The US Army just took Saddam's Presidential Palace in Baghdad and the Information Ministry besides.
Since US troops were ordered not to raise the US flag over the Palace, some wise acre brought a University of Georgia bulldog banner to use instead. I guess we can thank the Turks for holding up the deployment of the Texas based 4th Mech and 1st Cavalry Divisions. We would have seen a Texas Lone Star flag and someone playing both "Deep in the Heart of Texas" and "Gary Owen" on a really big boom box.
Update 1:
It also looks like the 101st Airborne Division found sarin nerve agent the hard way in barrels marked as 'agricultural chemicals.' The article and comments are at this FreeRepublic.com link:

update 2:
Okay, I'm not sleeping and I am hanging out here. Fox New Channel just had this exchange between a reporter and a soldier over "Baghdad Bob," Iraq's Information minister:
"Greg Kelly is interviewing soldier. Greg asks "The Info minister doesn't believe you're here, what do you say".
Soldier says "Well, he's right across the street from here, we'll go talk to him.""
And now Bob and everyone around him is running like hell. It looks like US forces are a block away from the Al Rasheed hotel.
Update 3:
The people over on the FreeRepublic.com are posting a FNC report that the British have positively I.D.ed the body of "Chemical Ali" in Basra.
Update 4:
Sound the Bagpipes! The Black Watch is on the attack!








Re: Update 4
"The Ladies From Hell" are on the case again! They earned that soubriquet in Europe from the Germans during WWII when the Piper led charges on various enemy sites!
