How times move on. The BBC have thoughtfully provided a live webcam view of the Baghdad skyline. The link, should you care to make use of it is off of the main BBC World News page - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/
I've had the video stream running for most of the day, and in that time pretty much nothing has happened, except for the time around 6pm GMT when it all kicked off big time.
I guess the old adage is true, "War is hours of boredom punctuated with moments of sheer terror."

Oh, it's you, Gosho.
I can't cope with all this name-changing-in-protest-against-the-Beeb nonsense. I can only recognise three Researcher numbers at the best of times: mine, Odo's and (for some reason) Ashley's.

The first was something about CNN staff returning to whence they came.
The second made reference to a member of CNN staff who has a very silly name.

Ah. I wouldn't have got it anyway, then. I'm always amused by the ITN correspondent Nina Nannah - I wonder if her mother gave birth in the ambulance?

when ever I see her on TV, I have this irresistable urge to start singing that Bad Manners song "Nee-nee nah-nah noo-noo ... "

Ooh, my first mod of the Big Thing in Another Place 
Was it as good for you as it was for me?
I don't think I can be modded for saying that Wolf Blitzer is a daft name though
