Well, I'm back here after a weekend

Raubvogel, I wish you were right, I could get damn rich

Last things I heard on the radio before leaving home was the Echo of Moscow radio special correspondent saying he sees American tanks and soldiers in nazi-like helmets on the other side of Tigris. That guy is really brave.
I wonder how the things are really going. So far Iraqi officials showed foreign reporters burnt down American tanks and BMPs.
My opinoin is simple: it will be a siege, or a disaster like New Year 1995 in Grozniy.

Or, more likely, a full-scale Stalingrad/Berlin scenario.
Tanks in a city... Poor tankers

some rags and blankets wet with gasoline dropped on an engine compartment from the second floor - and that's all...
Dozens of RPGs at point-blank... Land mines... Anti-tank "hedgehogs" blocking the retreat under a "dagger" machinegun fire...
It all depends on how desperate the people are.
