Popular Uprising in Baghdad.

Civilian populations are rising up against Iraqi troops and the Fedayeen in Baghad in at least three areas of the city. Up to 35 Iraqi military loyalists have been killed. This is indeed good news!

Dawn,

Gotta link for that, or is it a TV report???

I'm watching this on tv, too--I'll see if I can find a link for you. I hope this is true.

I'm also hearing that we found medium-range missiles equipped with chemical weapons--sarin and mustard gas--"ready to fire".

You mean the "stuff" Saddam doesn't have?? So much for Rumsfeld's "failed plan". Two weeks and we are in Baghad and the population is in revolt!

There's an uprising in Basra, too. FOX news is talking about it. They said they aren't going to show pictures because it's so bloody.

Did anyone see the CENTCOM briefing this morning by the British officer? He said the Pentagon's war plan will go down in history for it's brilliance, and that it will be a case study in military history for generations to come!

Report: U.S. Finds Missiles with Chemical Weapons

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. forces near Baghdad found a weapons cache of around 20 medium-range missiles equipped with potent chemical weapons, the U.S. news station National Public Radio reported on Monday.

NPR, which attributed the report to a top official with the 1st Marine Division, said the rockets, BM-21 missiles, were equipped with sarin and mustard gas and were "ready to fire." It quoted the source as saying new U.S. intelligence data showed the chemicals were "not just trace elements."

It said the cache was discovered by Marines with the 101st Airborne Division, which was following up behind the Army after it seized Baghdad's international airport.

U.S. Central Command headquarters in Qatar had no immediate comment.

The United States and Britain launched the war against Iraq to rid the country of weapons of mass destruction. Iraq denies having such weapons.

An uprising? In our support? How can this be? I thought we weren't going to be welcomed with open arms?

 

[Annie&Hallie'sMom]

Must be some mistake. Certainly Saddaam has NO weapons like that. Besides we aren't even in Bagdad, right? Isn't that what the Iraqi minister said? We must have taken a wrong turn and ended up in Camden, NJ.

Sigh.

Thank goodness this weapons that Saddaam doesn't have weren't used.
