Big clouds of Dark Smoke hovering low, hardly anyone or anything moving, very quiet

It looks like an old B&W newsreel film of WWII.

It seems to be tilted up a little. It probably got knocked around with that big explosion near the hotel.

I can't see roundabout much at all, if at all.

Maybe we wake up tomorrow and there's an American flag flying in the middle of the roundabout.

He's not too enamored of Baghdad Bob either:

Mohammad Said al-Sahhaf, the regime's "information minister", has by now lied on more occasions than Joseph Goebbles and Bill Clinton combined.
And there's this:
If you imagine the face of a clock, the Third Infantry Division is at about 8 o'clock (holding the airport), the Marines are at 4, and the 101st Airborne--with the 173rd--are at about 11.

Ditto everything you said about "I am an American soldier too!" What a brave girl. Her words give me chills every time I read them, much less say them. They will stand with "Let's roll!" as anthems for 21st century patriots.

Yep. it's windy (no peter pan as of yet, though).
