Fox reporting Al Jazeera's Baghdad office was bombed.

have a friend who served in Gulf War I.... he told me that the plane the Iraqis most feared was the A-10. They called them the "flying crosses!"

They couldn't see the B-52's. US military is supreme. We're exersizing a fraction of our capacity. It'll do us well to not get greedy or cocky.

good question. I have color bars and it says ABC London. Not sure what's up.

Everyone's taking everyone else's feeds. I think all the networks agreed to share all tape and feeds on this before the war started. Just tonight I watched a British reporter's story on Brit Hume, then switched over to NBC Nightly News at 6:30 and saw the same piece 10 minutes later.

I'm so glad the Wathog wasn't hit disastrously by a SAM on TV, those were flares to steer a heatseeking missle away, he prbably pumped foil chaff as well, I have lots and lots of militatary models, the A-10 is one of them. Plus I have 2 M1 Abrams, T-72 and a bunch of others. The pilot of the A-19 actually sits in a titatium "bathtub" that can stop 25mm shells, they are one tough ugly bird, a deadly bird fer shure.

Fox reporting Al Jazeera's Baghdad office was bombed.

What a shame.

[Consort]

Pay-per-view webcams on-demand?

[CurlyBill]

Me too... It's time for some FReepin sleepin!

[pitinkie]

Yes Boo Hoo

[Hunble]

Why thank you for telling me which of the freaking 20 webcams are actually working.

Why is that such a difficult question? I want the audio!

[SirAllen]

Al-Jazeera taken out! About time, only 20 days late....

[melodie]

bummer....sigh

[Timesink]

ITS not tape , I,m on the live Baghdad cam, been on it all evening and watched it get daylight.

There is no one "Baghdad cam." There are a number of them. The NTV cam has been running tape for at least a solid half hour.

I CAN PROMISE YOU IT WASNT TAPED
