| 2003-04-05 |
| A Saddam fedayeen (suicide fighter) reported seeing some 30 buses carrying American soldiers captured during intense clashes in Baghdad early today. According to the Al-Arabiya satellite TV channel, Abo Abdullah said that during a non-conventional battle, Iraqi forces succeeded in recapturing Saddam International Airport, which was reported to have been taken over by coalition forces Friday and renamed Baghdad International Airport. |

| #9 Is "unconventional" a synonym for "imaginary" in the Iraqi dialect? |

| #8 Yeah, saw Iraqi Min of Info interviewed on Iraqi satellite channel by AJ today. He kept going on how we had been pushed out of the airport to about 30-40 kms south. AJ guy did at least ask him for proof, to which Min told him the US had been pushed out of the airport to about 30-40 kms south...again, again. I guess this was last night's "unconventional" attack. Military pros out there: The Min was standing on roof of him minstry during interview. Would it have been possible to have made a little noise during interview? Ditto for "Saddam's" walk around. |

| #7 I wondered what happened to all those US and British uniforms Uncle Sadde ordered; either that or the high grade hashhish has finally caught up to the suicide squads (hey, ya gotta get 'em motivated SOMEHOW, and if the virgins don't do it, the opium laced hash might do the trick). |

| #5 That would be the Bradley fighting "bus", equiped with the urban renewal chain gun mounted on its turret. Somehow I can see Ralph Kramden riding into town with one of those babies. |

| #4 Al-Arabiya? Isn't that Peter Arnett's latest employer? They will like his type of journalism. |
