Men waved white flags or had them attached to their radio antennas. The quick movement of the first two days - think of it as 'Blitzkrieg Lite,' in which parts of Iraq's army were slashed, but towns and cities like Basra were not even bothered with - had given everyone hope of a quick end to the war.
