Financial Times reports that the 3rd Mechanized Infantry Division has already taken the "vicinity" of Al Nasiriya. No word about Abraham and Sarah.

Nasirija was the site of one of the last battles of GWI, says this old article in Cairo's Al Ahram Weekly, and the Shi'ite uprising that followed it, says this site.

Richard Meyers, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, now says forces are more than 100 miles inside Iraq, which would put them just around Nasiriya.
