FOX

Opens into the tigris river.

Seems power only went out in certain areas of Baghdad -- might want to check where power was still on and we just might locate Saddam. CNN source reported that lights went out in sections one after the other and not all at once.

[PhiKapMom]

That's why I stuck with CNN considering I detest Judy Woodruff. Doesn't make sense and sounds ominous.

Mass execution. Kurdistan all over again, I fear.

Yes....pray to God not.

I never thought I would see sensationalistc pablum from FOX report a sewer or utility tunnel to a river as a "secret tunnel" and accepted without comment by what should be conservatives skeptical of the press either.

(Boy is that arun on sentence or what? James Joyce eat your heart out!)

"I'm also guessing that they have some remote-controlled probes that can go down there and see what's up."

Would be nice to have some bots for this job! God only knows what is underground over there.

The "other half of Baghdad" is on the far side of the Tigris River. This area is dominantly Shiite, and has few targets of military consequence. Given the fatwah just issued by the Grand Mufti of the Shiites to "cooperate" with the Coalition, I expect that half of Baghdad to be taken first, and to become "Free Baghdad."

See my UPI column, "The Berlin Solution for the Baghdad Problem," posted yesterday on FR and run yesterday on UPI.

Latest column, now up on UPI, and FR, "The Berlin Solution to the Baghdad Problem."

Latest book(let), "to Restore Trust in America."

CNN source reported that lights went out in sections one after the other and not all at once.

Like someone manually pulling breakers one by one rather than a sudden missile strike.

[PhiKapMom]

Could be -- whatever it is they didn't want anyone reporting -- Al Jazerra being kicked out could be making sense.

[randita]

Bet they're checking the airport for remote controlled bombs now. They could be hidden all over the place.

[PhiKapMom]

Sure does sound like pulling breakers one by one and only in certain parts of the city.

[OldFriend]

According to reports....the same reaction to Geraldo there as here. Half the guys like him and the other half have no use for him.

"No, I said the RED zone is for loading and unloading only."

[gov_bean_ counter]

Is there a number attached to the civilian movements?

[PhiKapMom]

I think I am being paranoid but we took that airport very fast with very little resistance and now the Iraqi's are telling residents to go to the airport. Why?

[randita]

Something dastardly is afoot. I have confidence in our troops to thwart it if possible and at the very least, to be totally aware of the situation.

He is also very melancholy(one of his favorite expressions),and I never thought I would say this but I feel sorry for him. He was brave enough to be an embed,but used such poor judgement that he is missing the highlight of his life. SCHMUCK! Maybe he will have a "come to jesus,or moses" like David Horowitz did.

[PhiKapMom]

The last report I heard was they are going through an Iraqi neighborhood near the airport with loudspeakers. No numbers of residents were given.

[seeker41]

They are going to slaughter them.

Baghdad TV is on, nobody in the city can watch it ...

It is just old Hee Haw reruns or Andy Griffith anyway. Maybe, I love Lucy!!!

[PhiKapMom]

If CNN was reporting it, our people at CENTCOM and in the field are well aware and are prepared!
