    For the last five minutes of class, we watch Fox news. (only channel we have)

    I heard a report the Iraqis are shooting surrendering Iraqis that are dressed as US Troops. They think that they are actually US troops surrendering and executing them.

    As reported, "this is from sr. defense officials in the highest levels of the Pentagon"...Much chaos...

    Well... CNN and MSNBC are reporting of civilian uprisings in Basra and Iraqi troops firing on the Iraqi people while British troops are firing on the Iraqi troops...

    There was the intelligence report a few weeks back that Iraq was getting some uniforms together similar to US and/or British military. This seems to be the end result of that plan.

    Stalin would be proud.
