US Tanks moving toward bend in river now.

[TrexDogs]

I'm thinking we saw those 2 tanks live on NTV (gut feel is it was live)

[umbagi]

The guy on Fox says he can see "two tanks" and some troops running around on the river bank... Sounds to me like that "Lebanese" shot (what NTV has had on) is live...

[MEG33]

Across the river.

Flame thrower on the nTV cam in the background

[lavrenti]

If they took the Al-Rasheed that means they have what's left of the Ministry of Information (big bunker there). Also a major bridge is one block away.

[adaven]

No, this NTV shot is different... cool stuff wow! May be live?

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Sky - American forces have stormed the Information Ministry, a city centre presidential palace and other key buildings in central Baghdad, it is being reported.

I Loved Geraldos "minister of wishful thinking" remark

I seriously would watch a show if that guy had one.
He can broadcast the news the way he see's it...not how it's really happening

oh wait, silly me, we already have that..it's called CNN

[Poser]

Taking out another vehicle. Keep watching if you are on Fox. They are backing up the tape to show that again.

[KansasCanadian]

When this is all over, i really think we should let Russia have a piece of the re-building to repay them for the wonderful job they did advising Iraq's war effort...

[Mo1]

how far away from the presidentail palace is the cam...somebody is sure talking excitedly in the background

Sky News Dude is saying it is right across the river .. he can't see where he is right now, but maybe if he could get up high on something he could see it

[SoldiersGirl]

that guy being badgdad bob

[Fledermaus]

or Clinton press conferences

[Oldeconomybuyer]

22:00 PST (AP) -- The 2nd Brigade of the 3rd Infantry Division entered the city at 6 a.m. moving up highway and meeting only moderated resistance mostly from infantry. They took assault fire and rocket propelled grenades.

The U.S. Army columns moved from southeast to northeast to the newest and main presidential palace on the Tigris.

Iraqis fled along the river, some jumping in the water.

[commish]

They should hire him for a weekend update slot on Sat Night live

[Timeout]

So did we see it live?

I think we did. Fox just replayed the Lebanese Tv footage, which was what we saw earlier. I think NTV cut to their feed in live time.

[TheLion]

The webcams, etc sure slows down my computer. I have just under 200k. I can see the need to get a gig.

[Anomaly in Illinois]

We are seeing it before FNC.
