I have been switching around because Togo West was on and landed on CNN -- really interesting report about what is going on in Baghdad.

Why would they want people to leave their houses near the airport and drive toward the airport which is what the Iraqi military is urging them to do. Why would Saddam clear out a neighborhood?

I don't think it is clearing out a neighborhood as much as it is congregating a lot of people in one place. Don't have a good feeling about this.

According to CNN, Iraqi's are asking the neighborhood next to the airport to walk to the airport in addition to driving! Why? This has a bad feeling about it!

They want lots of civilian casualties to force a public reaction to call for a cease fire?
