I saw that when I was at my brothers..I thought they might finally put a cap in that guy's a$$. We did have a drone circling B-dad for 12 hrs. straight...maybe it dropped a little something on his head?

Veeeery interesting

Isn't it.....and earlier, the German reporter, confined to the Hotel, sounded a bit nervous to me that the reporters were not allowed to leave hotels.....and Bagcam....isn't it at the propaganda building?

The bagcams were moved to the Palestine Hotel (I think that's its name) after the Ministry of Information building was badly damaged last week.

Since the MI building is inoperative, the Bagdad Bob is thought to be broadcasting out of the Palestine Hotel. That is also where most of the journalists still in town are staying.

Maybe Special Ops have decided to cut short Bagdad Bob's TV career?

All we can do is speculate. I am surprised, though, that FoxNews nor MSNBC have said anything about no live feeds from Bagdad.

I swear everytime I see Baghdad Bob's video from today's performance, he looks more and more to me like he is ad libbing and making up his stories as he goes. It is really quite comical.

Did we use the E-bomb?

Would that disable a car alarm?

LOL, when I skim through the thread, I keep seeing pink, um, fleshy infant feeding device when I go past your name.
