MSNBC announced that the BBC is reporting a Firefight between the Special Republican Guard and the Marines, on the banks of the Tigris River.

Saddam is suspected to be hold up in a building, possibly a Mosque.

Hope we got him, but who knows.

My money is on the Marines.

Semper Fidelis.

My money is on the Marines.

Ahhh, I'm not falling for that sucker's bet... :-)

[agincourt1415]

The Marines stood proud today!

This could be the icing on the cake if they have him in a Mosque.

[bonesmccoy]

They must be hiding something in the Mosque.

It would be nice to take Saddam alive.

Then, you could make him the laughing stock of the Middle East.

[bonfire]

The action always starts around this time.........I'm exhausted!

Thanks for the info and for not saying the Elite Republican Guard.

The left wingers and Islamolovers have worn out that word when it comes to the stubble bum derelicts of the Republican Guard.

[demnomo]

Ya beat me to it...

[goldstategop]

They're not Elite. They're a bunch of overdressed cowards. Our brave Marines will make short work of them. Semper fi!

[agincourt1415]

Marines say: "The Republican Guard has surrounded us, the poor bastards"

[PhilDragoo]

Thanks for the info and for not saying the Elite Republican Guard.

They've been downgraded to the Effete Republican Guard.

[goldstategop]

LOL!!! Isn't that Baghdad Bob's line?? ;-)

[Mr. Mojo]

MOAB the mosque

[goldstategop]

Bwahahaha!!! Soon they'll be running for their lives in their skivvies.

[agincourt1415]

I just got home from work, and I need my GLOAT TIME.

I set a pacifist at work straight tonight!

U.S. troops search Baghdad mosque after fight -BBC

BAGHDAD, April 10 (Reuters) - U.S. Marines were searching a mosque in Baghdad close to one of Saddam Hussein's presidential palaces on Wednesday after a firefight with Iraqi forces, a BBC correspondent said from the scene.

Correspondent David Willis was quoted on the British broadcaster's website as saying the Marines believed Saddam might be hiding in the mosque.

"The Marines came under attack -- probably by special Republican Guard units -- as dawn broke along the Tigris river," the BBC said. "One Marine was killed in a half-hour battle."

Do you have a link? For ease?

Thanks! :-)

Fox: Marines blasting forces loyal to Saddam in Baghdad.

Blasting is good.

Blast them real good.

But Daschle will be saddened.

But that's good, too.

At this point--it's all good.
