A half measure before no half measures?

I know I keep harping on this, but it is of great concern to me. We have now fired off a few of Tomahawks at "Iraqi leadership," which in and of itself is not a bad thing. But it doesn't appear that we are following it up. The "shock and awe" has turned for me to just shock (and hopefully for the Iraqis, too).

I hope that the ground troops are rolling. We are twisting the tail of a chemical/biological tiger. We have the tools to control and defeat the Iraqi Army, but until we move, we keep uping the risk on the ground pounders. I'd be thrilled to see Basra liberated by the time I get up in the morning, because it means that we're finally moving and reducing the risk for the men.

QUICK UPDATE BEFORE I EVEN POST THIS!

Just saw Ollie North interviewing a soldier on FOX News. Guess we're still sitting. We had retaken the initiative; we had tactical surprise. I'd like to know why we're seemingly giving the initiative back to them, possbily until tomorrow night.

Bush promised no half measures. If we don't get the "awe" part of this thing going pretty soon I'm going to be hardpressed to believe that this wasn't a half measure.
