Prayers for our brave Marines and soldiers.

May God protect the coalition men and woman.

May God help the quick liberation of Iraq.

Very interesting. Further reading from the article...

British forces on the way to Basra were dealing with "significant numbers" of Iraqi troops who had surrendered, (UK chief of defence staff Admiral Sir Michael) Boyce said.

They had seen proof of "large-scale Iraqi capitulation, evidenced by abandoned positions and items of equipment," he added.

I'd really love to see some shots of celebrating Iraqis as soon as possible.... THAT would be a HUGE PR victory, and might just shut those idiotic protestors down for once!

This is great! We can send copies to the Rat Senators in lust for Soddomite and Chiraq.

We prefer this sign that one of our GI's had while in his CBC suit.

Fox reports that they have information that the Iraqi commander has agreed to surrender the army. I haven't seen any confirmation of that, yet.
