"does it bug anyone that this is happening in broad daylight??? is that protocol for house to house now?'
Er, Ummm, once you start it's a bit hard to stop just because the sun came up.
Also, a lot of what I've seen so far was taped yesterday/last night (here) when the troops were forming up and/or probing and shaping what was to come. Likely that we are using darkness right now to advantage.
It is 9:18 PM in Bagdad. This is a night operation.
