Necromancer- 0 Posted March 23, 2003 Actually a US soldier stepped on a mine, but got lightly injured. Well.... at least that's what i've read in the local newspaper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IsthatyouJohnWayne 0 Posted March 23, 2003 "There was only one double crash, AFAIK" Yes sorry, i added the word double at the end of typing the post-the second reported chopper crash, being two RAF helicopters colliding- is what i meant. "US denies any planes downed by Iraq nor any POWs taken." Yes i just heard that too  , i guess we'll see whos lying in the next few hours. (explosions..camp doha) "Source?" A BBC guy at Camp Doha has reported a large explosion outside the camp and a humvee driving out to investigate- hopefully nothing.... Interestingly i havent heard the Iraqis talking about these gory casualties apparently reported on by Al-Jazeera...Youde think theyde seize on any civilian casualties for the western media.....unless they are the three deaths in Baghdad?

Guest Posted March 23, 2003 Swedish TV is reporting from one of it's "embedded" reporters that the coalition forces have been stopped again outside Nasiriya by Euphrat. According to the reports the forces were stopped about 30 km southeast of the city. Interesting, I thought that Pentagon claimed that the had already secured Nasiriya and more importantly the bridges over Euphrat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Â <span id='postcolor'> Nothing. The war will continue. Don't expect any such POWs to survive. If they don't grind them up in a plastic shredder, they'll just place them inside the next potential bombing target. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
