NBC, David Shuster at CENTCOM: Air campaign was much more effective than thought at first...literally "obliterated" the Iraqi forces. Very little resistance. Coalition moving into suburb areas with minor resistance.

Adding just a bit from Shuster's remarks...CENTCOM expected "stiff" resistance at airport; lack thereof is highly encouraging.

Shuster also says CENTCOM was correct about the location of the RG units a couple of days ago - they did not retreat into the city, or melt away - they were "obliterated" by our airpower.
