Inside the green zone inside Baghdad
Rocket or mortar? Most likely mortar because a rocket basically requires line of sight.
Also heard it on MSNBC before switching over to FOX
They are really stupid.
MSNBC saying Reuters news service is definitely reporting a rocket.
MSNBC just said it was a direct hit on the south side of the embassy.
regarding line of site, also heard hundreds of Iraqi uniforms missing. correlation ??
.
Isn't the embassy hardened against this sort of thing?
Seems like activity is centering around the green zone. I've read, and heard on the radio, several reports about attacks on the green zone, and Iraqi forces fighting insurgents around the green zone.
apparently not....
Business as usual over in that rathole, and nobody will know nothing about it. This shouldn't even be a Fox Alert anymore.
The reporters/journalists won't go outside the Green Zone. We cannot expect to get any coverage elsewhere.
The problem with this is that it seems so fortuitous. I bet that the insurgents now think that they are blessed by Allah, and that he granted them this 'victory' on the eve of the election. In a propaganda war, these things matter.
btt
Could be a 107/122 mm rocket. Doesn't require LOS.
What's Irag?
MSNBC is reporting that 2 people killed and that the embassy is on lock down. They also keep showing something that looks like a fire.
