Just heard that our fearless leader has unleashed the dogs of war, and will be speaking around 10pm eastern.

Apparently, explosions and tracers are lighting up the sky in the south part of Baghdad at this very moment. Folks, take it from someone who was drafted and served in Vietnam: being stuck in the middle of a bombing like this is worse than any nightmare you could ever possibly imagine.

Jerry Quickley, the hip-hop artist, radio journalist for KPFK, is there now. call KPFK (818)985-2711 and tell them we want to hear from him as often and as much as possible.
