Anyone watching MSNBC? They had a camera over looking part of Baghdad. All of the sudden some guy comes up to the camera, looked like he had a walkie talkie and then the network stopped showing the camera view. Did the Iraqi army shut it down? I'm wondering what happened...

We are so powerful, it really doesn't matter when we attack...

Day, night, second Tuesday of the month, doesn't make much of a difference.

Anyway, the issue of Saddam and his 8 doubles had me thinking... I mean, how do you know it was actually him going into this meeting place (which was subsequently bombed)? Perhaps he told one of his doubles what to say and that person just played his part? The military certainly has millions of times more info about the situation than we do, but it's still got to be hard. :confused:

I hope you have a BIG e-mail account :Q

Just imagine (though premature) that we took out Saddam and the Iraqi leadership in one precise blow...this "conflict" would go down in history as the "90 Minute War" or "Much Ado ABout Nothing" :)

Saddam comes on TV: "If you are hearing this message, me...your beloved leader has been killed."

I wish...

or.... Saddam comes on TV...as a decapitated corpse.

I wonder if it is pre taped. I can't believe he would go on live tv now. He basically never does it to begin with for security reasons.

Apparently the American Delta Force is headed into the smoldering remains of what those 40 cruise missles just bombed...

Think that would make it easier for us to pin-point his location if we didn't take him out?
