What I picked up from the morning reports (I only get CNN International - mega hurler :-(( )

SitRep, 05:20 GMT, 21 March 2003,
1. 7th Cavalry Regiment racing across the desert to Bagdad (possibly already halfway there.
2. Rest of the 3rd Division pulling up the rear.
3. No resistence!
4. Marines & the Brits moving up the east side of the Tigris
5. Still Confusion regarding Saddams fate (alive, dead, injured)
6. Some strikes against Bagdad C3.
7. Sadly, 16 Soldiers died in a Chinook crash in Kuwait - prayers for thier souls and thier grieving families.

Anybody got more??

Oh yes, before I forget, the biggest news on the Euro Channels seems to be the protests and the opinions of the worlds leaders (Chiraq, Schröder & Co.). All predictably negative and irrelevent.

The 11th Iraqi army has surrendered entirely. And also estimates are that 20% of the Rep. Guard is surrendering or agreed to surrender.

Re: your #5 on SaddSack's fate. Next time those two side-by-side photos of the Sack in uniform is shown ( w/ him wearing glasses & beret in right photo)....notice the shoulder width between them. The "real" Sack on the left has broader shoulders.

Me thinks his pieces have assumed room temperature.

Maybe some talented FReeper has/can post that pic.
