I would have to say running over a country the size of Cali. in 2 weeks is unconventional.

Nothing 'non-conventional' yet and it's nearing midnight in Baghdad.

And this from a BBC reporter's diary:

There is no sign of any 'unconventional act' against the coalition forces so far tonight, as indicated by an Iraiq minister earlier today.

What that 'act' might be is still not clear, maybe a suicide attack of some kind.

I have a sense from one official here that everything stopped at the joint command centre and the personnel there watched the new video of Saddam Huessin when it appeared earlier today.

I'm not an expert but it did look like him. It will bouy up whatever support there is for him in Baghdad.

They're going to throw a big USO show and invite all our troops as a sign of brotherhood and goodwill.

The headline act? You guessed it -- Great White! :p

Well, it's morning now in Baghdad.

<yawn>

The Republican Guard is moving toward the airport but they'll probably whip out white flags instead of RPGs.

I kinda doubt that this time. These guys are the ones ready to fight.

They'd be stupid to fight the coalition in the "open". Guerrilla fighting in a major city tends to "level the playing field". ;) It's their only "chance" inside Baghdad. ;)

Didn't 2500 of them surrender on Friday?
