FoxNews Alert just reported that Iraqi troops have left Baghdad with heavy artillary and are heading south to the Kuwaiti boarder. More troops with SCUD missle launchers are heading west. The thought is that Saddam is about to attack our troops.

This is breaking news and details are few and far between.

TURN ON FOX

"My cable doesn't carry FOX and my husband won't get me a dish..."

Your husbands no dope. What do you want 172 news channels all spinning the same story?

[Chad Fairbanks]

A Series Hugh Bump!

[DoughtyOne]

Frankly I'm focusing on 250,000 US troops in the area.

[Jim Noble]

Are we really in Kuwait?

[Dog Gone]

I am quite confident that no Scud missile launchers are leaving Baghdad. They wouldn't have been hidden there, and Saddam certainly isn't going to display them going down the road in front of reporters and our spy satellites.

[Sparta]

Whoop-ass time.

[clamboat]

I thought Blix said Iraq has no scuds.What a stupid Idiot

That's the second time someone has said this on this thread. Does anyone have a source for this statement? Why would Blix say anything about SCUDS - they are not banned weapons, are they? They certainly travel less than the 95 mile limit...

You're upsetting everyone. Please, stop it. [Snicker]

: )

[Dog]

LOL!

[StriperSniper]

Now O'Reilly is on.

And of course he has to say "American children have to be protected by the federal government."

I guess he has given up on parents.

Obviously forces are moving but there has been no attack. But Sadaam is at least positioning to inflict losses on us. For all our bravado here, we don't want our forces taking artillery fire. And if its chemical or biological, even worse. It appears at the very least Sadaam realizes just defending Bagdhad won't work.

Welcome back!

He's out here in L.A.. Maybe the smog is affecting him. It's pretty bad today.

[Jhoffa_]

He's become quite the populist..

Our very own political version of Jerry Springer.

[Chad Fairbanks]

Hey! Isn't addam supposed to go to the UN first? Why is he unilaterally deciding to attack???? Huh? Where are the dirty smelly hippies NOW?

[InspiredPath1]

Why are we even still trying?

Damn! How frightning! Do you think he'll give our troops a chance to surrender? LOL!!!!

If true, I don't see where this is a laughing matter.
Based on the previous Gulf War, a surprise first strike is Saddam's only real chance at inflicting heavy U.S. casualties.
Either way, he knows he's toast. He's just trying to give us a bloody nose before he goes down in a blaze of "glory".

I don't like this development one bit.

[Orangedog]

FOX isn't doing real news either tonight. More tabloid crap.

[Dog Gone]

They certainly travel less than the 95 mile limit...

Even the earliest versions of the Scud travelled further than that, which is why the limit on Iraqi rockets was set at that level.

[ATCNavyRetiree]

Yeeeeeaaaah--bunch up reeaall close together and we'll drop a MOAB on yo heads!! Looks like our warriors on the Bird Farms (carriers) will be running some Sorties (missions) tonight!!!!! (I guess it is almost daylight over there!)
