God Bless. Hope not?
Baghad has been under attack all day...wouldn't surprise me if it was a missle...
Man oh MAN..I hope this isn't OUR ammo...
My ears have been ringing since the ammo dump at Danang blew during the first night of TET 1968. One week ago today, VA finally got me hearing aids. Yesterday for the first time since that ammo dump blew up I heard a bird sing. Heard more while at the VA hospital in L.A. today.
they have been saying that rockets have been flying over the FOB.
"A army standing still is a disaster waiting to happen. Conservatives more than anyone used to understand this."
So important, it bears repeating . . .
More than normal?
No just venting that weve fought this thing with one hand behind our backs, in a pc fashion and appear to be no better off than we were the first month of occupation. By no means am I anti war. I want full scale scare the shi-ite out of them war campaigns that leave marks.
You ok? Keep us posted...prayers to you all.
Bad, bad news.
Hope no one gets hurt.
yes....I heard at least 20 attacks today..
Damn. I really hate those people.
no doubt, we are fighting this like its a police action. What a joke. Lets get serious and kill some terrorist.
Here is another report with some more info:

Fire erupts at U.S. ammo depot in Iraq
By LEE KEATH
ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
BAGHDAD, Iraq -- A massive fire broke out at an ammunition depot at a U.S. base in southeast Baghdad on Tuesday night, setting off multiple explosions, the U.S. military said. There were no immediate reports of casualties.
The blasts from ammunition detonating in the depot at Forward Operating Base Falcon went off for hours afterward, sending up huge flashes of light on the horizon that were visible several miles away in central Baghdad, where the force of the explosions could be felt. Some of the blasts came in rapid succession, sending fiery streaks into the air over the city.
The cause of the fire was not immediately known, said Lt. Col, Christopher C. Garver, a military spokesman.
Authorities are "trying to determine the cause or any threat to the population," Garver said.
Falcon is located in a former commercial trucking depot in a sprawling industrial area at the southern entrance of Baghdad, near the violence-torn district of Dora, where U.S. troops have been focusing in a two-month-old sweep of the capital neighborhood-by-neighborhood aimed at rooting out militants and weapons.

Meantime, prayers up for those trying to contain the fires.
