New Explosions Near Baghdad
(for those not currently watching...) The headline is almost a cliche but... the current live picture of Baghdad from Abu Dhabi TV (& others) is showing what could be a truly huge fire. Shep on Fox says it could be traces of antiaircraft fire, but as he says, there's no way to know. In any case, the flash has gone on for a very long time... Comments
CNN-Abu Daby TV says 4 missiles hit one target...ret. gen. Benton on CNN says we are looking at a fire, not explosions...some anti-aircraft tracers also seen Posted by: rose at April 3, 2003 07:50 PMHow much longer are they going to be under that "operational pause" that Rooters reported on earlier this week? Posted by: arlo at April 3, 2003 07:57 PMarlo, we're no longer in an operational pause, we're now in a quagmire. didn't you see the latest report? Posted by: Ben Noah at April 3, 2003 08:03 PMThat's because our military planners are "not professional". Just ask the Belgians! Posted by: Beachbum at April 3, 2003 08:09 PMDoes anyone have a URL to a live feed of Baghdad other than MSNBC? Posted by: Patrick Grote at April 3, 2003 08:14 PMPat, try wwitv.com Maybe different, or not. Posted by: jamesbray at April 3, 2003 08:19 PMPatrick try these Dial Up Right now the MSNBC is the best one. I guess the large explosions and resulting damage explains why the CBS/CNN feeds went to red/black about an hour ago (I'm not kidding?! Maybe the American war plan hasn't failed. Peter Arnett, call your office. Posted by: arlo at April 3, 2003 08:47 PMNot only is there the al-Reuters pause, and the anti-Rummy quagmire, but now we are made to understand by the French that we've made three (count'em!) mistakes. You can always count on the French to tell you you're wrong. So, should the Coalition forces have surrendered to French-armed Saddam? or the US to the French-led UN? and the UK to the French-led EU?
