Months-WPStory 9243 (H/, G/DEF, G/USG, N/DJN, N/DJRT, N/DJWR, N/CMD, N/DJWI, 
N/GEN...)  NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--Some senior U.S. military officers are 
now convinced that the Iraq war will last months and will require 
considerably more combat power than is now on hand there and in Kuwait, The 
Washington Post reported on its Web site Wednesday.   The weather, 
the long and insecure supply lines, and an enemy that refuses to give up has 
led to a broad reassessment of U.S. military expectations and timelines by 
some top generals, the report said.   Some generals even see the 
potential threat of a drawn-out fight that sucks in more U.S. forces, the 
report said.   The report also quoted another unnamed senior general 
who dismissed this assessment as too pessimistic. He said that, in the short 
term, the pessimists will look right,  but they will be proven wrong by 
mid-April. "Within a week to 10 days, we will find out about the mettle of 
the Republican Guard," the general was quoted as saying.
