The initial rumors from the US side make it seem like their hoped-for battle outside of Baghdad is starting up. Maybe this is spin, maybe not, but this is the thread to observe, however through a glass darkly, what is going on...

ie. not likely the beginning of the 'battle o' Baghdad', more like preliminary engagement in keeping with airstrikes of past week

You make it sound like watching a football game.
