We went into Najaf. There was an angry mob shouting that they wouldn't let any Americans near their mosque. The Sky Guy said there's no way that we could win their hearts and minds. Then all of a sudden, our guys appeared out of nowhere. They pointed their guns, shouted at them to get down and told them all to smile. The crowd got down!!

David Bloom: PMS: His group has accomplished everything they've been given to do, and their primary mission was to engage the RG and that mission has been done by air

we're within 4 miles of Baghdad.

"U.S. Special Operations forces began operating in Baghdad Thursday as ground fighting intensified and other coalition troops battled within sight of the capital city's skyline."

I'm getting more nervous everytime they announce how close wea re.

A question for the Ladies on the thread. How come women's dress styles change so fast. Especially since E.D.'s wedding. Her dresses have gotten at least 6 inches longer it seems.

#1175 - Correction: "As we continue our movements. (by two corps)*..

I included * post-report. Final comments by BG Brooks...quick refer. to "two corps" moving toward Baghdad....'"two corps" movements' don't refer to entire paragraph.

Never mind. Coffee...

If womens styles didn't change so fast, the fashion industry would go broke.

Greg Kelly is on Fox. He is also in an area where he can't show where they are. He must be close to Baghdad.

Had to take the dog for a walk...but I heard Bob Arnot mention something, almost a throwaway line: all the fedayeen they're encountering are NOT Iraqi. They're Palestinians from Syria and Jordan.
