If you had, you would have seen the track the US took in their path through bagdhad.  This doesn't even bring into the equation the fact that a russian couldn't find his own arse with both hands.


perhaps you are supposing that a Russian can drive straight ?

Bottom line is that US troops entered Baghdad. What is your point Straffo?

mathmatic? Tell us the formula you used to prove that Russian reporters should have been able to find US troops in Baghdad.

I would like to use this formula to find Saddam.

How many square km is Baghdad? How many square km did the Russian reporters cover in the time period of the US incursion into Baghdad?

That's the second time I expose some simple facts and your interpretation goes orbital ...

Were did I say the Russian  made all their possible to find the US troop ?

I was just  exposing the flaw of Boroda post I don't understand why you are picking me.

Masta da obvious ...


What I gathered from this is that you were implying that Russians should have encountered US soldiers. Am I worng here? It seems to me that you are doubting that US troops were in Baghdad based on the Russian Reporters not seeing them. Am I mistaken?

Perhaps our wayward comrades should just hop on the bus tour being offered by the iraqi info minister. Might answer alot of questions.

Marching To Baghdad

(To the tune of Marching Through Georgia, with apologies to Henry Clay Work)

Bring the good ol' bugle, boys,
we'll sing another song,
Sing it with the spirit that
will start the world along,
Sing it as we used to sing it
50,000 strong;
While we were marching
to Baghdad.

CHORUS: Hurrah, hurrah,
we bring the jubilee!
Hurrah, hurrah,
the flag that makes you free!
So we sang the chorus
from Kuwait that's at the sea
While we were marching
to Baghdad!

How the Iraqis shouted
when they heard the joyful sound!
How the Baathists scrambled
which our Special Forces found!
How the aid and comfort
was distributed around
While we were marching
to Baghdad!--CHORUS

Yes, and there were Iraqi men
who wept with joyful tears
When they saw the honored flag
they had not seen for years.
Hardly could they be restrained
from breaking forth in cheers
While we were marching
to Baghdad!--CHORUS

"Franks' Coalition boys
will never leave the coast!"
So the saucy Saddam said,
and 'twas a handsome boast,
Had they not forgotten then
to reckon with the host
While we were marching
to Baghdad!--CHORUS

So we made a thoroughfare
for freedom and her train,
Sixty miles in latitude,
300 to the main.
Tyranny fled before us,
resistance was in vain
While we were marching
to Baghdad!--CHORUS


Flame away.  ;)
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

I have to agree straffo , your comment was taken way out of context.
