CONTAINING LINKS TO 1280 STORIES FROM THE NETWORKS' NIGHTLY NEWSCASTS
     COMMENTS: Cavalry Colonels

A pair of colonels from the First Cavalry Division was featured on the eve of the end to the military occupation of Iraq's urban areas. CBS' Lara Logan was in Mosul to cover Col Gary Volesky as he ended patrols in "the most dangerous city in Iraq." Logan collected local vox pop: "It is clear from speaking to people here that they have had enough of being occupied and they are eager to see control of their country back in Iraqi hands." On ABC, Martha Raddatz narrated footage of Col Tim Karcher, who completed his pullout from Baghdad's Sadr City ten days ago. The end of his patrols did not mean the end to his war: "Today," Raddatz reported, "I learned of the firefight west of Sadr City and the enormous bomb that shattered Karcher's vehicle. He lost both legs. He is fighting for his life."
