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.

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!
I totally agree. I know it will still happen, but I don't know how we can ever trust them to do the right thing EVER.
To: Howlin
"So Ritter just didn't do anything about it?"
Of course not. He was getting payola from saddam as well as Blix and the whole of the UN. They weren't going to check up on the food situation or anything else. (This has been very plain to me for a very long time.)

I absolutely adore that photo! My heart just soared this morning, watching the Iraqis drag the downed statue of Saddam through the streets, cheering. It means that children like this sweetie in the photo don't have to live in fear of Saddam and his cronies.
Just puts a big lump in my throat!

You are welcome. God bless our troops.

I can't help but remember all the WWII films where the women feared being raped by the conquering Russian soldiers.
American soldiers are really beautiful.

Does this mean that HM3 Smith is a Republican? If so, he would have to be considered a compassionate conservative!
On a serious note, these were very touching images.

I can't get over how beautiful the Iraqi children are. The pictures of the children and adults on FOX give me hope that the Iraqi people appreciate our efforts and the dawn of a new era of Freedom after decades of Saddam's torture. God Bless our Troops, President Bush and Tony Blair.

Thanks for the ping, sis. All of these pictures of our troops with the Iraqis young and old are absolutely priceless. What an amazing day it has been today. Can it get any better than this?
