We've also heard reports that the 3rd Infantry Division has hit resistence at the Euphrates River -- these could be some serious ground support there too.
I put my head down three hours ago: at that time, CNN's feed from the Seventh Cav was still showing nothing in front of Third Squadron. I don't think that the lead elements have run into resistance.
Planes taking off from DOHA right now, fully loaded. Methinks they're all going for the Outer defensive ring.

I caught something on CNN to the effect that the advance has been stopped while resistance that was met was probed at the Euphrates. It was about an hour and a half ago that was stated. Haven't heard anything further in the way of reports since then. Even so, they probably don't need the kind of weapons that B-52's bring for that kind of support -- there are plenty of carriers in range that far south.
