**After scooping its cable news rivals CNN and MSNBC with footage of troops entering Baghdad and then later storming Saddam International Airport, a Fox reporter, Greg Kelly, and his cameraman had the dress circle view yesterday as a column of US 3rd Infantry division tanks took a tour of Baghdad landmarks.

Starting at Saddam Hussein's main presidential palace, viewers were afforded footage of gold-plated wash basins and waterfalls, and a US soldier hoisting a Georgia University pennant.

Then onto Baghdad's parade grounds and their giant crossed sabres commemorating the Iraq-Iran war. US soldiers mugged for the camera and held up the stars and stripes while Kelly did live crosses with Fox anchors in Washington.

Then came the coup de grace: the destruction of the iconic statue of Saddam astride a steed to cheers from the US soldiers.**

This was great coverage.

BTW, the writer did not seem to mention MSNBC------Hmmmm.

BTW, the writer did not seem to mention MSNBC

I was watching the Fox coverage a couple of nights ago, and MSNBC was running a tribute to Bloom at the same time Fox was showing live reports in front of one of Saddam's palaces. No doubt Bloom deserved the tribute, but Fox had the news that night, and my attention.
