According to the BBC, The Gaurdian and CNN baghdad has fallen into hands off the US forces and thus the war is over.
I am anxious for more news.

The war ain't over bud. We still have a lot of Baghdad to secure and there is still the issue of the north.

Hooray end of the war nearing, I wonder if it'll come out on DVD with special features . . . . . .

Hugh, my 9 year old niece told me that joke a few days ago, LOL. I guess it really gets around.

Any and all are welcome to discuss the liberation of Baghdad in the philo & silliness section.

Xpirex, I was there the first time...that was enough for me. I just hope the battles to the North are finished quickly, with a minimum of casualties.

I'm sorry, but I guess it's safe to assume you've never taken a group that you relate to and used the collective pronoun "we" while describing it? It probably happened the last time you talked about your favorite sports team (or any other group you're not a part of that you closely relate to).

Besides, they're over there representing our nation. I think it's safe to say "they" are part of "us," and "we" are part of "them."

For the record, Xpirex, when Emps said "we have been following the war," he meant "we have been keeping track of what's going on in the war," not "we've been tagging along behind the soldiers as they rolled into Baghdad."

But I thought that was pretty obvious...

Suho: I hadn't noticed what Emps wrote (I started filtering out his posts after the 4000th ), but I had assumed it was in reply to SPyX's comment. I've been known to be wrong though. Very often.

Raptor: Um, yup, I think this may be one of those times when you're wrong.

Emps said: "We have been following the war here (link to thread)", and then Xpirex runs in saying, "We? We? Were any of you guys there?"

I was just trying to clarify what Emps said, since it appears that Xpirex misinterpreted it.

And now I have had to clarify what I said to clarify what Emps said.

I'll be down in the basement hooked up to the ECT machine if anyone needs me.

It was poor timing, but I think he was responding to "We still have a lot of Baghdad to secure and there is still the issue of the north." by SPyX.

He should have quoted, but what does it matter anyway? Maybe someone HAS been there.

Wherever there is anarchy and destruction you will always find the 1 Sandwhich Short of a Picnic Brigade (we call ourselves the Fighting First Sandwhich) giving essential advice on hitting stuff with other stuff. Xpirex as you are new here you weren't in the first crack units (crack because our trousers ride low and when we bend over...... or it might be cracked units) that got sent in - parachuting in a straightjacket is certainly a skill (its pulling the ripcord with your teeth). However, Baghdad looks to be a city in desperate need of black pills so you can join the second wave if you like.

Well I was obviously in Iraq. I was sitting around in the power station all day. It was boring.
