Bump for day 14.
MSNBC's Bob Arnot reported live (and very excitedly) that the Marines have crossed the Tigris river and bypassed Al Kut. They put heavy artillery fire on the Republican Guard nearby last night and are heading for Baghdad. The commanding general said the USMC took Iwo Jima and that Baghdad ain't S.H.I... Very pumped up. Iraqis were friendly and pointed out the Baathists.
