How soon after the strike did Andrea Mitchell's story break? A long time. Fox said the bombing was 2PM Baghdad time, which would be 6AM EDT. First announcement was after 9PM EDT, so it was at least 15 hours.

Well, I guess 15 hours is long enough after the strike to have the strike video, but the military has to release it first, of course.
Very sloppy, FOX.

The Washington Times (via Drudge) talks about 3 PM Baghdad time, Fox has now said 2 PM Baghdad time (is somebody having 1-hour off problems with daylight savings time?). Fox was showing the Abu Dhabi TV clip of a series of huge nighttime explosions, and just recently mentioned that it could not have been the actual attack because the actual one took place during daylight. But MSNBC is still replaying the night bombing clip.

It sounds like the news was timed for the sunrise in Baghdad.

If your timeline is correct, then it strikes me as highly likely we got the SOB.
If Iraq's leadership existed in any way, shape, or form, then they would have jumped on this bombing within an hour or two for propaganda purposes, saying we targetted civilians.
15 hours and they didn't suggests they couldn't.
