Armed clashes between Baghdad people, army
2003-04-07
Lookit dat! The flag's not even on fire!Sporadic armed clashes broke out between Baghdad people and pro-Saddam Iraqi army following the US ground strikes on the capital. According to IRNA correspondent Baghdad residents particularly in three areas of the city who were under heavy pressure of Baath's army forces and Saddam's Fedayeen over recent months, clashed with Saddam forces. During the clashes, Baghdad people killed at least 35 soldiers and Saddam's supporters while Iraqi soldiers attacked houses in the city and killed or wounded a large number of people.
That's not the beginning of the end — that was us. But this is the middle of the end, maybe the middle toward the end of the end. I'm sticking by Wednesay...

#2  I agree with liberalhawk, and others, I hope stuff like this is true but let us get hard confirmation and not get cocky or overconfident!
Anyway, the picture is great, what is the source and where was it taken? It is one of the most heartening I have seen since the picture of Pfc. Jessica Lynch's smile after being rescued. HOOAH!

#1  anythin on this from anyone other than IRNA, and Kuwaiti News (and Fox, quoting Kuwaiti News)
Not that it would surprise me but Im not trusting anything on uprisings or WMD finds until its BOTH from a reliable source and more than 24 hours old.
