The lack of fire and missiles make me wonder about Saddam's health

[slimer]

A revealing line from where's Raed

"The radio plays war songs from the 80’s non-stop. We know them all by heart. Driving thru Baghdad now singing along to songs saying things like “we will be with you till the day we die Saddam” was suddenly a bit too heavy, no one gave that line too much thought but somehow these days it is sounds sinister."

no minders for fox greg kelley
what about cnn

[The Wizard]

this scumbag thinks he has what it takes to be President...good grief

[Timeout]

That reminds me, why can't we beam TV pics into Baghdad? I know we've co-opted radio, but why not TV?

[TSgt]

Forgive me. Has anything significant happened after 4:00 p.m. EST? I've been following this rabidly until 4:00 p.m..

No shock and awe?

Thanks much,

Mike

Fox - cool weather in South Iraq right now

[The Wizard]

many believe Saddam is dead Fox News

[Jorge]

He is a diabolical character, for sure. Do you pray?

Every day. That the Lord will give GW and other leaders wisdom...and protect the lives of our troops...and make this as bloodless a war as possible. Yes...I pray.

So many people are praying for our troops, our country and Pres. that they broke the Presidential Prayer Team website.

That gives me more peace than anything I've heard. God I love this country!

Our guys are well-trained, motivated, smart..with faith in leaders who honor their service. Have faith. We owe them that.

Well I have faith in God...I have confidence in our leaders and troops to do their jobs the best they can.

But I am still spooked by the fact there is so little resistance in this war.
I'm not alone. I heard the commentator on FOX just ask the reporter with troops on their way into Iraq...if they didn't feel that things were just going too smoothly.

I'm sorry but to me it's really weird.

Fox News: medical team rushed to the scene last night

[RummyChick]

Shrouded in smoke ... the west bank of the Tigris

[B4Ranch]

Fox just cleaned up their broadcast by focusing the camera properly.

FN: White House source - WH is divided over whether Saddam's alive or not. He is exerting no operational control over his military. Good.
