I don't see the names of the POWs shown on TV from that raid, so hopefully they are still alive.

[Consort]

One of Saddam's enemies cursed him to die a thousand deaths — he's now in the high 900s.

[nicmarlo]

Filling up toilets...lol, good answer.

[Tree of Liberty]

I doubt we'll see any names until next of kin are notified.

[Clean_Sweep]

I think these are the same cars going in circles to make it look like things are normal. Now way are all this people just driving around.

[Timeout]

I wish we had the same cameras CENTCOM has. They must be getting an eyeful tonight!

[section9]

Don't count your chickens...

Believe me, I'm not. I said "relative" ease. This ain't Stalingrad: at least, not yet.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

I'm hoping so, too.....this just kills me; it's bad enough to lose soldiers in combat, quite another thing when they're executed....just makes me sick.

[goldstategop]

Now THAT'S Shock and Awe. Even Robert Fisk must be stunned at how the Americans have done what every talking head said they wouldn't do for another few weeks: drive straight into the beast's lair. The war could well be over by the end of the month.

[Tree of Liberty]

Toilets must be Arabic for "pants"

[unspun]

Keep us Foxless viewers posted!

[Tree of Liberty]

Point taken

[Chummy]

You mean the ones looking into the sleep chambers of Saddam's goons?

Oh, gosh, did I cause them some paranoia?

[nicmarlo]

Really sad about the 507th deaths

Their families have been crying all night....they were probably visited yesterday....very sad, indeed.

[Socratic]

You don't even have to open the box. Sooner or later, that cat is going to be dead!

[GOPyouth]

The names of the POWs shown on TV:

Supply Specialist Edgar Hernandez
Sgt. James Riley
Spc. Shoshana Johnson
Pfc. Patrick Miller
Spc. Joseph Hudson

[bornintexas]

Hey! They finally showed pictures of Iraqi citizens gettin' out of town.

[magslinger]

I hope we catch him alive with a broken neck, and give him the very best medical care for years. But I am a little vicious.

[Tree of Liberty]

Who's reporting that?

[Timeout]

I saw that....but there was also traffic driving INTO town?

Who are those guys?
