Agree with you about Fox, Greg, but it appears pretty well substantiated that they fired a few Scuds into Kuwait to little effect. No chem/bio warheads, needless to say. (Of course, it's not what you'd call a 'free press' in northern Kuwait today.)

I read the report about the Iraqi divisions surrender several hours ago in Debka.com , a highly partisan Israeli political news site:
"DEBKAfile's Kuwait correspondent reports from sources with the US 3rd Infantry Division on the Kuwait-Iraq border: The surrender of the Iraqi 11th and 51st divisions is under negotiation with US military officers and is expected in the coming hours. The two divisions represent two-thirds of the Iraqi army in the south."

This was reported before the oilfield burning started, with a note that these divisions are assigned to protect the (unspecified) oilfields.

Check this out, its a weblog from a very perceptive young Baghdad resident. Where is Raed? Last updated a few hours ago.
