Liberation

<warm-fuzzy-feeling>I just saw something really awesome on Fox news: footage of a US soldier in a recently liberated Iraqi town [update: it was Safwan].  People were gathered around him, all with giant smiles on their faces, shaking his hand, giving him hi-fives.</warm-fuzzy-feeling>

Also saw this headline: "Surrenders coming as fast as we can handle them."

I worry about Baghdad though.  During the weeks before the war, there were rumors about the Iraqi army digging trenches around the city and filling them with oil.  Who knows what’s true at this point, but I’d hate to see our troops walk into a trap when they enter the capital.
