I have found it interesting that the news coming out from western Iraq has been noticeably absent. If we took those airfields in the first few days, it would make sense to start using them to bring in a lot of men and equipment. Just speculation though.

I have found it interesting that the news coming out from western Iraq has been noticeably absent.

Sir SuziQ and I were watching FoxNews last night and they were talking about these 'thousands' of Iraqis who are in Jordan but getting on buses to return to fight against the Coalition. Has anyone heard anything else about these folks? Methinks they may get waylaid out in the Western Desert and end up cooling their heels in one of Sadaam's 'hospitality houses' out that way.

That area is crawling with Special forces; no way those folks are going to make it to Baghdad, especially with the refueling station gone.
