Just watching live feed on all the news channels from Umm Qasr where elements of the USMC are held up by a couple of pockets of resistance, all appears to be going to plan and Tanks are currently mopping things up.

However the Journo on the scene is now getting hot anf bored and is starting to ask why only a few iraqis can hold up "his" advance.

He asked his of a Marine Grunt and also made the point that perhaps the action was being sanitised by the presence of live feed cameras.

Grunt came back "I anyone thinks this is sanitised then I invite them to go and visit the local recruiting office they can be foundon any street corner"

priceless...
