 Bush Meets War Council, Says War May Be Difficult WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush reviewed the latest reports of fighting along the Iraqi frontlines on Saturday and warned Americans the war could be "longer and more difficult" than some thought. As U.S.-led forces rolled toward Baghdad, Bush convened his war council at the Camp David presidential retreat in rural Maryland and vowed to use "decisive force" to bring down the regime of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, whose fate was unclear after a Wednesday night missile strike. Bush also spoke by telephone with Prime Minister Tony Blair, who ordered British troops into action as part of the U.S.-led coalition. They discussed "progress of the war" and efforts to provide humanitarian assistance to the Iraqi people, White House spokeswoman Ashley Snee said.

RTE news reporter says that the amount of time necessary to gain terrority with only a southern attack will leave the refugees outside for too long. And he didn't seem them leave with any tents or luggage (those silly Iraqis, if only they were whiter and thus cleverer!).
I wonder did the RTE reporter come up with that bit of strategic brilliance himself....
