NEWS DIGEST
A CNN Summary Of Events In Iraq
Wolf Blitzer: Hello and welcome to CNN's continuing coverage of the war in Afgha ... Yugo ... Iraq. It's now 3 am and time to give a rundown of all the things we don't know at this point. But before we do let's go to CNN's Walter Rogers. Hello, Walter, what don't you know at this point?
Walter: Hello, Wolf, I am here with the US troops in an area I am not sure of and there is a sound I cannot identify. Can you repeat the question?
Wolf: Sorry, Walter, we will get back to you. But now we are getting word from our correspondent Jamie McIntyre at the Pentagon of a breaking development. Jamie, what information are you not being told at this time?
Pentagon Correspondent Jamie McIntyre: Yes, Wolf, we were getting reports and indeed Pentagon officials are confirming that it is now 3:02 in the morning.
Wolf: Thank you, Jamie, for that insightful report. Joining us now in our Washington studio is former Vice President and Senator Dan Qualye. Senator Qualye, you were part of the administration that was engaged in the first Gulf War. What are your feelings at this time?
Dan Qualye: Who am I and why am I here?
Wolf: Always a pleasure to have you with us Senator Qualye and listen to your observations. To my left is former General John Snowball who commanded US troops during the 1898 Spanish American War. General what can you tell us about the battle to this point?
General Snowball: Well, Wolf, as you can clearly see from the highly sophisticated graphics I have laid out before me, this coverage of the Iraqi conflict is costing CNN a fortune.
Wolf: Sorry, General, I am going to have to cut you off. Nic Robertson in Baghdad is now on the line. Nic?
Nic Robertson: Yes, Wolf, indications are that the early strikes by American and British forces may have crippled the regime of Saddam Hussein, or maybe they haven't. One thing we do know is that...
Wolf: Oops, you seem to be breaking up Nic. Over to Christiane Amanpour with more on the story.
Christiane: Yes, Wolf, we can confirm that Saddam or someone who looked liked Saddam but was in fact a descendant of Groucho Marx went on Iraqi television in a live or taped appearance before or after the start of the conflict.
Wolf: Thank you, Christiane. Be sure to stay with CNN for continuing developments as they happen.
