looking bleak

WASHINGTON, March 25 — The nation's top military officer acknowledged today that the Pentagon's strategy to crack the Iraqi regime quickly with a huge early airstrike had not worked exactly as planned, but he warned "there was more to come."

So far in four days of bombing, the United States and Britain have attacked Iraqi air defenses, communication centers, leadership headquarters and other military targets with more than 600 cruise missiles and thousands of bombs.

Despite these attacks, broadcasts of Saddam Hussein continue to appear on state-run Iraqi television, his regime is still appears able to issue orders to its generals in the field, and there are no immediate signs of the mass surrenders or defections that many American officials had hoped for.
