ha.. now we need to get the reporters at CENTCOM?

David Chater says our tank shot the hotel.

[SirAllen]

Yeah, notice the small holes in the patio bottom and the roof of the floor pictured. Looks like an explosive went off inside or on the patio causing projectiles to go through the floors and roof - definitly not from something coming from the exterior. Also, what's that rope for?

[BagCamAddict]

I hope they get a closeup of Baghdad Bob's butt....

To see if Monkeys are flying out of it??

"The Americans will be in Baghdad when Monkeys.... "

[leadpenny]

He may have well said, "We are cleverly forcing the Coalition Forces to stick a boot up our a$$."

[SirAllen]

David Chater is an anti-war, anti-US, and anti-Brit piece of crap. I wouldn't believe a single thing he said. He wants us to lose.

[this_ol_patriot]

Yeah but then he said he didn't actually see the tank shoot only the barrel pointed in his direction.

[Tree of Liberty]

Fox - Simon Marks reports that the hit was on the 16th Floor (showing video of somone being taken out in a blanket). Two prominant journalists injured (Samir Lakul, female, ). Polish Cameraman injured, and a still cameraman injured.

[leadpenny]

Wow. It looks like Michael Jackson is holding his kid out the window at the Palestine. I need sleep.

[BagCamAddict]

No, the cameras were only off intermittently for a few minutes at a time. Tech. problem, imo.

I'm referring to 24 hours ago. Not today.

[Tree of Liberty]

Fox - Simon Marks says Iraqi commanders getting ready to repulse the U.S. Fedaheen getting ready to attack. "Getting ready to deal with them the right way." "we're beginning to suround them" "They're getting hysterical and starting to hit civilian targets"

[Tree of Liberty]

Above post was supposed to say "bagdad Bob says"

[Mo1]

MSNBC is saying that Chater saw a tank on the bridge pointing at the hotel and that is why he thinks it shot at the hotel

Doesn't sound like he actually saw the tank fire a shot

[Timesink]

Don't these people realize that WE, their VIEWERS, do not consider mere reporters and their associated hangers-on to be gods? They're certainly nowhere near as important as even a single soldier.

[Tree of Liberty]

I'm referring to the same time period.

[hmmmmm]

It will be interesting, in light of Chater's "report", to see which side of the hotel was hit.

Fox playing the Baghdad Bob tape

[this_ol_patriot]

Reporters moment of truth..we can get hurt or maybe killed here, this is a war...

US: may be snipers in rooms journalists should hang out white sheets from their windows. Sky News

[EaglesUpForever]

What did he say?

[SirAllen]

Great, that moron is just helping this to look worse by spreading pure crap.
