will lose it. colin powell, then chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, believed in exerting maximum power on the ground so that you wouldn t be fighting a prolonged war, that this would be quick, decisive. it became known as the powell doctrine. the ground war started this morning as the americans and their allies attack with massive fire power that shook the earth. we re about 15 1/2 hours into a ground war that from all of the sketchy reports that we re receiving is going well. so far the offensive is progressing with dramatic success. the troops are doing a great job, but the war is not over yet. what are your impressions of saddam hussein as a military strategist? stormin n norman was out of central casting. he is neither a strategist nor is he schooled in the operational art, nor is he a tactician, nor is he a general, nor is he a soldier. other than that, he s a great military man. i want you to know that.
the greenland ice sheet is losing nearly 300 gigatons of ice per year. and that works out to thousands of tons of ice being lost from this ice sheet per second. wait a minute, you just said thousands of tons of ice are lost per second. exactly. that works out to a new subdivision worth of homes of ice being lost every second. reporter: joe mcgregor is the mission s deputy project scientist. to collect this data and compare it to previous years, he and the other sciences rely on radar, lasers, and a camera that shoots thousands of photos in flight. what do we have got here? we have multiple instruments onboard, all with the goal of measuring what is going on with the ice underneath us, how it s changing, what its properties are. reporter: our destination for the day was peterman glacier, set in a canyon 15 1/2 miles wide, its walls taller than our plane, which made for a pretty bumpy flight. this glacier is one of the
lasers, and a camera that shoots thousands of photos in flight. what do we have got here? we have multiple instruments onboard, all with the goal of measuring what is going on with the ice underneath us, how it s changing, what its properties are. reporter: our destination for the day was peterman dplasglaci set in a canyon 15 1/2 miles wide, its walls taller than our plane, which made for a pretty bumpy flight. this glacier is one of the glaciers left in greenland that still has an ice shelf at the end of it, in other words, floating ice that is attached to the original glacier. hang tight! hold on, guys. and that glacier is changing significantly. it s capped some really large icebergs these last few years. reporter: it s not just here. the country s massive sheet of ice is melting faster than at any time on record, losing on average nearly 300 billion tons of ice per year. if that rate keeps up, it will mean a 3-inch increase in sea levels by the end of the century. ho

against the united states, mueller s prosecutors say their best estimate of the kind of jail time manafort would face if convicted on those counts he s facing in d.c., they say their expected range of sentence if he s convicted would be 188 to 235 months in prison which is 15 1/2 to 20 years in prison. now that s not the statutory maximum he could face. that s more like 40 years. prosecutors say under sentencing guidelines they would expect him to do more like 15 to 20 years just for the charges in d.c. for the charges he s facing as of today in virginia, he got arraigned on today, it s a little less clear, but as far as i read it in virginia, it s 18 felony charges that manafort has been hit with. these are charges related to unreported foreign bank accounts and tax fraud and bank fraud. mueller s prosecutors in terms of coming up with a sentence
