On to Tikrit!

Baghdad really isn’t the prize here – not as far as Saddam is concerned. The real prize is his hometown of Tikrit, which Saddam has built into a parallel capital to Baghdad. Coalition forces are preparing to push on towards Tikrit in a matter of hours it seems, and if the Ba’athists still have the capability to use chemical weapons, they will use them there.

By the way, that six day pause the peacemongers were gloating about just a week ago. Well, I just got done watching footage of American soldiers camped out on Saddam’s front porch. The six days are over! guys! So much for one’s definition of pause.
