawks, and we take it out.

So far, their urban fighters are getting slaughtered in a grotesquely one-sided exchange ratio that has only slightly worsened (for the Coalition) since entering Baghdad, as far as we can tell.

They can't push us out of Baghdad, that is very clear. They are, essentially, playing for the cheap seats, hoping the global media can create a shift of world opinion leading to irresistible demands for a cease-fire and negotiated conclusion. Glad to see Reuters shouldering its load in the Iraqi regime's strategy.

They sent out the invitatations to a "street fighting " party, but only the coalition showed up. I would just as soon deal with any martyrs now as in a few days. Turn out the lights, the parties over...
