U.S. officers say attack launched on Baghdad airport

NEAR BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - U.S. forces launched an attack Thursday on Baghdad's international airport as American soldiers swept to the outskirts of the Iraqi capital, American officers said.

Artillery fire could be heard near Saddam International Airport on the southwestern edge of the capital. Tracer rounds raced through the blackened sky and artillery shells exploded in the air.

Officers of the 3rd Infantry Division told an Associated Press reporter assigned to the unit that the attack on the airport had begun.

Earlier Thursday, the 3rd Infantry Division swept north from the Euphrates River town of Musayyib and engaged Iraqi forces in running battles along the southern edge of Baghdad.

What a marvelous place from which to begin the repatriation of illegal alien Muslims from the United States. Round'em up, head'em up. Move'em out. Rawhide!

So how about

Ouch. But San Fran deserves every ounce of criticism. Wow, is this moving fast. I think that we have officially enhanced and redefined the term "blitzkreig".
