I was kind of suprised that we haven't heard from Major Bob lately.

Ok, I've got a conspircy theory:

Does anyone besides me think that our SpecOps guys grabbed up Baghdad Bob and The Minders in the middle of the night yesterday?

It was awfully coincidental that the minders didn't show up on the day that we just happened to circle the wagons around the statue and pull it down... so those journalists could get down into the circle and film that historic event up close.

All your Minders are belong to us.

Baghdad Bob= Iraqi Minister of information
Major Bob= Major Bob Bevelacqua, former Green Beret, Fox News Military Analyst

Other then that, I think your theory is plausible.

I hope you're right-- that we are just not telling anyone that we have him. If we can't get Bob, how can we get any of the senior officials-- who got away apparently at the Mosque firefight today?

FN: Chris Kline in N. Iraq: "We find ourselves about 20 miles from Mosul...quite considerable fighting in this area in last few days...some 10,000 Kurds advanced taking over village after village...as Iraqi army retreated....came under fire...as things stand...compared to Kirkut, which fell today with virtually no resistance, Mosul offers a different strategic and tactical problem...still lots of artillery there, Mosul unlike Kirkuk... has Kurdish minority...home to perhaps 50% of the Officers corp of the Iraqi army...the loyalist corp is strong indeed...they continue to fight...the allied and coalition forces take it very, very seriously...the many Kurdish soldiers are in a buoyant mood today..."
