We had a mission yesterday vs. a Baath Party-occupied village, and took 14 POW's (Prisioneiros de Guerra) with no casualties. We are advancing very rapidly with aggressiveness. It's really awesome to see a cavalry troop work and win. Everyone is doing their job well, and the commander is very pleased. I can't tell you where we are, but we are close (to Baghdad). The region isn't desert; it's like a tropical region of the country-palm trees, vegetation and rivers.
The people are very friendly and welcome us with open arms. They want to give us gifts, but we don't take anything.
I traded a Marlboro to an elder yesterday for an Iraqi-made cigarette, and it was OK. He wanted me to take the whole pack, but i insisted he take mine, which he did. He said "Bamerican, Bamerican" and was very happy. They really want us here. You can see it in their eyes. They are very affectionate and appreciative, chanting "Bush, Bush"
