RC, what's going on at the airport? I've been away. Is it soldiers, civs or what that we are fighting out there?

thanks Prairie

We're not hearing many updates, prairie. ABC embed's supposed to be on the tarmac, but ABC was showing soaps. Satellite hook-ups aren't allowed according to Ollie - who's 8 miles from the airport and called our bombing of the airport "the most awesome display of aerial firepower that I've ever seen."

Some Iraqi nuts were driving around w/ megaphones telling the Iraqi people to go to the airport.

Stay tuned...

Ive been connecting the dots, so to speak.

Remember a few nights ago, when Fox reported that the Pentagon said that the "Iraqi regime would fall from within, not without". The other key statement that night was "we know who is with us and who is not."

We reach the outskirts of Baghdad.

The lights go out in the ENTIRE CITY! (Not just one or 2 grids). And according to another thread, they've gone our in Najaf as well. DOD and CENTCOM say no COALITION action caused that.

The wierdness at the airport.

I'm going to go out on a limb. Our getting to the outskirts of Baghdad set off a trip wire, but NOT THE ONE WE WERE WORRIED ABOUT. It was a signal to "those who are with us".

I think a coup is afoot.

I know it's far-fetched, but we'll know come morning light.
