Was it last night or this morning when the military officer said "It was like they woke up and said Where'd all the Americans come from?"

[Green]

Hey! Do you supposed Ollie and Greg should go look for Baghdad Bob and get their presser credentials approved before reporting from Baghdad.

They need to make sure they tell him that his minder isn't necessary, they came with their own minders.

[Robert A Cook PE]

OK - This is col.

We GOTTA get FOX to tell their embeds where to go so they can "rescue" the Bagcam.

(Stalingrad? Somebody on NPR mention Stalingrad? this is like takin' Paris!)

[MEG33]

Boom!

[Mrs.Liberty]

whoa...car wheels screeching, then a big boom.

[Fledermaus]

Something funny my wife just said...

She noticed those Saddam signs made of tile...she wants to go up and "rearrange" the tiles!

[SoldiersGirl]

I wonder if the 7 Badgdad cars will give our tanks right of way.....

[eyespysomething]

in a hurry. Heard the virgins were in short supply.

[Timeout]

I still want to see an Ollie interview with Ahmed!

[Tree of Liberty]

Fox - Greg Kelly continues to report that civilian vehicles approach but are waved off, and they return to the city. Possible RG General has been captured at the front of the column. Can't confirm. CAS overhead (A-10's). Very Very dark. Lot's of smoke. Overcast day, but should be clear if not for smoke. Things have cooled down a little. Think he said one U.S. tank has been taken out. Dug in positions on either side of the road. Surviving enemy soldiers engage as they roll by.

[AlextheWise1]

[Fledermaus]

Shep says he's "with the military" for safety reasons...is he in a tank now?
