America In War
New explosions were heard in and around central Baghdad overnight Monday as a few U.S. military units crossed into the "red zone" within 50 miles of Baghdad. Others cautiously made their way up the Euphrates River, taking on stubborn clusters of resistance.

Allies Suffer Setbacks:
Iraq used ambushes and even fake surrenders to kill and capture U.S. troops Sunday, inflicting the first significant casualties on the allied forces driving toward Baghdad. U.S. war leaders declared the invasion on target despite the bloody setbacks.
Up to nine Marines died and a dozen U.S. soldiers were taken prisoner in surprise engagements with Iraqis at An Nasiriyah, a southern city far from the forward positions of the allied force.
Twelve U.S. soldiers were missing and presumed captured by Iraqis in an ambush on an army supply convoy at An Nasiriyah.
A British warplane was shot down in a friendly-fire attack by U.S. Patriot missiles, killing its crew of two, and a grenade attack in an Army base in Kuwait left a captain dead and a U.S. soldier as the suspect.
OPINION IN BRIEF
I have great respect for the men and women fighting overseas to
protect our way of life in Iraq and other parts of the world. As
the son of an Army officer, I understand the strength, courage
and discipline required to successfully carry out their missions
in hostile environments and feel tremendous pride they are
representing us. Obviously, no one likes war. Our Congress and
President tried hard to avoid the use of force, but ultimately
decided it was the best course of action. I like the assertiveness
shown by President Bush and think we owe it to our political
and military leaders, along with our brave soldiers, to be as
supportive as possible during these difficult and trying times. I
just wanted to take this opportunity to let our forces know that
I am thinking about you and wishing you and your families the
best." --Tiger Woods

The officials said Syria has also been storing Iraqi missiles and weapons of mass destruction for the Saddam regime.
