Two Big "Oh Shits"

Buried in wire dispatches.

Oh Shit #1: The military can't keep the roads open. Roads important; trucks and tanks on roads bring food and water and guns and bullets. No can use roads? Oh shit.

Oh Shit #2: The "cream" of the new Iraqi security forces won't fight, partly because they claim that they are outgunned. This bad, this very not good. ARVN--I mean Iraqi Army no fight? Oh shit.
