GOTTA SEE THIS - War for Enduring Freedom 4/8/03 - Presidential Thunder Run, Baghdad

BREAKING: Presidential palace - Thunder Run
BREAKING: Baghdad - Sahaf press conference interrupted
BREAKING: South Baghdad - Behind Enemy Lines

---

========= Baghdad =========

At the presidential palace. Incoming.

---

=========== Behind Enemy Lines ===========

At the presidential palace, as US troops advance,
Iraqi soldiers run. Those black figures in the foreground running.along the Tigris River
under supressive fire from coalition tanks are not ants, but terrorists. Local shock and awe.

---

Terrorist controlled Baghdad..

---

=========== Presidential Thunder Run ===========

Entering the presidential palace, US forces take a prize from the terrorists.

---

Later, at the presidential palace.

---

In Baghdad, at the international --Coalition controlled-- airport.

---

=========== Behind Enemy Lines ===========

GEEZER ALERT

Utterly insane in Baghdad
Iraqi Information Minister Mohammed Saeed al Sahaf calls a conference.
The terrorist geezers in control explain to the docile press [at the Palestinian hotel]
that the US is losing. However, this particular piece of BS PR is interrupted by Coalition forces
knocking on the terrorists' door. Duck and cover, Mr. Terrorist.

---

========= South Baghdad Near Battle lines=========

=========== Behind Enemy Lines ===========

One US tank was taken by what the Iraqis boast is Russian technology.
Much soon-to-be-ephemeral hubris in these terrorists. So much for trusting Putin.

---

---

NOTA BENE: COALITION ALERT

Fleeing terrorists dressed in civilian clothes like in Southern Iraq

---

========= Baghdad =========

Outside Baghdad, securing the key bridge into Baghdad.

Please spend a few hours today helping for success in the War for Enduring Freedom,
or/and post your thought, missive, picture, thread, analysis, greetings to those serving overseas,
venting, update, correction, observation, or anything else of interest.

DO NOT BUMP IF YOU ARE HAPPY WITH HOW THE MEDIA IS REPORTING THIS WAR FOR ENDURING FREEDOM.

[Diogenesis]

Saddam's bedroom taken by the greatest military force for good in the history of the universe.

[ThomasMore]

Unbelievable Pictures.

Let Freedom Ring Bump!

[eureka!]

Wow. Great shots of Thunder Run. Continuing thanks....

[InvisibleChurch]

how long have you been stationed in baghdad? great pictures

[Illbay]

Interestingly, the official line from the dying Iraqi regime is that the images you're showing are all produced in Hollywood using special effects. There are no U.S. forces in Baghdad.

[mad puppy]

Thanks, again, Dio.

[Catspaw]

I love that picture of our soldiers relaxing in Saddam's bedroom. Thanks, Dio!

[MattinNJ]

That pic just went up as my wallpaper. Thanks

[hedgetrimmer]

I hope the whole division gets to take showers in the rooms with the golden faucets. It'll make a good story for when they get home.

[just me]

Looks like it could be a Norman Rockwell painting

thanks again

[MediaMole]

3rd Division at Berchtesgarden.

[najida]

Fabulous pictures! Thank you so much.....

I am late to work but I can't tear myself away.

[decimon]

That soldier can thank his lucky stars he's not in New York. Mike Bloomberg would have him arrested for smoking indoors.

[Darksheare]

Interrupted by coaltion forces knocking on the door...
Would've loved to have been there for that.

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Oh my! I want to hear they have found the bunkers under these palaces!!! And destroyed what is there!

[NautiNurse]

Beautiful!!! Our fine men look stunning in those chairs. As for this one...

It almost appears like he is staring down the barrel.

[blackdog]

That is not Saddam's chair or palace those American infidels are occupying! That is an elaborately decorated death chamber where we are about to interrogate enemy invaders who were captured like crying little girls.

We have broken the morale of these troops and this is obvious. Note the soldier having his last cigarette, realizing his fate. -As reported by Baghdad Bob........

[MinuteGal]

Post # 2 - This photo of one of our heroes having a smoke in the Imperial Chair is priceless. It captures the American audacity, the brashness, the contempt for the sadistic Saddam, the satisfaction after a job well done.

This brave soldier fought a mile for a Camel!
