The officer claimed ownership of Baghdad in a conversation with Fox newsman Greg Kelly, who was broadcasting live by videophone. "Saddam Hussein says he owns Baghdad. We own Baghdad.

A dramatic blow-by-blow account of America's push into Baghdad was delivered from the turret of a tank yesterday by an embedded Fox News correspondent, Greg Kelly. As confusion reigned over the nature and extent of the US forces' grip on the Iraqi capital, television news networks relayed a to-camera report recorded live during the early stages of their initial push into the city. Surveying the scene from the top of a turret, a helmeted Kelly delivered his report as a column of US tanks from the 3rd Infantry Division surged along Route Eight into Baghdad's suburbs. His cameraman, Mal James,...

<p>Fox truely has spectacular footage of the 3rd Infantry Division as it fought its way into Baghdad and they are right to tout this exclusive video.</p> <p>But absolutely idiotic is the director that shows only 3/4 of it while hiding the other 1/4 of the screen behind a banner of nonsense.

For the soldiers of the US 3rd Infantry Division, their foray into Baghdad...

In some of the most impressive footage, Fox TV and Sky News viewers were able to acompany a tank column advancing on an Iraqi highway and actually watch as what seemed to be a speeding...

Just announced on the main thread, came from FOX

I was watching Foxnews as Greg Kelly traveled with the Third Infantry Division of Marines. They had just crossed over into Iraq.
