***Operation Iraqi Freedom - Situation Room - Day 14 - LIVE THREAD***

FNC verifies Jessica has a lot of broken bones along with being shot. I assume all the Iraqis holding her are dead right now.

I don't know if the Iraqi's are dead yet, how many hours does it take for fire ants to devour someone covered with honey?

Fox - New explosions in Baghdad right now.

[Mr.Crimson]

Thank you for your opinion I will consider it carefully

[spectr17]

All reporters being VERY careful about what they report. Anderson Cooper just reminded reporter about what he could report or not.

Oh, ok. From what I've heard and read, the regulars were easier on POW's than the secret police, primarily because they have some semblance of professionalism and knew they'd be treated well if captured by us. If I were to prognosticate, I'd say that it's worse now then it was 12 years ago since fedaheen have pervaded Iraqi society.

"You think the general Iraqi army doesn't beat them as bad or at all due to being common soldiers?"

While it is a given that the average muslim/islamist/whatever is mildly less of anything than other primates -

Yes, Snuffy is Snuffy just about whichever army he or she serves in.

It gets bad when either (a) the general populace, or (b) the police/party cadre has control.

OK .. why aren't ANY of the Bagdad cameras working?

[rolling_stone]

I sure am tired and want to hit the hay, but by morning this thing might be exciting or over..my thoughts are with our troops..seems they are well prepared, trained and up for this battle....I suggest next thread we post PFC Jessica Lynch instead of belly girl, she has earned it..

[Tree of Liberty]

Don't know, don't have any of the webcams up on my 'puter, but fox just said that some huge explosions just hit Baghdad.

[spectr17]

Jessica's mom and pop on CNN. Real glad to hear news.

[Mr.Crimson]

Got it and replied

[Mo1]

OK .. they all just went back up

Not sure what that was all about

[spectr17]

I'm not a commie, just watching CNN to add other news here. Don't shoot in other words 8^)

[Mo1]

Correction .. MSNBC Cam is still down .. others are working

[Tree of Liberty]

Wonder if they're all using the same up-link bandwidth?

[Tree of Liberty]

Received the reply, and thank you.

[spectr17]

Pentagon. Unclear if Chemical Ali captured

[Tree of Liberty]

Well, guess that nixes that theory
