Huge plume of black smoke billowing up in eastern Baghdad.
Don't know what it is. Watching it on the webcam. This started hours after the most recently reported explosion in Baghdad.

4. Seems to be dying out some, now. Maybe it's no big deal.
No aircraft in the vicinity, either. Usually, the military choppers can be seen flying around, if something is really wrong.

5. Hmm. Two choppers just went by it and, now, the smoke is increasing.

6. Wow...
Where do you find a webcam of Baghdad!? Is it live? This is, for some reason, surprising to me and I'd be really interested to watch it.

12. Paste it into the little window that pops up...
...when you click on "File" and "Open URL," in Windows Media Player or "File" and "Open" in RealPlayer.

The webcam is very unreliable and can be offline for days at a time. Just keep checking on it, if it doesn't open, right away.

11. The smoke comes from the flame of Iraqi freedom,
which flame is burning white hot thanks to the peerless vision and dauntless leadership of George W. Bush.
