[longtermmemmory]

is it just me or is the CBS webcam now not facing the street on purpose?

[billorites]

Baghdad Bob is beginning to remind me of the Black Knight.

[Enough is ENOUGH]

Our forces must apprehend Saddam and his two functionally illiterate sons and kill them in order to remove once and for all the spectre of fear from the hearts of the Iraqui people.

[demlosers]

Its pointing a few degrees to the right and slightly up than earlier.

[ewing]

We will have to go to Tikrit to do that I think..

[Sir Gawain]

Where exactly is Baghdad Bob broadcasting? Why haven't we taken him out yet?

[vp_cal]

this is a good thing- we dont want to give snipers
information about our troops' location

[demlosers]

I've heard it reported that Baghdad Bob is staying in the same hotel as the foriegn reporters. The reporters are his human shields.

[ewing]

I think 'Baghdad Bob' is worth more propaganda/psy-ops wise to have him still broadcasting.

Imagine what he will say when we find the chem weapons vaults under Baghdad..

[Brian Allen]

Benedict Arnett, here in Our Baghdad, you are persona non grata!

[longtermmemmory]

I think it will be are real triumph of moral for american troups to be spotted in that camera shot. Its almost like waiting at the finish line. almost.

Hmm perhaps a betting pool.

The exact time in Baghdad that either an armored Allie military vehicle (as part of the coalition) is first seen in the camera shot on the webcam.

[Bogey78O]

We're gonna do it while he's on the air I hope.

Imagine how great that would be.

[longtermmemmory]

who is Baghdad bob?

[PianoMan]

Presumably Robert Fisk.

[OldFriend]

The Iraqi information minister who comes on TV to do his impersonation of one of the three stooges. Proclaiming that our victories are Steven Speilberg movies and they are in control of ALL of Iraq.
