Matthew Yglesias wonders if all the "Shock and Awe" strategy talk was just misinformation before the war.

I wondered this myself. One of the sad things about the news coverage so far, particularly the TV coverage I saw last night, was that most of the announcers seemed disappointed that there wasn't a massive aerial bombardment last night. Some of them looked positively crestfallen staring at boring shots of Baghdad with nothing going on.

They looked like kids who had shown up for a fireworks display, only to find out it was postponed or cancelled.
