Interesting live footage on CNN

Posted on 04/12/2003 9:27:32 PM PDT by saquin

CNN reporter Brent Sadler traveling on a road very near Tikrit. The retired military officer in the studio keeps telling him to be careful. I find these live shots very nerve-wracking. It seems rather foolish for a reporter to be doing this, considering that Tikrit is a Saddam stronghold. Just a heads-up in case anyone is interested.

Well this seems to be the only game in town. Just the confederate general on Fox and Sally Struthers on MSNBC.

I don't think so.

I think they reconsidered their decision to pursue a military career.

He said he is going to talk to a few more people before going in with part of the CNN convoy.

Located 90 miles north of Baghdad and covering 4.0 square kilometers, this is the largest and most elaborate of the presidential sites. In addition to palaces and VIP residences pictured here, the site also includes farms and rural retreats for VIPs located farther to the west. Construction at the Tikrit Residential site has been ongoing since 1991.

how did Kevin Sites managed to get kidnapped by fedayeen yesterday?

What is that about Kevin Sites??? I have not heard about that. I have been glued to this thead also tonight. I can not believe that CNN is doing this. Maybe to make up for last weeks press.

still not satisfied it is safe to move in. some fedayeen might be present according to a local. damn, he didn't ask them about the underground city! they are going to hold their position now, which sounds like a good move.
