Pretty good for a starving, thirsty, un-prepared force on a stand down.

Sounds like this one's nearly over. US troops able to fly anything they need into within 12 miles of the enemy capital is the point at which most folks would do the French thing and give up.

This Reuter's report was called premature by FOX. Latest report is that the airport is being defended by dug in elements of 4 regular army divisions. The fight for control of the airport continues, as of a few minutes ago.

Knight Ridder or Reuters...I don't know who's quoting who, but according to Major Garrett at the Pentagon, it's not true.....yet.
