"We didn't really know this until we got there. Remember the "quagmire" we would face in Baghdad? How they would defend every street?"

yes, i do. worries were that local militia would cause trouble, like in Mogadishu. even so, even if Baghdad were to have been our only real problem area, it kinda shows how worthless the Iraqi resistance would have been. anybody with the werewithal to do so can defend a city and be surprisingly successful; a measure of an army's strength is in how it battles in the open.

"Well, I sure wouldn't f%ck with a guy who beats up retarded kids"
