Oh neat, they're about to blow up one of his statues. Can't wait for the countdown.....3.......2.....1......Goodbye!!! Yo would think someone would want that, like for a museum or something. I do hope not too much is destroyed, even if it is Sadaam propaganda. I hope one US soldier gets the bright idea to keep a poster or picture or soemthign of Sadaam instead of destryoing it. Imagine what he could get on ebay!!!
This Iraq info minister really is crazy. He is saying that American soldiers are comitting suicide at the walls of Baghdad and it is a clear victory for the Iraqis..... Dont worry guy, you wont have to worry about backing up your lies...
Not really surprising... The Iraqis have been telling their people for days that they have beaten back the allied assault and chased us back to Kuwait. Wonder what they're going to say now, since the Information Ministry is under allied control?
Man that Fox News guy is fantastic. That's the best interview/report I've seen since this started. They really should go talk with the Info Minster.
Regarding the Iraqi (dis)Information Minister, it's about time someone put a cap in his a$$; I really can't stand his smugness.
have we blown up that little structure with the street light rising above it that you always see from that one camera showing the city. i would love to know what that thing is. it's like the space needle or eiffel tower of baghdad.
Yep. 'Chemical Ali' Found Dead in Basra 5 minutes ago BASRA, Iraq - Ali Hassan al-Majid, dubbed "Chemical Ali" by opponents of the Iraqi regime for ordering a poison gas attack that killed thousands of Kurds, has been found dead, a British officer said Monday Maj. Andrew Jackson of the 3rd Battalion Parachute Regiment told The Associated Press that his superiors had confirmed the death of the man who is also President Saddam Hussein's first cousin. Jackson said the body was found along with that of his bodyguard and the head of Iraqi intelligence services in Basra. Saddam had entrusted al-Majid with defense of southern Iraq against invading coalition forces. One of the most brutal members of Saddam's inner circle, al-Majid, in his 50s, led a 1988 campaign against rebellious Kurds in northern Iraq in which whole villages were wiped out. An estimated 100,000 Kurds, mostly civilians, were killed. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tm...on_re_mi_ea/war_chemical_ali&cid=540&ncid=716
Still stunned. This war has turned downright comical. From the webcams, Iraqi taxis (something like that) are still running around doing business.
Well, this isn't exactly unexpected: Iraq Spokesman Denies U.S. in Baghdad 1 minute ago BAGHDAD, Iraq - Iraq's information minister Monday denied U.S. troops had stormed Baghdad, declaring: "Be assured Baghdad is safe, secure and great." "They are sick in their minds. They say they brought 65 tanks into center of city. I say to you this talk is not true. This is part of their sick mind," Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf said. "There is no presence of American infidels in the city of Baghdad at all." Sahhaf, at a rooftop news conference amid a crowd of foreign reporters, said amid sirens and clouds of dusts that Saddam Hussein's forces had given invading coalition forces "poison and bitterness." "Their forces committed suicide by the hundreds. ... The battle is very fierce and God made us victorious. The fighting continues," he said. "Yesterday, we slaughtered them and we will continue to slaughter them." Sahhaf said coalition forces pushed one of the armored carriers and tanks into the city and "we killed most of them and we will get of rid of them soon. Baghdad will be their graveyard." Reacting to reports that the U.N. Security Council was to meet Monday, he called on the United Nations to denounce the war "before the United Nations becomes a place for prostitution under the feet of the Americans." http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tm...re_mi_ea/war_iraqi_spokesman&cid=540&ncid=716 This is getting comical. I wonder if someone should tell him that the entire friggen world is watching those Americans who aren't in Baghdad rolling with tanks right in front of his office?
A very good webcam of Baghdad ps. Treeman, this is off topic, but why do Americans tape mirrors (some refleting material) on the front armor plate of M1A1 turrets?
