Why is Bagdad falling so easily while Nasiryah and Basra are not yet 100% in coalition control?
That's what I was thinking. Seems I recall the military did a psychological profile on Saddam that indicated he had a "doomsday" type personality. If he senses he going to go down, his intent would be to go with a bang and take as many with him as possible. With luck, though, he is on life support somewhere and his next tier of command does not quite share that degree of conviction.

Basra are not yet 100% in coalition control? I read on another post that Basra will surrender if Bhagdad
falls. From the high ranking Iraqi, via note, to the
British....

Are we all on the east coast? I'm in Connecticut.
I'm afraid I'm the first east coaster to have to wimp out and call it a "night" (early morning?). Yikes, it's almost 4AM!
I need to be (somewhat) rested for our pro-troops rally tomorrow in Hartford with FReeper extraordinaire RaceBannon.
Good night all! :-)

What are we seeing in the CBS feed you put up and how far away are our troops from that spot?

It's the hotel in Baghdad where all the press stays. It's what they call downtown Baghdad.

Nighty night... I'm falling asleep, myself. The Fedayien ( sp ? ) are roaming the streets of Baghdad now... just reported; but they're going to have to be killed ( mowed down ), by our side, without me.

The Al Razid, or something like that? Near the Tigris? I'm looking on Baghdad maps for that round-about street in front of the camera.

Patton would LOVE these guys in the 3rd Infantry! Yup, he'd be proud of the work they've done in Baghdad!
