I guess they dont like Saddam much afterall:

"Major bloody confrontations are currently taking place between the residents of Baghdad and the regime's militia, killing dozens of Saddam's loyalists and forcing many of their leaders to leave their positions and change into civilian clothes," sources inside the city told KUNA."

Yeah, told by Fox, who also said that we had captured Bghdad Friday night. I always have to wonder how optomistic their reporting is.

I guess I could be wrong... it WAS 3 in the morning and I had been drinking... but Fox was showing images of the armored incursion into the city and saying it was captured. Later, that column turned out to be just a probe.

It's about freaking time. Too bad there weren't enough with the courage to stand up before the war was pretty much over. Maybe we would not have had so much trouble with the Fedayeen if they had stood up last week.

Well, personally I don't watch just one network, I like to flip back and forth when I do have time to sit and watch TV (Rare I might add, usually after kids are asleep), but I do remember Fox saying that it "appears to be probing the Iraqi defensives"...ironically, that probe killed roughly 400 Iraqi soldiers!
