Well, CNN's senior Pentagon correspondent Jamie McIntyre, said it probably was plain old fear within the iraqi forces along with weak commanders, which made them balk at going into battle against fellow iraqis employing "guerilla" tactics (in the military science term - I wouldn't dare call them anything else than the Pentagon officially approved "insurgents" or "terrorists" labels). He also reported on US commanders who were very disappointed. I guess the Iraqis don't have any word for Quislings down there .. ? (ironic) When a US commander says they will "kill .. or capture" Al Sadr, CNN says "capture or kill" in the news crawl. Well, according to Discovery channel, "Behind closed doors" and other popular shows - there are no better soldiers than the US soldiers on this earth. It was sure good for a few laughs watching them in the snow, though.
