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.

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.

Horrendous.
Yes, indeed. But that won't stop the wankers from continuing to use it!
I must also admit to be envious of the fact that they are making history while I sit in comfort here at home observing it.
God bless America and it's warrior disciples.
The Psalm say God puts our tears in a bottle - and we know that God has heard the cries and seen the tears of the people of Iraq victimized by their OPPRESSOR, Saddam Hussein and his thugs.
President George W. Bush and America have been God's instrument of liberation releasing the answers to the cries of these people and, yes, releasing all those tears which these people have shed as they have watched loved ones murdered, tortured, and mutilated before their eyes.
God has heard their cries, seen their tears, set them free! But only because He has HIS MAN in the office of the American Presidency. If nothing else happens under the Servant of God, President George W. Bush, he must always be remembered as the instrument in God's hands of bringing this great thing known as FREEDOM to so many! (the socialists/communists/Democrats most hated word!)
(2001)Monumental ego: a model of Saddam's planned mosque. It will be the world's largest. Currently under construction. Total estimated cost exceeds One Billion dollars. The model itself fills a large meeting room at an estimated cost of $500,000.00. French architect, Jacques Barriere, has been commissioned to design the structure, which will cover an area near Baghdad the size of 12 football pitches. It will be surrounded by a moat in which the crowning touch will be an island formed in the shape of Saddam's thumb, with the ground contoured exactly to match the leader's fingerprint. "It is so that when God looks down on this mosque he will see Saddam too," said Soler.
Yep. Those sanctions on Iraq are surely hurting Iraqi children. They couldn't be the pawns of a brutal regime. < /sarcasm >
