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.

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish, and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and goodwill, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down on thee with great vengence and furious anger, those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers, and you will know my name is The Lord when I lay my vengence upon thee.
Rock the Casbah! Rock the Casbah!
Let's just hope our troops know what a bidet is, otherwise they're going to get a face full of water :-))
Considering that I'm not at all happy with CNN, I'll bump away.
