The Associated Press reports on one of the first babies born in free Iraq:

Wednesday, U.S. forces spotted a 20-year-old Iraqi woman in labor in a pickup truck. The woman's family had been displaced from another city and was living in tents in Nasiriyah.

"I got the ambulance and sent her to the battalion aid station and delivered a healthy baby girl and named her America. It was a pretty cool way to start the day," said Navy Hospitalman First Class Kyle Morris, 39, of San Clemente, Calif.

Another girl was born at a Marine camp near Nasiriyah, Reuters reports:

The [mother], Jamila Katham, approached a U.S. military ambulance in a patrol in the Nassiriya area of southern Iraq early on Wednesday to seek help, U.S. Marine surgeons said. . . .

Surgeons Lieutenant Sean Stroup and Lieutenant Michael Humble delivered her of a healthy six-pound girl only 20 minutes after the ambulance had brought her to a U.S. Marine camp.

The baby, Katham's first child, has been named Rogenia. "I think they wanted an American-sounding name," Stroup said.

"The grandmother wanted Americana or something, but the mother wanted Rogenia," said Stroup, of San Jose, California.

Oh, shame on your for posting that absolutely hateful Pro-America propaganda!

HOW DARE YOU suggest that perhaps the Iraqi people REALLY want to be free? I mean, aside from the throngs of people celebrating in cities that we've ridden of Saddam's thugs, the Fatwah issued by a Shiite cleric proclaiming support for the troops, and now the babies, I mean...what proof is there that they don't love Saddam?
