Rumsfield compares Iraq operations to back home; 4th ID 3 weeks away
'Asked whether the Saddam fedayeen - groups of irregular soldiers fanatically loyal to the Iraqi leader - had been harassing the supply lines, Mr Rumsfeld conceded that they had, but added: "These are ones and twos, and that you're going to live with, like we lived with in Afghanistan. We live with [it] in some major cities in the United States."' Now that's an omen for the future of life in the United States...

'Defence officials said it would probably be three weeks before 35 ships containing the equipment of the 4th Infantry Division - now sailing from the Mediterranean, through the Suez Canal and Red Sea - would be unloaded in Kuwait.'
