Update from FNC - ring of black smoke to the south through southwest. This IS the Iraqis doing, confirmed by the Iraqis.

Hmmm. This tells me that FO's from the RG divisions (the Nebuchadnezzar and the Hammurabi), if they exist, must have spotted the dust trails of the Seventh Cavalry. My first thought was that they were going up the Karbala gap.

Karbala Gap is only one attack line. The crossing at Nasiriyah was key. The establishment of a bridgehead here will allow us to attack up both sides of the Euphrates.

Be Seeing You,
