Isn't making this announcement a good way to get them killed? Or is this more Psy Ops?

These locations are on the "outskirts of Baghdad." Special Ops coming and going without any resistance. Still have to push inward some perhaps.

Mike Tobin of Fox says he pressed CentCom to say just how much in control SpecOps were of these facilities. CentCom replied that they are able to come and go as they please. That sounds to me like Baghdad is ours.

Additional Breaking!

Special ops have been going to and fro at will in parts of Baghdad. They have entered into Presidential palaces unchallenged. Other areas as well.

This announcement suggests how far advanced Spec Ops guys are along.

It is also of course psy ops. But likely to be true.

They are trying to break the will of the Iraqi soldiers to fight. Those soldiers will know the state of their command and control.

If they know that US spec ops have control and that the 3rd division is parked on your doorstep, and that the US has total air supriority...then...

Mike Tobin -- Into Ba'ath party HQ, Presidental palaces of Saddam Hussein from SW Baghdad in the outskirts of the city. They went in and enountered no resistance, and left. Can return at any time. Getting indications that regime and military is collapsing.

Bath party headquarters and Presidential Palaces S/W of city have been entered. They went in and returned, and can go back at any time. The Iraqi regime appears to be collapsing.

This may be what Rumsfeld was talking about when he said Baghdad would fall from within, the reporter said.

Too bad that our troops are "bogged down" in this 21st Century Vietnam War redux.

Saddam Hussein is caught in public for the first time since 03/23/03.

Iraqi leadership has yet to confirm these were him.

This must be utterly humiliating to all the Islamofascists of the world who thought that Iraq would be America's Vietnam. The Iraqi Army hasn't even put up a credible fight. They haven't even held out as long as the F---ing FRENCH did!

Toyota truck versus M1A1 tank. Tank wins. Unless of course you're filled to the brim with explosives.

Thanks! I'm gonna get in trouble now! I was trying to figure the pic out at work and then happened to scroll to the caption. It got me laughing so much I was crying! Not a good thing when you're typing/doing newscasts...!

I especially liked the rabbit. Wonder if some Iraqi family made stew...

No it isn't. The Middle Eastern media has fed them a steady stream of Iraqi pseudo victories. Saddam is winning. Are they in for a shock when Al Jazeria goes live there and films American troops driving through Baghdad waving and yelling "hi mom."
