I think they said that Baghdad is as big a Los Angeles.

No joking...In the more built up camps, they have a community bathroom, it's a long box (inside a wood type room) with holes cut in the top...the guys sit so close together when they poop they even share the newspaper. The urinal is right next to the poop box (poop, I have kids, can you tell?) that if you look to your right you have a shlong in your face.

That's better than the stories I heard about the heads aboard old ships...

Basically, it was an open trough with seawater running down it, over which sailors would sit. Every once in a while, some joker at the head of the flow would light some TP on fire and float it down the stream...

Hahaha! You're right but I'll bet it's their own little bouncy head Saddam.

"The Iraqi Military web site shows that Helen Thomas is embedded in the Republican Guard Southern Corps ...

Either we have a military tribunal for him, or we hand him over to a new Iraqi republican govn't. An international court would be a farce.

I vote for the Iraqi people to take care of Saddam .. after 25+ years .. the Iraqi people will give him the justice that he deserves

[mrsalty]

I heard today, it is as big as Las Angeles. 5 Million people

[Chummy]

Give him the Ceacescu or Mussolini treatment

[Texas Tea]

I say hang him up like a pinata(sic) and have each and every citizen have at least one whack at him.

He does it on purpose! Every night, after the hour for buying beer in Texas, he reminds us -- and I don't have anything in the house but Lite!

I'm gonna leave myself a note this time, dangit...

But wait -- I have some Tito's and a shot glass in the freezer! Life is good again...

I'd say about 13mi, north to south. Here's some maps of the city.

[socal_parrot]

Baghdad= 97 sq. mi.

LA= 467 sq. mi.

Thanks HGC ..

Chummy .. I was asking area/size .. I was trying to picture in my head how long it might take before we see the troops rolling down the hignway on the Bagdad cam

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

I guess the media gave us the wrong info. It wouldn't be the first time.

[bornintexas]

You would think that they would have weapons if we were hoping they would revolt against saddam and his regime.

[goldstategop]

Its about as large as Los Angeles with a total population of 5 million.
