Sky reporting control as "tentative." Better start bringing in the 101st.

As reported on live feed: Airfields claimed to be named H2 and H3. Washington says control is "tentative" because there may be scud missles there.

Looks like a little "Foreplay" was brought about on the command centers and support centers of this Iraqi Airport.

Thanks for the picture.
