Coalation Tanks On Baghdad Bridge ... Live CNN
CNN | Now | Me

Posted on 04/07/2003 10:36:42 PM PDT by WhiteKnuckles

Tanks on the bridge ... one took a shot.

The lead tank looks like it has a PWO/MIA flag flying from it.

Uh-OH - Zips in the wire

Right! Actually, Fox seems to be great with analysis and its field correspondents, but they bite when it comes to covering breaking news.

There's Abu Dhabi TV, seems there's still another way to get the message out besides Aljazeera. Unless Abu Dhabi is next.

Greg Kelly is saying that Fedayeen are doing suicide runs across those bridges. They most likely stuck tanks on the end to blow up anything that attempts to cross. I am doubting that they are going to attempt a crossing.

2 American tanks went on the bridge in downtown Baghdad...they shot at something, then I think they shot at the hotel the reporters are staying in and it knocked a camera over. They said there has been too many snipers coming from that direction...THE MARINES ARE NOW IN BAGHDAD PROPER!!!

Believe it or not, Al-Jizzira is considered by Arabs to be pro-Western. Recall that last night Baghdad Bob threw a hissy fit at them!

Abu-Dhabi probably won't report the death of Saddam. Yet, anyways.

Presence of American tanks infuriates psycho-Iraqis who fly, blinded with rage, into a clear, civilian free zone. Let'em keep coming.

Observed two US tanks on the bridge, one took off toward downtown Baghdad and another stayed at the threshold of the bridge, then Bang a huge explosion right in between the camera and the tank.......

And they're back to CHAT!

Why can't they show the pictures while they chat?

The cameraman appears to have been shot while filming. Abu Dhabi looks like they're running a loop of the footage leading up to the apparent shooting.

Fox was on the ball last night when they did a split screen between Saddam's horse being blown and the Info Minister saying there was no US presence in Baghdad.

This is some crazy stuff. THEY have become the urban attackers and not us. Un-freakin-believable. There is obviously no command and control left even in central Baghdad because no General, no matter how inept, would be doing this.

Kind of like moths to light, only it's Fedayeen to tanks.

Thanks, difficult to see who's firing and why they're going after the cameras which happen to be in the right place, right time.

And incoming machine gun fire on a camera position. I bet that cameraman needs some new underwear. Pieces of concrete flying everywhere. I suspect they say a guy on the roof and were taking incoming fire so they cleared the area. Cameraman OK but keeping his head down.

I was hoping Baghdad Bob would be on tonight. I guess he's just delusional not crazy with all the heat that's around there.

I don't know about that. Last night they left CNN in the dust.
