#1 "But the IRNA correspondents quoted a foreign reporter as saying the US-led coalition forces have set a number of days for civilians to leave Baghdad after which they will announce the city as a military region."

Sounds like Tommy is going to let his troops have a couple of days' rest before we start dismantling Baghdad. Good - those guys need and deserve it! Just don't wait too long, and let Sadsack dig in too much.

#2 Sammy's gettin' squirrely - he's really startin' to feel the heat. A couple of days lull is good. We need rest, to secure our supply lines and get more troops into the theatre of operations. Then, turn off the lights.

#3 So, where's our tanks? They're not in Germany. And it seems to me the Desert Rats got there a lot sooner than I thought.

#4 The people should leave anyway. The "government" that will confiscate their houses and/or property isn't going to be legit once Baghdad is taken, so they really don't have anything to lose.
