FN: Ollie - Moved 5 times in the last 24 (or 27?) hours...troops are ready to go...all the way to Baghdad...on the banks of the Tigris, our guys (air attacks) hit (Medina RG) ammo. supply...

Ollie says they're finding, "almost all along the way", young men pointing out weapons, etc. - they just want to go home and get rid of Saddam. They want to help us!

"The dagger is clearly pointed at the heart of the regime now." Maj. Gen. Vincent Brooks

I thought Gen. Brooks was a Brigadere General. Did he get promoted for surviving 5 press conferences without killing a single reporter with his bare hands?

Well it looks like the message is finally getting thru to the Iraqi people that we are there till Saddam's ashes are scattered in the Tigris.

Sounds like we have the assist of mega gallons of the "petroleum jelly" of popular good-will, once we establish, and now have established that we are there for a total takedown. In other words, our drive into Baghdad is greased all the way. -- with only a few hairballs resisting. Hooray!
