Watching FoxNews at 5:00 Pacific, they go to German reporter Chris Jumpelt who is in Baghdad. The video that is showing with his voice is being take from a car on a highway (3 lanes each way looks like). The car shooting the video passes a small flatbed truck and shows this truck first from the rear and then the side. The truck is pretty clearly carrying a missile of some sort. The missile is covered with cameflouge netting but the fins at the bottom can be clearly seen.
As the car goes alongside the truck, the video goes black. The discussion was about the black smoke rising above Baghdad. None of the Fox & Friends talking heads remark on what was shown on the screen.

Did anyone else see this? I don't have capability to video capture the picture.
To: craig_eddy
Yes i did too... I also noticed the thick black smoke. That was clearly oil burning.. but i did see the truck with the missile on it also..
To: craig_eddy

I saw it...I suspect military types saw it as well. I would expect it to be a future target wherever it is going. I see those divisions of Republican Guard as "sitting ducks." I wonder if that is how they are feeling?

Email Fox News and told them what you saw. Last night people thought they say a missle so Fox went back and reviewed the tape. It turned out to be a bird. I'm sure they'll go back and check it out.

Its not a SCUD. Flat flat bed truck huh...its a surface- to-air-missile or a short range (150 km)ground-to-ground missile.

I've suspected for some time that we're going to have to endure some missiles being launched from the Baghdad city center.
Be Seeing You,
Chris

We have tactical ballistlic missles too. Most heavy divsions have a battery of them.
To: craig_eddy
That's the modern six lane expressway going up from Basra to Nasiriya and onto Baghdad. Its one the Marines will taking later in the day.
To: craig_eddy
We saw it..big as life. Backed up the tv and watched it again. You could not mistake it for a bird! It was huge..
To: craig_eddy
I've noticed that sometimes the weekend "Friends" care more about their question than they do about the answer. The weekday crew is outstanding!

"Its not a SCUD."
It was a big missle for surface to air.
To: CasearianDaoist

Yep.
Regarding video capture, get a TV card for your computer. You can watch TV while online or generally fiddling with your rig's programs.
To: craig_eddy
Finally some comments: experts say it's a "mobile surface to air missile."
To: craig_eddy
they just replayed it -- your observation appears to be accurate. good job!

I saw - I wondered - SCUDS?? I have a photo of a scud close up. I'll try to find it and post it here on this thread. I didn't see the news you saw but if it's a scud the Iraqi's have been lying all along. Which we already know.

You're wrong. The commentator said "that looks like some sort of anti-aircraft missile."
