Gaza on the Tigris
Jets and helicopter gunships swooping over a densely populated city, massacring dozens of people below. Gaza City? No, Baghdad.
U.S. jets screamed low over the capital and helicopter gunships swooped in to pound a central Baghdad battleground Tuesday, supporting Iraqi and American troops in a daylong fight that officials said killed 50 insurgents in a militant Sunni Arab stronghold.Really, what can you say? Other than the obvious -- Out now!
The battle raged on Haifa Street about 1 1/2 miles north of the heavily fortified Green Zone.
