Whoever is ordering the troops around is ordering them OUT of Baghdad. FNC

Boo!

[Howlin]

He said we weren't within 100 miles.

Surprise.

[Semper Paratus]

That's the night that the lights went out in Baghdad..

[abnegation]

Bret Baier has been reporting for days that Baghdad would fall from within, not without.

Spending eternity with Virgins doesnt sound like heaven to me. I like my woman (singular) expeienced and capable.

[mwl1]

Fine, they are deader outside of Baghdad than in.

[ChewedGum]

Kinda makes you think about how early on they kept saying that we were in contact with the leadership. Wonder if this was a condition...clear the troops from Baghdad. Just thunkin'.

Just basically saying Kerry should be running for Secretary General of the UN, not POTUS.

I have a feeling that we shut the power off in Baghdad so that we can make our advance into Baghdad under cover of darkness tonight. When the sun comes up over Baghdad tomorrow (around 9PM tonight EST), there will probably be a U.S. tank parked on every street corner and we will have total control of all radio and TV stations. And planes will be flying into Baghdad airport like it was O'Hare.

[PsyOps]

scary. Why order your troops out of Bag?
1. Engage the attacker
2. Clear out before something is deployed?

[AFPhys]

C'mon - how hard can it be for them to find 72 virgins? That's all they need - no Koran ever said everybody would get their own 72 - they'll share 'em. ... o'course then they probably wouldn't be virgins, unless ... can you say April Fool?

It's going both ways. Fox's graphic on the bottom is blocking the view of the traffic going hte other way. They are near the bottom hooking right. BUT, it is more traffic going the other way. :)

[null and void]

I don't want to see the statue bombed or shot by one of our tanks. I want to see Iraqi's climbing it and shoving it over - ala the Lenin statues in 1989.

Agreed. It's IMPORTANT.

[Sacajaweau]

The Iraqi troops found out the Paymaster left town!! They're on their own.

In another 10 minutes, the goodguys will be "within"... lol.

[mhking]

Switching back to CBS from NTV (they're playing with tape and yammering at each other again)...

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Lonnnnngggg line of vehicles with lights on moving past...?
