Great news and excellent report. We are praying specifically for the liberation of Basra - over Here Please keep us posted on the progress. Looks like a paticularly dense location of "evil" given this information: "The man leading the fightback, General Ali Hassan al-Majid - known as Chemical Ali - is said to have ordered soldiers to sign up every day to promise to fight on.

Drafted in to bolster the resistance and retake the south of the country, he is believed to have brought with him 500 men from a special security guard based in Saddam’s home town of Tikrit, placing two of them with each military commander with orders to shoot him if he shows signs of capitulating. "

Go, Brits, Go!

The other good news here is that if we surround and take Basra, we can capture or kill Chemical Ali.

here's hoping we liberate it soon.
