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.


Please spend a few hours today helping for success in the War for Enduring Freedom,
or/and post your thought, missive, picture, thread, analysis, greetings to those serving overseas,
venting, update, correction, observation, or anything else of interest.


END OF TRANSMISSION 4/8/03 .......... K

Smoking indoors? Isn't that against the rules? If this was a NY bar the troops would be arrested.

Awesome pictures Dio, thanks for the ping. Your photo essay work since 9/11 has been incredible!

I suspect darkness in Baghdad will be the real test of our night-vision capabilities. Pray for our troops and pray for technology!

Ezekiel 25:17

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish, and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and goodwill, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down on thee with great vengence and furious anger, those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers, and you will know my name is The Lord when I lay my vengence upon thee.

"He ain't much of host."
"No. We come all this way to visit, and he don't even show up to say 'Hi'."
"Yeh, well, wonder if he minds if I take a shower?"

Wait until you get a load of the bathrooms--gold fixtures, the whole bit.

Let's just hope our troops know what a bidet is, otherwise they're going to get a face full of water :-))

DO NOT BUMP IF YOU ARE HAPPY WITH HOW THE MEDIA IS REPORTING THIS WAR FOR ENDURING FREEDOM.

Considering that I'm not at all happy with CNN, I'll bump away.

Shaking out the dust mites.

An unidentified man tears down a poster of Saddam Hussein in Basra Monday April 7, 2003, after the British Desert Rats and Royal Marines launched two waves of attacks Sunday, in their effort to control the city. Troops are reporting 'patchy resistance' from isolated pockets of militia, light fire, and rocket-propelled grenades.
