Quoted from MSNBC site:

Thousands of residents were fleeing north from the Iraqi capital in a stream of bumper-to-bumper vehicles Friday after U.S. troops seized the city’s international airport and electrical power remained off for a second straight day. But a televised appearance by President Saddam Hussein being cheered by crowds in a street here may rally support for his government.

How did they see a televised appearance by President Saddam Hussein if the power was down?

That\'s not irony, it\'s a paradox.

True. Actually the irony is that they spent the time to put this video together to broadcast AFTER they shut the power down in the city.

But it actually is still a paradox. That\'s why I shoot video and don\'t teach english class.

How were the soldiers from the british forces and the Iraqis playing football together televised?

The transmitter obviously has power.

Dude, the point is that no one in Baghdad could see it. People could see it elsewhere.

I quit.
