1. Whoops...

I guess they didn't get the memo.

Watching it on CNN right now -- they are running a split screen with various politicians going on about why Hussein's capture is important, while the Palestine hotel appears to be in flames in the other shot...

5. Watching CNN, too

Wolf said Reuters is reporting it was a car bomb.

2. Why am I not surprised at all?

Not at all...

[peacetalksforall]

3. Oh my, the war kicked up again...no glory, no mileage

those terrists aren't going along with glory day for PNAC and the right wing coalition?

[Zech Marquis]

4. that didn't take long

if anyone though * getting Saddam in handcuffs would end the violence, guess again...hell, I'm scared the insurgents will REALLY pick up now :scared:

[Cooley Hurd]

6. Wolf B saying it was in front of the Reuters office...

[diplomats]

10. Now saying gunfire heard near site of the blast

[bvar22]

12. The Iraqi Resistance...

....made sure that the Media would HAVE TO cover this.
Expect MORE of the same.

God protect & save our TROOPS and the innocent Iraqi civilians. TOO MANY have died for dim son's messainic delusions.

[bvar22]

7. This will only get worse.

Order more body bags.
The Iraqi Civil War is about to begin. Review what Poppy had to say about the removal of Sadam. So far, Poppy has been 100% correct in his assessment of Iraq. Too bad about Poppy's Idiot Son, bringing Internationl Shame to the BFEE.

[Cooley Hurd]

15. A separate incident being reported on CNN now...

Gasoline truck sabotaged in Baghdad - did anyone else catch that?

[muriel_volestrangler]

16. CNN website implies it's the same explosion

"Baghdad explosion caused by fuel canisters on truck, not explosives, police tell Reuters. Details soon."

17. Any more

on this?

[Cush]

18. Wolf: It wasn't a car bomb

"A stray bulluet hit a truck carrying gasoline"

I kid you not

[Media_Lies_Daily]

19. Gotta love Wolfie, don't you? Incredibly inventive.

[bemildred]

20. He left out "routine" and "incidentally".

Should be "a routine stray bullet hit a truck that
was carrying gasoline that was incidentally in front
of the Reuters office."

But it's hard to think on your feet when you are used to reading
from the teleprompter.

[Cocoa]

21. I hope it wasn't Halliburton gasoline

that stuff is expensive.

[Jackpine Radical]

22. Goddamit. I was eating corn chips & salsa when I read that.

Now I got little red, green & yellow flecks all over my keyboard & screen.

23. Wolf eats junior's shit and barks at Condoleezza!

Haven't watched Woffie for a long time, but I got the picture.
