Not much consolation when all twelve (or even half) are pointed at you.
Keep pulling the trigger until he stops moving.

I read that Iraq had well over a thousand tanks, although some were older models.

I wonder if Baghdad Bob is aware that his schtick is now as ubiquitous as Monty Python's on the net. He has elevated himself into the realm of the Immortals.

Iraqi Information Minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf, speaking to reporters Tuesday said,
"Saddam would very much like here to be but had to take Shiite, then Ba'ath."
To: ewing
"I am deeply saddened, deeply saddened that victory by US forces has taken away a major campaign issue."
To: PMCarey
Now that you mention it, yes. hehe

They must be speaking of "Army" in the sense that we use "Army" as an element above Corps.
They have more tanks than 400.

How can you tell you have an Iraqi tank?
It has a dead goat hanging from the rear view mirror as an air freshener.

I read that Iraq had well over a thousand tanks, although some were older models. Well, this article only deals with 'Initial Tanks'... that's a special kind of Tank...
