Christine Amanpour on CNN reporting breaking news.....Basra now considered open military target

It appears they don't want no "liberation". Now what?!

[Billy_bob_bob]

I think it means that Basra has been on Double Secret Probation, and as of now they are going to be on the receiving end of the Wrath of Dean Wormer. Something like that, but with bombs and stuff.

Where did you get the news that the surrendering general has returned to defend the city? Yes, an example will need to be made of him. Too bad for the people of Basra, This is gonna get messy. They are foolish to resist.

We need to take their airwaves and talk directly to the people.

Hitting "abuse" button on any thread and typing in a reason.

When the 51st Iraqi division broke its agreement to surrender, the deal to leave them alone is now off. They're going to be annihilated as a warning to other Iraqi miliitary units of the fate they'll encounter if they stab us in the back.

Sorry, this is my first time posting a breaking news thread....all these nasty keywords just appeared out of nowhere! Sorry again

Wesley Clark. Those we told to "go home" went into Basra to force us into urban fighting which Saddam knows we do not want to do.

MOAB, baby.

It is time to SMITE!!!

The problem with the keywords has already been taken care of but, for future reference, the quickest way to deal with something like that is to hit the abuse button at the end of any post on the thread. Explain what the problem is and the Mods will take care of it.

Nah... W. is fighting a "kinder and gentler" war against the peaceful and loving people of Iraq.

[merrin]

Right, Clark. All the analysts are starting to blur together in my mind.

We need to shift strategic focus from the decapitation of the regime to the destruction of the Iraqi Army.

Never trust an arab/persian or any middle east types whilst on their soil. They are the biggest liars in the world.

[Hazzardgate]

What a horrible hack that is......I didn't want anyone to think i had put those there.

As for Basra, it seems Destro's earlier post was correct.

[whadizit]

What keywords? Where are you talking about? My curiosity is killing me.

[bluecollarman]

This is true, they lie...nothing you can do about it. Just have to deal with it.

[swheats]

Can you post a link to the article where the commander went back to fight?

[It's me]

I'm sorry, I'm totally lost. Can someone help me?

I thought the 51st surrendered. How can the general go *back* and defened it? How did they renege on a deal? What deal?

Thanks...
