CBS News - TV ^ | 3/22/2003 | CBS News

[Bobby777]

Dan Rather is reporting some sort of explosion inside 101st Airborne tents ... at least six soldiers injured ... no reports of any killed at this moment ... unknown if attack or accident ... developing ...

I saw the families of the 101st on CNN today at a pro-America rally. I feel horrible for them.

What is a S-2? I assume it means the top guys were hurt tonight?

[Endeavor]

I don't blame you, I'm simply saying they're way ahead on this. CBS was stupid to break in and mention it and then go back to bball.

[leadpenny]

MSNBC finally reported this at 6:18 Eastern.

..and I worry/wonder about that story on anthrax being carried by the Iraqi......anyone else notices scores of Iraqi "farmers" just walking along the road....

are they infiltrating???....are we being set-up?

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

It just happened, so I guess someone hasn't had time to update it yet.

[Peach]

Yes - I was typing it into the Live thread. Need that Time reporter to call back.

[Dog]

MSNBC is talking about it....general on thinks this was a Iraqi spec ops ...

[CaliforniaOkie]

Just reported on MSNBC. Enemy fire.

[tutstar]

And how would the culprit know they were leadership? Don't the troops go without rank insignia when in battle so as to avoid the leaders being captured?
My dh could tell me but he's not available right now.

Crowd is currently chanting "Free Barabas".

That is perhaps the most profoundly accurate reading of these anti-American protests I have heard yet.

[Diddle E. Squat]

No loose lips, think it through. It is a 6-8 hour flight. They can fire missiles an hour away from the target. They can also mark time for a while(basically circling). Previous B-52's went out 15 hours and about 7 hours ago. So put all that together and there could be bombing at any time. Showing the launch only confirms that the threat of bombing is NOT letting up, nothing more.

S-2 is an Battalion Intelligence officer. If he is acting CO, then the CO, XO and S-3 ( Ops officer) are probably incapacitated.

Unidentified bag seen - treating as if it's a bomb

These are the guys we need to be really afraid of and visa versa, of course.

[rwfromkansas]

good point.

I hope an order will be issued to increase security bigtime all over the place now...that should prevent any further incidents.

I hope nobody dies from this....God be with our troops.

Love your Iraqi Sunrise. Long as the "whole world" is against us - now might be a good time to drop a tactical nuke on a desert bunker - we'd just say "You think we make them just to put'em in storage?" Watch out you bad guys ...

I've been forced back to CNN at least momentarily. I have Fox on the big TV, CNN on the puter, just in case I need to record something. If Fox finally reports this, I'm going to switch the little TV back.

Fox reporting now.

[cgk]

LOL - I actually heard on FNC that the missile defense system was going off AFTER the missiles hit.

[goodnesswins]

Just what is a "dh?"
