Comments
SHOCKED. Posted by: tenbase at April 8, 2003 09:59 AMAPPALLED Posted by: RockOn at April 8, 2003 10:02 AMAWED Posted by: politicaobscura at April 8, 2003 10:05 AMINCONCEIVABLE Posted by: yank at April 8, 2003 10:09 AMwait....that's sarcasm, isn't it? I can recognize that....©¿© Posted by: Frank G at April 8, 2003 10:12 AMGet OUT! Posted by: RLG at April 8, 2003 10:12 AM"Inconceivable"? NO FRICKIN' WAY, MANDINGO! Posted by: apotheosis at April 8, 2003 10:14 AMLies, all lies!!! This criminal website is obviously the stupid tool of the cowardly mercenary invaders who have yet to cross into Iraq! There is no attack on Baghdad, we are merely conducting military exercises in anticipation of our final strike on London, Washington, Tel Aviv, and the Hale-Bopp comet! ROTFL Posted by: RockOn at April 8, 2003 10:16 AMROFLMAO Mohammed. "senior Iraqi officials at the Palestine Hotel were seen clutching each other with tears rolling down their faces" I can picture the cowards now....crying on eachothers military uniforms. Sure is a shame to hear of such misery (not). Soon their next of kin will be doing the crying. How many iraqi officials does it take to drain a 12 volt battery?

Posted by: Steve at April 8, 2003 10:21 AMWhat amazes me most is the smooth and orderly flow of traffic around the traffic circle even when the shells are flying the gunfights flaring and the jets are screaming....as reporters are shelled and the senior officials weep, the traffic flows...and that one guy's car alarm sets off with great regularity....

Something you may need: http://www.traffictalk.com/tt/html/oform5.html Posted by: Tommy at April 8, 2003 10:30 AMHas anyone heard or does anyone know if any of the repoter/hostages were able to escape amid all the confusion after the hotel shelling? I can't seem to find that info anyehere... Posted by: babs at April 8, 2003 10:49 AMAt least some of them are still at the hotel...addicted as I am to the cbsbagcam, I keep seeing and hearing them prepare their reports... Posted by: Knitting a Conundrum at April 8, 2003 11:02 AMWhat *is* it with that particular cam? I'll go for the longest time just staring at those trees riffling in the breeze with nothing to hear but the occasional dog barking. But do I turn it off? No. Posted by: jl at April 8, 2003 11:17 AMI recognize the various dogs that bark in the middle of the night, I recognize the car alarm that goes off every time there's a nearby jarring. I can usually tell the difference between the sound of wind on the mike and fighting in the background or jets....I have found myself humming the chants that the mosque there broadcasts...it's truly a sickness....and if there's a flash in the sky, I will sit there and look and look and look...what am I waiting for? I couldn't tell you...maybe an Apache to land in the open space there? I couldn't say. Posted by: Knitting a Conundrum at April 8, 2003 11:36 AMI think they were crying because they were informed that Saddam was dead from that strike aimed at him. They are probably related to him. The newspaper should have been smart enough to figure this out, but I guess the older more knowledgable people are logically in management.
