GOTTA SEE THIS - War for Enduring Freedom 4/8/03 - Presidential Thunder Run, Baghdad

BREAKING: Presidential palace - Thunder Run
BREAKING: Baghdad - Sahaf press conference interrupted
BREAKING: South Baghdad - Behind Enemy Lines

---

========= Baghdad =========

At the presidential palace. Incoming.

---

=========== Behind Enemy Lines ===========

At the presidential palace, as US troops advance,
Iraqi soldiers run. Those black figures in the foreground running.along the Tigris River
under supressive fire from coalition tanks are not ants, but terrorists. Local shock and awe.

---

Terrorist controlled Baghdad..

---

=========== Presidential Thunder Run ===========

Entering the presidential palace, US forces take a prize from the terrorists.

---

Later, at the presidential palace.

---

In Baghdad, at the international --Coalition controlled-- airport.

---

=========== Behind Enemy Lines ===========

GEEZER ALERT

Utterly insane in Baghdad
Iraqi Information Minister Mohammed Saeed al Sahaf calls a conference.
The terrorist geezers in control explain to the docile press [at the Palestinian hotel]
that the US is losing. However, this particular piece of BS PR is interrupted by Coalition forces
knocking on the terrorists' door. Duck and cover, Mr. Terrorist.

---

========= South Baghdad Near Battle lines=========

=========== Behind Enemy Lines ===========

One US tank was taken by what the Iraqis boast is Russian technology.
Much soon-to-be-ephemeral hubris in these terrorists. So much for trusting Putin.

---

---

NOTA BENE: COALITION ALERT

Fleeing terrorists dressed in civilian clothes like in Southern Iraq

---

========= Baghdad =========

Outside Baghdad, securing the key bridge into Baghdad.

I love it! Especially the picture at #2 of the GIs taking a break in Saddam's chairs,

[eleni121]

Unbelievable and yet this is it! These are the images that hold us enraptured - that tell a story far beyond what the videos tell us.

BTW - what an absolutely gorgeous, brave, bunch of Marine heroes hanging in Saddam's throne room!

[eleni121]

Look who's gonna be hanging now...Sadaam!

Can I start the bidding for this photo?

It almost appears like he is staring down the barrel.

Requesting obligatory picture of Algore doing exactly that...

[NautiNurse]

Roger that:

[Argus]

Ya think the Marines could come and liberate us Republicans living in NYC some time?

And when they're finished there, could they come to LA?

[knak]

that's the absolute best one! Screensaver worthy.

Proverbs 28:8 - He who augments his wealth by interest and increase gathers it for him who is kind to the poor.

Proverbs 22:16 - He who oppresses the poor to increase his own wealth, or gives to the rich, will only come to want.

Re Gift of the People of the USA

Proverbs 19:17 - He who is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will repay him for his deed.

[Rightly Biased]

A NEVER HAPPY WITH THE MEDAI'S REPORTING BUMP FOR FREEDOM

I chucked when our soldiers helped themselves to souveniers (pillows, ashtrays) from the Palace

If this was a NY bar the troops would be arrested.

I didn't know the new mayor had his own army.
