It's Starting To Sink In

The war seems to be going pretty well again. The Republican Guard seems to have been decimated - and now they're finding out the true meaning of shock and awe. The Baghdad division has been crushed and the Medina division is operating at less than 50%. But out of the entire article the most telling line for me was:

British officials said two would-be suicide attackers had turned themselves in to troops in Umm Qasr. "They didn't want to be suicide bombers any more," said British Col. Steve Cox.

Looks like even the most fanatical defenders of the regime are starting to give up on defending a dying regime. Now maybe these two were being forced to become suicide bombers, but even then, it shows that they don't have much fear of Saddam's SS.

Rescued POW, suicide bombers who give up, the Army on the move again - sounds like a good start to the day to me.
