#3 Maintaining the general Tigris River divide between Shiites and Sunnis might be more advisable than cross-river protection. Shiites will be lobbing mortars over the wall. They wouldn't do that in consolidated areas. Sounds like somebody is infected with State Department thinking.

#4 ...Has anyone noticed that in this war, a lot of the commanders seem to be leading from the front? Rough on 05s and 06s but it has got to be reassuring to the troops.

#5 The Col. is doing well and is with his family. He will be returning to duty. Arrests were made in the sniping. That's all the 82nd PAO is releasing.

Glad Col. Farris is going to be O.K.

Hope intelligence is extracted from those arrested and they are given the same intended for Col. Farris.
