I have 6 hours of CNN Iraq war coverage from 1992 I taped overnight the night we first bombed Baghdad.
Since it was taped in EP and is about 16 years old, it must be in shit condition.

"Salata described that first mission into Baghdad as surrealistic.
"None of us, except the DO (deputy commander for operations), had ever been in combat before, so we didn't know what to expect," Salata said. "The first time I saw triple-A [anti-aircraft artillery], I wasn't quite sure what it was. I thought something in the city was on fire. The flak was still fairly light, but after we dropped the first bombs, the city lit up like a Christmas tree.
"Triple-A was coming from all directions, some of it in streams and some of it heavy stuff going up over the cockpit and exploding," he said. "It was an amazing sight. I nearly forgot about my second target because I was watching the display outside the window."
More than 3,000 anti-aircraft guns and 60 surface-to-air missile batteries protected the city, but despite this seemingly impenetrable shield, the Nighthawks owned the skies over the city and, for that matter, the country. The Saudis nicknamed the sleek, angular jet "Shabah," Arabic for ghost.
The stealth fighter, which is coated with a radar-absorbent material, operated over Iraq and Kuwait with impunity, unscathed by enemy guns. Of the 36 jets deployed from the 37th Tactical Fighter Wing based at Tonopah Test Range-located 150 miles west of Las Vegas, Nev.-not one received a single scratch from flak, shrapnel or bullets.""
