Along with the article is a photo captioned "Iraqi soldiers stand on top of a destroyed US tank on the outskirts of Baghdad on Sunday."

That would be one of the tanks the Iraqis claim is no where near Baghdad.

Wow... nice journalistic method here. Quote Baghdad Bob and not get our side of the story which would basically be that Bob is full o' crap. Al Jazeera blows.

The Middle East is going to need the mother of all psychiatrist's couches to deal with what happens when we win...

Question: Is ALGORE the "Al" in "Al's-Jizzeria" ?

[BenLurkin]

Isn't Bob McDermott "Baghdad Bob"?

[Skooz]

Wow. This is almost as slanted as ABC News.

[TomGuy]

Awwwwww

Are you kidding? These people are so delusional that they still think they kicked our ass in Gulf War I and that Kuwait is still a part of Iraq.

[Straight Vermonter]

The truly sad thing about this is that the misinformation emboldens others in the middle east to go up against the US. Only when the "Arab street" realizes they must be fearful of American military might, and out President's absolute willingness to use it, will we be at peace.

It's amazing what you can do with Photoshop.

Kelly did say they abandoned 1 tank and destroyed it. That is the tank they are gloating over.

"One hour later President Saddam Hussein came to congratulate us and asked us to fight until the end," he said. Khoder, wearing civilian attire but armed with a Kalashnikov assault rifle and with ammunition strapped across his chest, said there were four men and one woman inside the tank. "They're all dead," Khoder said.

SO according to these mental midgets, the M1's have 5 person crews and females.

Yeah right!!

said there were four men and one woman inside the tank. "They're all dead," Khoder said.

That's an interesting imagination he has.

[mewzilla]

Yeah, but reality is going to bite sooner rather than later. They're going to be living right next door to it.
