U.S. 3rd Infantry engaged at Euphrates River
Resistance from Iraqi troops halted U.S. forces advancing through southern Iraq on Friday near Nassiriya, a main crossing point over the Euphrates river.
UPDATE: There *was* some resistance near Nassiriya. . . and coalition forces have taken Umm Qasar just south of Basra. Still keeping an eye on Where is Raed for what is happening on the ground, and this article from Guardian UK on how the Iraqis are expected to fight. If they were anything like they were in 1991, they are not expected to fight well.
