I have a nephew in the Air Force Academy -- and I couldn't be more pleased to see the Army get it's glory today. And yes, there most certainly has been air support. But the fascinating thing is that the great bulk of the air power has been used to support the ground action, not to go after strategic targets in Baghdad. There is air control, air cover and air support -- but it's damn nice to see the star of the show be the army infantry, cav and armor eating up the Iraqi territory to invest Baghdad.
And let's not forget the Marines who are in a fire fight right now taking Basra.
Kudos to the aviation forces for playing their role. I'm still struck by the lack of press reporting on air activities, which means to me that much more is going on than we'd like anyone to know about.
This entire operation is unimaginable. All elements seem to be curling together like fingers making a fist.
