And those killed and injured may have been targets. We shouldn't assume all were "innocent bystanders."

The CNN crew made it to Jordan.

They did confirm that the main gas station between Baghdad and Jordan was destroyed, and that there were several holes in the road (did not appear that there were similar holes off the road).

A high percentage were children...with puppies....near a baby milk factory, of course. {smile, wink}

Yeah, those are the oil trenches. Looks like Saddam had to light 'em up a little early. I bet that Seventh Cav is now probing the outlying defenses of the Nebuchadnezzar Division as we speak.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

That would be the apparent oil trench fires.
Update from FNC - ring of black smoke to the south through southwest. This IS the Iraqis doing, confirmed by the Iraqis.

Tommy Franks up soon. Something for those poor bored reporters to do instead of drinking coffee.
