Isn't there usually another slew of bombings just before dawn?

[Consort]

4:17 AM?

Comming up after the break on FNC...the video.

We should establish an over/under line for the next hour on number of times it's shown.

[POGIFFMOO]

Those without a rice-steamer can use your Ronco oven.

There has been in the past but I don't know about now since we are right in Baghdad with them.

[Miss Marple]

Well, yes, but that IS the name of their show, you know! LOL!

[NTNgod]

Agreed (on both counts).

I was going there when they held the 'election' to change the name.

[Tree of Liberty]

We've got CAS over Baghdad 24hrs/day now, according to Bret Beir, so bombs could drop at any time on the order of a FAC.

[NTNgod]

Marquette is getting as badly routed as the Iraqui Army.
I think the Iraqi Army shoots better than Marquette is today.

[TexKat]

Thanks Catspaw, my son called a little earlier and said that it was 2a.m. and that CBS was there in Kuwait filming them and it was supposed to air before or during the game. He was telling me hello, I hope I did not miss it like I did when he was in Bosnia during one Christmas.

I see there is another game coming up later tonight, so maybe it will air on that one. Gee, I'm missing Fox.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Back again. Good link. Our UK allies are doing great work in Basrah.

This line needs further explaining, though (?!):

This time round, in an unspeakable act of barbarism, children had their throats slit.

[Poser]

Yes. In my opinion, we have. While it isn't 100%, that latest indoor Saddam talking about the chopper seems to be the real thing. Unless he made a tape specifically mentioning a farmer shooting down an Apache(?) chopper in the south before the first night, he's still alive.

The outdoor Saddam was the right guy, but there was no way to date it.

I saw an example of one of the fake Saddams today on TV. He didn't have the moles or birthmarks. If that's an example of the fake Saddams, the one we have been seeing is the real thing.

[Tree of Liberty]

The fedaheen have been kidnapping children to force their parents to fight us. The throat-slitting report might be related.

[oceanview]

Patton's grandson on MSNBC now.

[Texas Tea]

What?!!! Who said that?!!!

[glock rocks]

jets on the bagcam

[Texas Tea]

Incoming!!!

[Tree of Liberty]

CBS Bag-cam - think I heard a car alarm

[Texas Tea]

Oooops! Overgoing!

[Warren_Piece]

The CBS Bagcam has too much wind noise. Can someone please post a link to the NTV cam?
