I don't believe that night vision goggles and gas masks can be worn at the same time. This puts the coalition forces at a disadvantage during the night-time hours but its not as if the sun will never rise over Baghdad again.
Iraqi officials have been using loudspeakers throughout Baghdad, telling their citizens to leave their homes and to head in the direction of the Saddam International Airport. Whatever success they gain by having a human wave in between them and the coalition forces moving in is going to be short-lived and says a lot about what they think of the lives of their people. It isn't known how many, if any, of Baghdad's citizens are following their government's directions.
It HAS been a very un-war like war...as much as I opposed starting it, I can not say that I am not impressed. It has made me more secure knowing that our military is perfectly capable of protecting us on our own soil, if it should ever come to that in my lifetime...something I could not say with honest confidence prior to these past two weeks.
