The Iraqi Minister for Defense Sultan Hachem Ahmad ensured Thursday that Baghdad was "impregnable", grateful however that the first American units were with 140 kilometers of the doors of the capital. "the enemy is currently in the east of the town of Diwaniah, that is to say to some 140 km in the south of Baghdad", declared Mr. Ahmad at the time of a press conference.

"We will not be astonished if the enemy encircles Baghdad from here five to ten days but it will have to take the city. Baghdad will remain impregnable for the Americans and the British as long as the inhabitants will be in life ", it added.

Questioned on the probability that there are street battles in the capital, it answered: "Surely".

"Baghdad is "impregnable"

Should read:

Baghdad is "PREGNANT WITH EVIL, WAR CRIMES, CORRUPTION, GRAFT, LIES, AND DISTORTION"

(Just like the Democratic Party - USA)

"We will not be astonished if the enemy encircles Baghdad from here five to ten days

Baghdad will remain impregnable for the Americans and the British as long as the inhabitants will be in life ..."

He went on to say..."of course, its an all together different story once we run out of inhabitants to force into fighting against the U.S. and Britain."

Baghdad is "impregnable"

Hey you know "Baghdad" would be a good name for a condom

[XJarhead]

Wait a minute. I thought all our advances were being defeated by the Iraqi army and brave peasant patriots. How is it that we are going to manage to encircle Baghdad if that's true? Or is there a chance that they've been lying about their "victories" all along....

I'm sure. But then, wherever we send our troops, they leave behind a generation of kids who look suspiciously different.
