Yep, British and American special forces are doing a little touch up work around the main port to secure our air, ground, and amphibious routes. 95% of the gunfire will be Iraqi soldiers shooting at targets they can't see, the other 5% will be confirmed hits and kills from our end. They made it clear that we won't even stop to bother Iraqi soldiers not carrying rifles, but those that offer resistance will be killed. Hey, its war. If unarmed Iraqi soldiers surrender (like the 17 that surrendered to British soldiers doing test firing the other day), they are instructed to return to their base and await aid and instruction. Commanding officers can keep sidearms, but thats it. Otherwise they will be killed. Pretty serious stuff.

They said the bombs will start dropping in a few hours, man I hope they can secure Baghdad without it getting ugly on the ground.

No not really, but thats what the US pays to the Boeing corporation. At least thats what they put on paper.

My Great Uncle was Glen Edwards (now has Edwards Air Force based named after him). He was a test pilot in the Northop Flying Wing. Just cool to see the B1 and know my someone I'm related to pioneered the technology on it.
