Saying they "downed 196 missles"

They DID down 196 missiles..............when they hit the ground.

My friend's husband is a B52 pilot. Please pray for him as he does his work.
He and his wife have nine children and they are wonderful people. Please pray that he comes home safe and SOON. His name is Glynn. Please add him to your prayer list. Thanks.

Peter Arnett says the bombing has increased over the past two days...

Apparantly they haven't increased enough. He's still alive.

[Lee'sGhost]

Almost????

pMSNBC - Another loud explosion. Good shot from al-Jazeera TV. Cameras around the "Information Ministry".

New anti-bomb weapon. Gravity. Brings 'em down every time.

[Rick.Donaldson]

The bombs have been going off for awhile now. I've been hearing them for about 30 minutes. First they were very distant, now they are close to the camera. (I've got a live feed here at work... INCOMINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!)

Oh, forgot I wasn't ACTUALLY there... :)

pMSNBC - International communications building hit.

"Iraq was able to down 196 missiles from minister if misinformation"

I think he's talking about a new Iraqi drink...kind of like a Tequila contest...called "missiles"

[demlosers]

Sheppard Smith: "It cripple us not coming from the North"

No Shep, it just slows us down a little.

I had the MSNBC camera on with headphones and the sound turned up to hear the bombs and one hit entirely too close to this mic and made me jump here at work... My heart was racing, I wonder how those Ba'athists feel?

[Allegra]

Now it's quiet...I want to see some more fireworks!

[Bahbah]

Is it the Stealth Bombers that can do this? Anyone have streaming video for cubicle bound?

[San Jacinto]

No MOAB, of course. But a big bunker buster?

Live on radio now--
a presidential palace and a public info center hit again....possibly the BIGGEST explosions so far in Bagdad...a communication center seems to be a big target of these attacks. Also explosions on the outskirts.

[Aggie Mama]

Added to my prayer list.

[w_over_w]

series = serious

hugh = huge

bomgings = bombings

Why do we have to have all these code words? I'm going to go take a shower.

[Indy Pendance]

He does tend to be dramatic.

[Eala]

I'm shocked and awed by the lack of truth in these people -- not just Iraqi Misinformation Minister -- but in what seems to be ALL arabs and Afghans included. They wouldn't know honesty if it slapped them in the face. Not to generalize though.

Actually, you are quite correct in your generalization. There was an excellent book published about 30 years ago, "The Arab Mind," by arabist Raphael Patai. It covers this (in a nutshell: they have a different concept of truth) and many other fascinating aspects of the Arab way of thinking, which is so different from Western.

I highly recommend this book!

"I wonder how those Ba'athists feel?"

I suspect the feel like taking a ba'th.

[RetiredArmy]

I am just wondering what can be left in the city to hit. They have hit it with massive missile and bombs. What are we still after today that we did not target before?
