Telegraph | Opinion | Saddam's utter collapse shows this has not been a real war by John Keegan (Hat Tip: Andy)
Keegan is impressed with the Coalition advance...and not so impressed with the Iraqi strategy.
[...]Because the war has taken such a strange form, the media, particularly those at home, may be forgiven for their misinterpretation of how it has progressed. Checks have been described as defeats, minor firefights as major battles. In truth, there has been almost no check to the unimpeded onrush of the coalition, particularly the dramatic American advance to Baghdad; nor have there been any major battles. This has been a collapse, not a war.[...]
Fame at last ;)
