"Colonel you may want to get behind the van."

I was just watching MSNBC and there was a live audio feed of a firefight going on between U.S. forces and Iraqi Republican Guards, with enemy snipers, RPG, Mortar, and artillery fire. Anyways, it was a serious gun battle going on, and some crazy reporter Bob Arnot was in the thick of it. Here are a couple quotes I remember from the fight:

"My gunner just had a sweet shot to some enemy sniper's head...got him right in the head." -Some Marine-

"Jesus! A bullet just hit right behind our head on the hummer, 3 inches from the Colonel...Colonel you may want to get behind the van, that shot almost hit you..." -Bob Arnot, eerily calm, during his report-

"LAY DOWN YOUR ARMS, YOU ARE ABOUT TO LOSE YOUR LIFE, YOU WILL BE DEAD" -U.S. Marine Translator yelling to enemy troops-

"Hey Jim, come over here, you're in the direct line of fire, I don't want you to get shot." -Bob Arnot, to his photographer-

"You can tell by their faces, you can tell we're doing a lot of good out here..." -U.S. Marine referring to the faces of the children just saved from enemy fire-

"Ok, we're not safe, if we get hit by a rocket or mortar, it's all over...sure a good sniper could take us out, gotta watch out for those" -Bob, to a moronic woman anchor in D.C.-

All in all, Bob Arnot, a Doctor, Embedded Reporter, fluent Arabic speaker, is insane. Very cool, but certifiably insane.
