So whats the score in Iraq?” 3:55:06 PM 3/20/03 “LMAO Aero!” 4:03:38 PM 3/20/03 “BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- The U.S. civilian administrator in Iraq predicted Saturday that Saddam Hussein will be tracked down, but warned that the threat from "foreign terrorists" infiltrating the country would persist even after Saddam is captured and the remnants of his regime are hunted down. "Saddam Hussein is finished" in Iraq, he said. In answer to a question, he said he didn't think increasing the bounty for information leading to Saddam would make much difference.

One U.S. soldier was killed and three were wounded in a rocket-propelled grenade attack on their convoy in an area north of Baghdad early Saturday, a U.S. military spokeswoman said. The incident, involving soldiers from the Army's 4th Infantry Division, brings to 53 the number of U.S. troops killed in hostile action in Iraq since President Bush's May 1 declaration of an end to major combat operations. A total 250 U.S. troops have been killed in Iraq since the start of the war, 167 of those from hostile fire. (Interactive: Troop deaths in Iraq) An Iraqi woman was killed Friday when U.S. soldiers shot back in self-defense during an attack in the al Manseur district, U.S. Central Command said. The woman was standing near the spot where unknown assailants dropped an explosive device from a highway overpass on a six-vehicle convoy. .....Kill first and ask questions later, hope if you kill enough Iraqis, one will be Saddam. Osama is finished, too. Except....” 2:17:55 PM 8/02/03 “I can read the news elsewhere or watch it on TV. Why do you post this crap here?” 3:23:03 PM 8/02/03
