Interesting live footage on CNN

[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.

Holy crap - I hope they've radioed the rest of the convoy and told them to get going! This is terrifying.

[abner]

Where is the rest of the convoy?????

[nicmarlo]

I said it was a trap!

Yep; oh boy, was it ever.

[oceanview]

Screaming now: "MOVE IT"!

But the chase vehicle appears to have backed off.

[boxerblues]

one in the convey has been hit

[The KG9 Kid]

Those American SUVs sure can soak up the light gunfire.

[oceanview]

they have been shooting back.

[hmmmmm]

criminy! it looked like some of the convoy was on the other side of the road?

[tubebender]

They are toast...Dumb Dumb Dumb.

[swheats]

And they're still not out of danger considering the two bases they've passed.

[abner]

He is calling it a, "pretty ugly moment".

[faithincowboys]

can we assume soiled undershorts??

[thasea]

I'd watch for any incoming....

ANOTHER VEHICLE FOLLOWING

[TXnMA]

Back to highway and picking up their convoy. " Beat it! Beaat it!"

[hmmmmm]

And why the heck aren't they armed to the teeth?

[Dolphy]

He has handled this pretty well, I would have hung up the phone.

This is f'ing yunbieliveable.......for a moment, they were a rolling duck being used for target practice....whew, things seem a little calmer now, but even MY adrenelin is up a notch or two.........

[nicmarlo]

More shots, I think I heard.... that same "tapping" sound as before.
