From Meet The Press/AmericanPolitics.Com:

Rummy insisted the goal of the military campaign is regime change (yeah, right -- as if all those oil wells didn't matter), and Gen. Franks is seeking to do it with "minimum loss of life." (Looks like that's another talking point: "minimum loss of American life.") Rummy then "corrected" Tim when he talked about "bombing Baghdad" on Friday -- they were hitting "greater Baghdad," not the city itself, and "Saddam's regime" is ablaze (well, the fact is that Saddam's headquarters are in Baghdad on the Tigris River). Tim then showed footage of a senior Iraqi general briefing the press from Iraqi TV broadcast Friday as massive explosions went off in the background -- then chastised Rummy for not taking out the Iraqi defense ministry! Rummy looked peeved and replied with a terse, "So what?"

So what? SO WHAT? So you claimed you were out to decapitate Saddam's regime, numbnuts! Including his military headquarters would be, well, a prudent move in the decapitation of Saddam's regime.

Pictures of those who Bush's failed diplomacy has doomed: American EPWs. God help them.

After 48+ hours of watching the live war, what struck me most is the capture of 5 to 10 Americans in an ambush near Nasirya.

How will they be treated? Remember that we are talking about a "doomed regime," which basically means we're going to kill them or put them on trial and then execute them. They have nothing to lose. It should have been clear to miliary commanders that any American EPWs would be tortured and killed. Were our soldiers made aware of this?

Probably not. I suspect most of the soldiers in Kuwait/Iraq were getting briefings about the "coalition" they are part of, and they probably believe that the world is behind them. What a rude awakening they will have when they return- IF they return.
