Basra II
The ABC is reporting that the British will not now enter Basra, the US Marines have broken through at Nasiriya and Umm Qasar has still not been cleared of pockets of resistance. The Red Cross has called for urgent access to the Basra power station to avert a disaster. Until the coalition either withdraws or takes Basra the water and power situation in that city will remain shocking and awful.
