John Bachelor says his sources say no resistance reported from Baghdad. US is keeping lid on story for fear of mass revolts. Picking this up from their pre-show WABC feed.

nice shot.

I think this whole war was wired by a CIA on steroids, and God blessem. Thank the Church amendment for handcuffing the CIA all these years.

Nice of them to try to blow the lid off of the story then...

[js1138]

Is this the ABC story that wasn't supposed to go out?

[zook]

I don't know if they know that their remarks are going out over the air. It came across in a phone conversation between Bachelor, Alexander, and Monica Crowley (from Fox News).

Oh, well, let's not count the chickens before they're hatched. If the Iraqi Army begins to collapse within the next 48 hours, by God, the folks over at DU will have apoplexy.

It would make things a little easier, reduce the cost of the war, but I'm not getting my hopes up yet. Lots of rumor in wars.

[zook]

Now I'm beginning to wonder if I should have posted this. I'm open to having this thread pulled, if others agree.

"US is keeping lid on story for fear of mass revolts."

We're probably not gonna see 'shock & awe', huh?

Our mechanized divisions are racing at full speed across the western desert on their way to Baghdad.

Also, I expect the C-17's and C-5's loaded with M1 tanks and Bradley's are stacked up over Northern Iraq waiting to unload. I guys are working their butts off right now, contrary to the way it appears.

[BOBWADE]

I was beginning to think you lost your pic!

[oceanview]

these guys are nuts, their show is entertaining, but they are as good as debka when it comes to real facts. their show doesn't start until 10PM EST.

FOTFLMAO! Is it over yet?

"Hey man, nice shot".

Based on rumors of this kind, some of which are being broadcast on the major networks, I'm betting on a formal surrender by Friday night, U.S. time. There will be pockets opf resistence, but I bet we have 80% of the Republican guard in our pocket by noon tomorrow, EST.

as i've noted elsewhere, i think this is entirely likely. look at the saddam tape. assume that it is him. now watch his breathing. he's bad hurt and maybe morphined. he's either dead or within an ace of it.

and now there's the report that uday may have gotten his head stove in.

You mentioned an ABC apology on another thread, could you please elaborate for those of us who missed the story?

[dep]

that very thing is being discussed by mcinerney on fnc right now, with the idea being that they'd probably surrender tonight but nobody surrenders at night.

I've been lurking. Pure schadenfreud. It's some of the funniest stuff I've ever read.

There will come, I suspect, a moment when somebody snaps a pic of a little kid in Baghdad with an American flag and a picture of Bush. Oh, to be able to post that there...
