I was wondering why MSNBC would put up this camera tool on the internet tonight if their reporters didn't know for sure that our troops are going in tonight?? Unless they get a kick out checking their logs and knowing that millions of people across the nation are staring stupidly at a martian-colored video caption with occasional cars dancing across the screen.

They might just be testing out the link tonight to see how it works.

For me the novelty is in seeing and hearing simultaneously a place that's halfway around the world on essentially live TV.

It's the technology, not the content.

We have trafficams in this country all over, but having the sound added to it, really adds to the overall effect.

This was reinforced by the call to prayer.

If you think back to how novel it was to have Bernie broadcasting live with a night vision camera from Baghdad back in 1991 and seeing the AAA going off in the sky, this is just as novel to me except that after a while it will be like watching paint dry. That is, until the planes start flying and our troops start dropping in.
