Two blasts near Iraq Info Ministry, planes overhead

BAGHDAD, April 8 (Reuters) - Two loud explosions shook an area near the Iraqi Information Ministry on Tuesday as U.S. planes were seen flying overhead, a Reuters witness said.

"They have hit a target near the Information Ministry and black smoke is now rising into the sky," reporter Samia Nakhoul said. "Planes are flying very low overhead. The sound of fighting is very loud and seems to be intensifying."

Noooooooooo! He brings such comic relief! Besides, he is no threat! Wish we could just snatch him out of there, and he could have a late-night talk show on TV. He could talk about the inner workings of the Hussein regime, tortures, etc. It would be great!

Like Yakov Smirnoff! "What a country."

In America, you can march in a peace rally and no-one will kill your children.. What a country!

In America, you can call the president bad names and keep your tongue. What a country!

I was watching Brand X TV when the plane came into view and the then jet drowned out the voice. A "General" said it was a F18...

This is the only Iraqi who's trial I want to see.

No your mercenary honor, I am obviously not here therefore I cannot be tried in this bastard court. I am in Great and safe Baghdad having a cup of tea and celebrating our great victory over the mongrel sick in their brains dog lackeys of Satan. In fact, this afternoon I will have the honor of serving as President Saddam Hussein's personal footstool and toe hair trimmer and will not be in this illusionary so-called court you dirty sons of camels.
