#4 I just hope that U.S. soldiers are blocking the Terrorist from running to Syria from Iraq. Can kill a bunch of them as they run to the light.

#5 Syria's got to be running their AD radars all over the place looking to see if Israel is going to hit them. The longer this goes on the better the target map Israel gets to draw up on the Syria AAD network.

#6 I wonder if Syria has a variation of "Baghdad Bob" (whom I always I kinda liked!)

[scene]
Damascus Dave: "Our brave Syrian airforce has swept the Zionist pigs from the air."

[on cue Israeli jets streak overhead and destroy Assad's palace]

p.s. ALL TIME great video is Baghdad Bob saying "The Americans are not within 100 miles of Baghdad" as an M1 tank rolls by in the background! Priceless.

I loved that moment...the tanks were chasing Iraqi troops down the riverbank if I recall correctly....priceless moment.

#12 Anyone have a link to that footage online, or to a still with the tank showing?

#13 The only way the video with the tank in the background could have been better would have been if a couple marines were in the shot waving at the camera doin' the Hi Mom! thing.

#15 Is there a video of the US armored column cutting the main Baghdad-Basra highgway ?
Reports at the time mentioned amazed Iraqis getting out of their cars to watch the tank force heading to Baghdad. Iraqi radio was still claiming that no US forces were present in the country.

#18 Hitting the runways keeps Hizbullah from flying the two Israeli prisoners to Iran and keeps Iran from flying in any more rockets and gunnies.
