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.

Nothing personal, cinFLA...I just have a habit of always double checking info with a search and you are correct about Ritter, at least there is a mention of Ritter relaying the story about Iraqi kids in jail on one website I have found so far...
During Howard's recent interview with Louise Dodson and Tony Parkinson (The Age, February 22), Howard apparently got weepy talking about a report by former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter on the Iraqi children in a Baghdad jailSource
Wish I could come up with a better source, but...yes, Howlin, it appears Ritter did nothing. Wonder if the lamestream press will bring THAT up...NOT!
To: ravingnutter
Actually, what he said was that he knew more, but he wasn't going to be forthcoming with it because the pro-war people would use it to justify waging war and he wasn't for war, he was for waging peace.
Disgusting.

You are definitely right about what he said.

Maybe this is the one.

Here is the copy for that picture.

Shortly after sunrise, F Company Marines guarding the perimeter of the 15th MEUs area were approached by Jamila's family, who were needing assistance. The Marines radioed from their post to their operations center and a military ambulance was sent to pick up the expecting mother. Jamila gave birth at about 8 a.m to Katham, who was healthy and weighed approximately six pounds. (AP Photo/US. Marines, Staff Sgt. Robert Knoll)

Gentle giants Indeed! Ahhh, the US & the Brit soldiers, makes me proud to be an American.
To: Cincinatus' Wife
Bump .... while the fight is easier, now I know how people felt at the end of WW2 when the Germans were whipped.
Disgust for our enemies and nothing but admiration for our troops.

Where were the UN aid workers in all of this? They were supposed to be on the ground to receive the aid and distribute. They were the ones that hightailed it out of Iraq before we attacked.
Does the UN expect us to believe that they didn't know Saddam was doing this?
IMO the UN shouldn't even be involved in humanitarian aid -- they are unqualified!

French architect, Jacques Barriere, has been commissioned to design the structure, which will cover an area near Baghdad the size of 12 football pitches. Once again, those French really have a lot of 'splainin' to do.

I remember that picture. Also that the mother thought Rogenia was an American name!!
To: Cincinatus' Wife
Thank you. It is now linked to all my college teaching websites, with the complete text of the Star Spangled Banner.

That is so true. There is so much satisfaction, happiness, and love in that smile. I could look at it all day. Families of our armed forces - you put that smile on the little girl's face, by supporting your family members who serve.
I posted the photo, the link to the original story, and the complete text of the Star Spangled Banner on all my college course websites. (I told the students of two 5 week courses that the war would be over before the course was. And it was over.)
Note how appropriate the last three (but almost unknown) verses of the National Anthem are:
On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, now conceals, now discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines on the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner! O long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion
A home and a country should leave us no more?
Their blood has wiped out their foul footstep's pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heaven-rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, for our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner forever shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

THAT picture is going to piss the UN off something fierce. They want population CONTROL, not humanitarian aid, after all.
What a BEAUTIFUL PICTURE!
