claiming that angloamerican forces had significant casualties and that ever since the eve of 19th there have been considerable casualties around basra.
also claiming that sources indicate white house is actually less than happy with the way the things are progressing.
- advance not 150 but only 15 kms, serious losses
- half of baghdad residents ran away (IRNA)
- many refugees fleeing coalition advancement into iran
- um kassr fight still going on
Perhaps the reason that the administration isn't happy with the way things have been going is the constant distractions and disappointments that its "ally" Turkey has been the author of: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/2871817.stm
Turkey fails to open airspace
US F16 aircraft
The US needs Turkish airspace to lift troops to northern Iraq
Turkey has delayed opening its airspace to US aircraft because of disagreements over its military role in northern Iraq.
The Turkish parliament gave consent for the overflights on Thursday, but overnight talks between US and Turkish officials failed to resolve key issues.
He's got the Midas touch.
But he touched it too much!
Hey Goldmember, Hey Goldmember!
LaRusso, I am reading these sites too, but begin to doubt in their credibility. Articles like "No surprise, Americans being beaten" sound more like propaganda and less like serious journalism. BBC/CNN/Fox are, of course, the same crap. Oh well.
i know. i started another thread asking russians about these infos
i am just posting the stuff most apolytoners do not read. i mean, if one believes cnn only, there are no casualties, which is strange in war...
you are probably referring to that analyst comment. however, izvestia is a well renowned russian daily, so i am interested to hear what their reported 'sources' might be
izvestia, main russian daily, report colossal american casualties
Hmm. Izvestia is more serious than some obscure internet site.
It's a fact that the number of surrendering Iraqis is nothing near the expected. It looks like there is no choice but to use the "Shock and Awe" thingie, despite the talking that it might not be used.

.S. Forces Seize Western Iraqi Airfields
WASHINGTON (AP) -- American forces seized important airfields in western Iraq as a U.S. Marine became the first combat death while fighting for control of a southern oil field. The airfields known as H-2 and H-3 in far western Iraq were taken without much resistance from Iraqi troops, defense officials said on condition of anonymity. But they called control of the installations "tentative."

irak.ru collects all infos they found. They do not care if it is true or not. Besides, they do not have their own sources. So, quoting irak.ru in this thread is not a good idea.
Opposite, irakwar.ru is publishing updates coming from Russian military intel sources. Not all info at that site is coming from military, you have to check a source of article. Besides you shall consider that intelligency may intentionally spread a false info.
Do you get the point?
2Moderator: sorry it is not a discussion - it is just a small explanation regarding Russian Internet sites, which are usually unknown for foreign visitors.
Do not laugh! Coalition troops have captured Umm-Quasr for fifth time.
There is no Iraqi resistance in area. Just, the coalition likes the very process.
