``We must chose the means and methods that tear off the ranks of the enemy and give him no chance to take his breath.''

Code..?

tear off the ranks of the enemy and give him no chance to take his breath.''

He's confused. He meant "take off every zig," and "you have no chance, make your time."

Well, if power is out it's pretty easy to radio-locate back-up power supplies and a lot of live wiring.

"We must chose the means and methods that tear off the ranks of the enemy and give him no chance to take his breath."

If this means what I think it means, it will be a huge mistake form them to make. But it could be merely more of the same tiresome, poor-grade Iraqi trash talking.

They keep hitting the palaces to also keep the bad guys away from the area.....so we can go in! Today, special-ops got some great information out of one of them.

[blam]

They'll still be airing these old Saddam films ten years from now from some clandistine site.

"HUGE BLASTS ROCK BAGHDAD"

Man, is this getting repetitious or what?

So what else is new?

When are we gonna get some REAL NEWS?

Sorry to seem so impatient, but I would really like to see this thing resolved.

If Rummy and friends have their way, the more the reconstruction costs, the more their wallets will benefit.

As just as this action is, just remember, there are some that stand to make a bundle on the clean-up.

Those who study the Illuminati will understand where I am coming from.

> Baghdad was dark, with power out for the first time ...

What's really astonishing about this is not that we waited
so long, or didn't take down the grid at the outset, but
that the Iraqi's didn't do so themselves.

In WW-II, "blackout" was the rule of the day, err, night,
that is, so as not to make it easy for the enemy to bomb
in the dark.

I guess in the age of PGMs, blackout is now passe'
(oops, as is French, sorry).

[Thinkin' Gal]

It might as well be Babelfish.

[Fester Chugabrew]

Much has been made about the electrical blackout. Maybe it's just a primitive way for the enema to keep the city less visible at night. After all, we are dealing with some backasswards folks here.

[MississippiMan]

I'm beginning to wonder if perhaps Information Minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf is the highest ranking Iraqi official left, if he's in fact running the show. We're hearing an awful lot out of him.

**Saddam hasn't delivered a speech live on television since March 24. When asked about the president, Iraqi Trade Minister Mohammed Mehdi Saleh laughed.

``I think you have seen his picture,'' he said, referring to the footage. ``He is very calm, confident.''**

I think the coalition will be the ones who will be laughing. <sarcasm off/
