How can that be?????? We were told by the Liberals that Saddam had no WMD's, and this was all about oil..... I'm deeply saddened :-)

Sky News has been covering this with a live video feed from Kuwait ... lots of scrambling around and donning suits.

Something not quite right here, FoxNews reported from one of their "embedded" reporters that they were told NOT to put on their gas masks.

It was actually reported several hours ago on Fox and CNN, it was the 3rd Inf. div(I have a friend there btw). And they reported that it wasn't true.

Well then MSNBC is really...reallllyyyyyyyy behind. I havent been watching FOX because they have been down-right dreadful covering this. I cant watch that grainy blocky footage of Oliver North and Whorealdo.

just as we had people say that the ATF placed bombs in the Fed Bldg in OKC, anything we find will be planted by the US military according to some folks.

its a lose lose sitution on finding any WMDs, but all good when we get rid of Saddam.

Been watching CNBC Europe...they are all worried we took Saddam out with a handful of missles. Gold and Oil are dropping like a rock, the dollar will soar today.

The EU leaders waking up to realize they are on the wrong side of history.

That shows how bright you are. Fox has guys with the troops that are actually doing stuff. The other networks are with troops way behind the action who aredoing nothing. Behind the lines full blown satellite links can be used and NBC and CNN are using them. Geraldo is with the 1,000 airborne troops that are going after Osama. North is with the marine troops who will be doing the first ground attack. You can't take a commercial grade uplink into combat. It takes two huge simi trucks to do a commercial grade link. The other networks are back where it is safe.

If really good quality video is what you are after, the Cartoon Channel is putting out superb quality pictures tonight, you may want to watch them.
