Check out Fox. Detailed footage of our troops going straight into the heart of Bagdad. It's GREAT!!

Hey "Beret Boy" WHO'S YOUR BAGDADDY???

"Downtown, where all the lights are bright" Sing it Petula!

[PISANO]

Footage is from last night (early morning in Baghdad) was watching it as it happened with Shep of Fox News. Amazing footage and ONLY FOX has it.

[Mr.Clark]

FOX is all over these other networks. Their video has been unbelievable. Did anyone else see that picture of the Iraqi army truck coming at the convoy, and you could see the .50's blasting through the window? That was amazing.

[PokeyJoe]

hmmmm....

[ABG(anybody but Gore)]

My favorite was the wannabe martyr who comes barreling up the road in a Toyota sedan, trying to ram the tracks, misses, and runs smack dab into the guard rail.

[BOBTHENAILER]

and you could see the .50's blasting through the window? That was amazing.

I saw that as well, and it was amazing.

We just got hit with two days of severe winter storm in N Mich....freezing rain and hail at first,,,hitting the windows hard.

Nothing like the "hard rain fallin'" on the windows of that truck when the .50's went screaming thru it.

[Neenah]

Listen..."Downtown"

[Thebaddog]

Was that an American tank disabled that they threw the grenade into?

[BOBTHENAILER]

Hey "Beret Boy" WHO'S YOUR BAGDADDY???

ROFLMAO

With your permission, I might use that saying in the coming days.

Who's your Badhdaddy?

How you like me now mustache monkey?

[sirchtruth]

and runs smack dab into the guard rail.

What was so hilarious about that is the troops seem so uninterested and unconcerned. I was thinking how unbelievably dipthonged the Martyrs are, and incredibly restained those troops have to be not just to have blown that vehicle to Kingdom Come.

BTW, the B-52s (temporarily banned by some MTV venues) do a cover of Petula Clark's classic.

And now, for something completely different

Downtown - Lloyd Cold

i want to take you down to the side of the city
where the sun doesn't shine and the moon isn't pretty
the slow train crawls in the nights and the days
are as warm as the smoke and the heat haze
yes and neon here twenty-four hours of the day
and you're sure looking pretty when it's hitting on your face
looker on the corner take that dog for a donor
well she's only doing what her mother told her

i...i wanna take you down
i wanna take you down
i wanna take you right down
i...i wanna take you down
i wanna take you down
i wanna take you right down

i want to see a touch of evil in your eye
but all that i'm getting babe is sweetness and lies
i want to see something that i might desire
i want to take you down babe into the mire
deals going down no chance no masking
one thing's for sure never get what you're asking
they're coming with johnsons, they're coming with knives
they're robbing your boots when they give you a shoe shine

i...i wanna take you down
i wanna take you down
i wanna take you right down
i...i wanna take you down
i wanna take you down
i wanna take you right downtown

slow train down, babe, try twenty-nine
there's no looking back when there's no sense of time
'cause it's neon here twenty-four hours of the day
and you're sure looking pretty when it's hitting on your face
with a touch of evil in your eye
with a touch of evil in your eye
i want to take you down to the side of the city
i want to take you down to the blur of the city

i...i wanna take you down
i wanna take you down
i wanna take you right down
i...i wanna take you down
i wanna take you down
yes i wanna take you right down
i...i...i...i wanna take you
i...i...i...i wanna take you
i...yes i wanna take you right downtown

[Interesting Times]

FOX is all over these other networks.

There are other networks?

[itsinthebag]

Was that an American tank disabled that they threw the grenade into?

I saw that too. Someone on FNC commented that it had overheated from so much firing. Is that possible?

[lilylangtree]

One of my favorite songs--even more so now.

[Thebaddog]

I think that it was shot up. I heard about a fatality on the mission so that might have been the site.

That was a hell of a show. Makes me proud all over again for about the hundredth time this week

[vigilante2]

I think it became disabled from enemy fire so they destroyed it..

[Neenah]

Reminder to Self:

NEVER use Tripod for anything !!

Try it again

I happened to channel surf past the PBS channel last night and caught about 30 seconds of a Bill Moyers bit ... he was talking to the editor of a magazine that caters to journalists ... his question was, "Fox news has basically become the mouthpiece for the administration ... is there a danger when jingoism replaces journalism?"

Resisting the urge to puke, I continued surfing.

[BOBTHENAILER]

Makes me proud all over again for about the hundredth time this week

You and me both. I think vigilante 2 had the right answer to the question you asked earlier. I heard one of our fatalities was a tank driver. God bless him and his family and all of these magnificent troops..
