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.

No airstrikes. They might hit the "friendlies." However, a couple of aircraft buzzing the road might scare away the hostiles.

Looks like they were armed enough.

There's no such thing.

I was being sarcastic. It's stupid going without military escort.

Back windows shot out of one of their vehicles. Now stopping -- one has a head wound.

Why the HELL are they stopping?

You can't just stop someone on the street in Iraq and believe what they tell you.

Isn't that what Hans Blix did?

THEY ARE IDIOTS

Of course they are, that's why they are CNN. They went, basically unprotected, looking for people without water and of course looters and look what happened.
