Rageh Omar is still saying there isn't much of a visible military presence in Baghdad, just a few non-uniformed roadblocks.

The regime keeps telling its people there are no Americans within 100 miles of Baghdad, and predicting victory, even though the airport's just fallen.

The city is in blackout (possibly the result of a carbon particle 'blackout' bomb shortcircuiting everything, or more likely special forces ground action), and according to the coalition, special forces (probably the SAS and Delta Force) have gone into the city.

Meanwhile, the Republican Guard still seem to be outside the city, in the open, getting the shit kicked out of them by the most powerful army in the world. Streetfighting is the Iraqi regime's best chance of survival. Why the hell are they outside, exposed to air attack?

Why the fuck is there hardly anyone inside the city?

Is Saddam planning a scorched earth strategy?


(News just in - a suicide attack near Baghdad. Pregnant woman gets out of a car and starts screaming in terror at an American checkpoint. Then the car explodes, killing her, the driver and three American soldiers.)

(More news just in - the Americans have allegedly found a suspicious cache of documents and boxes of white powder just south of Baghdad. This is the area where the Iraqi chemical weapons facilities used to be/are.)
