Watch it now.

Iraqi troops claim that they saw 2 American pilots parachute into the river, and have been firing into it and the reeds to find them.

The pictures I am seeing are quite shocking.
They are setting the reeds alight and everything.

It's only just starting to hit home that this War really is getting into motion.


Television reports from Iraq say an allied aircrew has been captured after being forced to bail out of their plane above Baghdad.

But US military officials said they had no knowledge of any planes missing.


The Arabic television network Al-Jazeera said the pair were seen parachuting into the River Tigris.

Live television pictures showed yelling soldiers searching the banks of the river and firing volleys of shots into the water. Later, they appeared to find something in tall reeds at the river's edge.

Other troops in speedboats searched up and down the water.

US Air Force General Richard Myers, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, on discounted the claims.

"We have nothing to substantiate that claim by the Iraqis that any pilot has bailed out of his airplane over Baghdad," he told American television.

There are picutres of the Iraqi troops and civilians who have gathered near the reeds celebrating for some reason, yet America deny the claims of captured pilots.

But they wouldn't be celebrating for nothing.
So, somethings going on.

I was watching two news channels, and sky news said that 1 pilot had been captured and that they were searching for another one, but on ITV news, they said that both the pilots had been captured...
It is like chinese whispers...

That's what you get when every 3 soldiers have a reporter each constantly asking them how they feel and if they miss their families.

The yanks just said on Fox news they have no comfirmation of any planes shot down over Bagdad, although they do admit at least 10 troops are missing. It's hard to believe anything in this war, rumours seem to fly off left right and centre.
