Wag the Saddam
Published April 05, 2003
Been watching the war on TV this afternoon - CNN (left-center), MSNBC (center-center except when that idiot Savage is on), FoxNews (triumphalist-right) - and the pictures are remarkable, driving with troops down the highway right through the middle of Baghdad, the shit-for-brains Iraqi Dis-Information Minister claiming the footage of Americans galavanting through Baghdad, controling the airport, dominating every venue, is all Hollywood, all fabricated. Whatever floats your boat, numbnuts.
But the best part is the footage from Iraqi TV of "Saddam" mingling with the citizenry, exhorting them on to victory:
- State TV showed Saddam chairing a meeting of top military and political advisers, including his two sons, Uday and Qussay, a day after airing footage of the Iraqi leader touring his battered capital as part of a systematic drive to underline he was still in charge.
In a speech read on television on his behalf by Information Minister Mohammad Said al-Sahhaf Saturday, Saddam told Iraqis Baghdad was still theirs to rescue. [AFP]

"Stiff-upper-lip-center" - I like that one.
There is no dispute that they didn't stick around - they just went in there to show they could and to scare the shit out of whoever is left trying to control this mess:
"U.S. armor penetrated the city early Saturday for the first time, but quickly moved out and headed toward the airport on Baghdad's western edge, U.S. Central Command officials said."
The allied army reaches the center of Baghdad and is thrown to the conquest of Kerbala
More than thousand Iraqis and some a hundred marines die during the intense battles...confirm that United States controls the airport of the capital Iraqi.
