Street combat in Baghdad




CNN's Arwa Damon provides an intense inside look at street fighting in Baghdad
Arwa Damon is a tremendous asset to CNN, her willingness to imbed with the units in the streets is admirable to tell us, the viewers the real story, from the rooftops, the streets while rounds are flying past. I understand why the soldiers do it, I was an infantry sergeant, I don't know why the reporters do it day after day, they have my admiration. Not Just Darwa but all of them, the Iraqi CNN crews and the producers the interpreters etc, I salute them all
Thank you Arwa Damon for the footage of this battle. My son is with this unit and I believe I caught a view sites of him. He had just called his Dad and told us to watch CNN because you guys were there. Thank you CNN for allow us to see what our soldiers (and son's and daughter's) are facing everyday.
