Just overheard a CNN reporter (Nic Robertson?)reporting that folks inside Baghdad tell him that Iraqi government officials are driving around near the airport, using loudspeakers to urge civlians to leave their houses and go toward the airport to fight the infidels. According to Robertson's sources, people are acutually heading out there...

saddams suicide bombers are going to mix it up with the civies. This Iraqi government is playing another terror card. I hope we warn the civilians off, or else well have to kill them all.

Maybe, but we are saying we didn't cause the blackout, and an atrocity during a blackout could be convenient since they wouldn't have pictures of who actually did the deed.
Plus they kicked out AlJazeera, so no Arab TV to report.

How reliable was the FNC source I saw earlier today. Female Iraqi judge who claims that a phone call to her Aunt who lives in Baghdad, revealed that they, along with ALL their neighbors, were being "protected" by soldiers who were in their homes.

They will die.

If this is true it sounds like a strategy of pure desperation.
I hope it's a good indication that the Iraqi authorities have no actual plan or ability to defend Bagdad.
And yes, just like other people here I pity anyone who charges at the U. S. military -- it's sad, but sometimes it's hard to protect people from the consequences of their own stupidity.

Are you sure that isn't the Americans driving around with a loudspeaker trying to bait the Saddam loyalists into committing suicide?

Reminds me of the siren in the original version of the movie, THE TIME MACHINE.

Even if one was stupid enough to believe this, they would have to ask themselves how the the US got here so fast if they weren't even within 100 miles of Baghdad as the information minister just told them a couple of hours ago.

Remember all those American uniforms they obtained? Perfect time to put 'em on, on a day when the US arrives, and start killing and film it for purposes of Arab propaganda.
Wouldn't matter how much we prove it wasn't us, many in the Middle East wouldn't believe us.

On Monday former president George Bush threw out the first pitch at the Cincinnati reds game. Now CNN is reporting that the ball missed the catcher, killed 5 Iraqi civilians and destroyed a baby milk factory.

OMG! And the siren in "The Time Machine" was used by the evil mole people to summon the innocent and foolish surface people to their deaths. That's a great analogy--tragically.

Didn't we just hear a statement by the Iraqi government that they still had complete control of the airport, and that the allies weren't within a hundred miles of Baghdad?
