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.

No one loves children more than U.S. GI's....

[goodnesswins]

"How many other countries are starving with UN food held in warehouses?"......I'd say North Korea WAS, for one.....you know....the leftists might start to get really, really quiet now. What CAN they say?

[McGavin999]

The UN had better be getting ready for some serious questions. This failure on their part is unforgivable.

[mabelkitty]

I bet it's all of the above, plus things we've never heard of before.

[AngryJawa]

"Can we expect to see Petah Arnetthead standing outside the warehouse holding a sign ... 'U.S. Confiscates Food Meant for the Iraqi People'...? He is so despicable!"

Has anyone heard from that rat ba$tard Arnett today? I'm all ears, Peter...

[My2Cents]

Probably right. Actually, I thought it might have referred to the fact that the Smith was at the right side of the photo.

[xJones]

Re your #40, no wonder the French have been screaming so loud, they were embedded with that monster all along. Honor, French dignity - feh!

[cinFLA]

This, plus the children in jail, is the most despicable thing I've ever seen. I hope every single liberal is asked about this.

Scott Ritter said in an interview with Time that he went into these jails but wouldn't tell how bad it really was since it would give fuel to those that wanted war (2002)

bump

[Howlin]

So Ritter just didn't do anything about it?

Put him on the list, too.

[janetgreen]

Great story and pictures. Thanks for posting this.

I've cried more the last 3 weeks than the last 3 yrs. Mostly tears of joy and compassion but also sorrow at the cost. God Bless America and our soldiers.

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Yes, amen, me too! (will update our Targeted Prayer thread later today. Mostly prayers of Thanksgiving today - but also continued intercession for our troops and the British troops who are still in harm's way! Also, continued prayers for the enemy to be EXPOSED and ROUTED! (We are seeing routed. We can continue to pray for the "exposing" part too). :-)

[Eowyn-of-Rohan]

It's a BEAUTIFUL thing!

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

It surely is. So much also for the "oil for food" program. We know it was truly "oil for Saddam's bank accounts" and "oil for weapons" and oil for Chemica/Biological agents!

[Howlin]

Did you happen to see the picture of the soldier with the little baby that was two hours old while you were looking for all those pictures?

It was great!

[nana4bush]

The babies -- the future of a free Iraq. "Let no child be left behind."

Thanks for posting these pictures.

[spectre]

I can't get enough pictures of these beautiful children, smiling and free at last.

If only someone would put together a BOOK of these images for us to buy.
