Reuters report on the exodus from Basra

It think it was the Brits who destroyed most of that convoy.

Confused - is there another second convoy on its way FROM Baghdad composed of Republican Guard to fight allies in the south?

[Mr. Mulliner]

Earlier on the Iraqi press conference thread someone brought up a scary possibility. The Iraqis heading out of Basra has been a puzzle. In the press conference the Iraqis accused coalition forces of poisoning the water supply. Now what if they put chemicals and/or germs in the water? That would explain them high-tailing it out of Basra. And now their accusation would get the finger pointed at our side for what they already know about. Have you heard anything like this?
