This is good (a two-fer):

1. WASHINGTON, April 1 (UPI) -- Russian military advisers have told Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and his government that the main Allied drive on Baghdad will not take place until mid-April and will then come around the west of the city, Russian journalists and analysts with strong links to Russian military intelligence now claim.

2. U.S.-led coalition forces marched toward Baghdad Wednesday after a series of key military victories against Iraqi troops and battles against Saddam Hussein's elite Republican Guard units.

U.S. troops were pushing hard on two fronts from the southeast and southwest -- to outflank five Iraqi Republican Guard divisions south of Baghdad and cut them off from the city in an encirclement battle that would force the surrounded Iraqi elite troops to surrender before they could fall back into the city.

Maybe the Russians are helping us after all...
