Yup, those horns honking are catching my ear, too. What's the point at this stage?

When in downtown, we should change the movie theater marquee's (do they have theaters?) to "Now Playing: Wag The Dog" starring the 3rd ID.

22:08 PST (AP) -- Col. David Perkins told his troops before the operation that the mission was intended to be "a dramatic show of force" to demonstrate that U.S. forces can enter Baghdad at any time, anywhere.

The Bradley fighting vehicles and tanks took up fighting positions around the presidential palace on the way in, up Highway 8.

U.S. troops had to pass through a 400-yard-long minefield to approach the area.

There were 200 anti-tank mines spread on the road and U.S. troops pushed them aside and proceeded down the highway.
