U.S. troops pushed to within 10 km (six miles) of the southern edge of Baghdad on Thursday, and were preparing to fight for control of the city's airport, U.S. officials said. Elements of four elite Iraqi Republican Guard Divisions were reported to be moving south to defend the city, but U.S. officials reported no direct engagement with the Iraqi troops.

Doctors supporting U.S. Marine combat operations in Iraq had to brush up their child delivery skills on Wednesday when a young Iraqi woman, Jamila Katham, was brought to their base and gave birth to a six-pound baby girl, U.S. Marine surgeons said. The baby, Katham's first child, has been named Rogenia. The mother and child, both said to be doing well, were given food, water and bandages and were later driven home in a U.S. military ambulance.

The day will be better when the proud (and newly liberated) folks over there get the rats out of their cabinets, and have one H*** of a party!

A heckuva party that will be! If they're happy now, just wait until they are completely liberated. It might just be a month long celebration if not longer.

This is at least the third warehouse I've heard of. There were great stashes of food at the Baghdad airport also, and one other place, besides this one. Absolutely criminal, a crime against humanity.
