That's what I keep thinking, too, every time I hear that loud rumbling - must be a tank.

I don't know if it really is, but it's an exciting thought!

[Mo1]

From Greg Kelly's description, they may be on the Baghdad cam real soon

WOW !!! .. I couldn't hear because of Shep

[Fledermaus]

Do tanks get the right of way at the round about? :-)

[nicmarlo]

Can you imagine his press brief tommorrow?

ROFL: What you're hearing is ALL AN ILLUSION.....it's not real....we have memorex playing in background...

: )

Ping to #8.
As someone pointed out
it's not the Special Republican Guard
it is the Elite Republican Guard
Saddam's personal bodyguard
the Tikriti gang.

[Abigail Adams]

Any details on the bathroom thing? How about the shower thing? I'd hate to be sitting in a tank with those guys after a couple of weeks.

[commish]

Tanks get the right of way anywhere they want!

[Tree of Liberty]

Fox - Levanthal standing a little ways away from outgoing mortars. They're "registering targets". There are some white trucks out in the distance.

[MEG33]

Yes.

[nicmarlo]

night, gop.....meet you in Baghdad, tomorrow!

[commish]

THay have those little handiwipe towelettes .. that is what they "Shower" with.

[Fledermaus]

it's not the Special Republican Guard it is the Elite Republican Guard

That's like going from Cub Scout to Webelos.

[Mo1]

people are emailing asking how Rick goes to the bathroom out there?

Oh Geeez ... he is a guy .. these people with emails need to use their imagination

[fiesti]

seems like a lot of traffic out there with a war just a few blocks away

[SoldiersGirl]

when you stink, you don't notice the stink of others.

It's a stink of love :-)

US Army Tanks Roll Into Baghdad

I can't wait to see one roll by the bag cam!

[Robert A Cook PE]

D**M!

Can you image the difference in the "fog of war"!

Here, we "see" nterbationally a SINGLE bomb blast, estimate the distance, and determine how far the camera is from the blast and sound .... THEN CURSE THE FACT THAT CAMEA IS TURNED THE WRONG DIRECTION!

(Or that we don't know if a single POW has gunshot wounds or not...)

110 years ago, it took 3 months for the British Queen to just find out that the entire state of INDIA had revolted!

[STARWISE]

Didn't see that .. but why in God's name are people driving around?? You'd think they'd be hiding and protecting themselves .. any clues?

[magslinger]

Except the cub scouts and webelos have adult supervision.

[SoldiersGirl]

I hope Rick translates what that marine just said.
