We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail! [President Bush]
US Apache helicopters battled with the Iraqi Second Armored Brigade of the Medina Division. AA fire brought down at least one helicopter; Iraq claimed two craft were brought down.
Saddam addressed the people of Iraq and promised victory soon while discussing many of the recent battles.
Syria claims a US missile hit a bus near the Iraq/Syria border, killing five.
US forces are engaging the enemy at the Karbala Gap.
Fighting continues at An Nasariyah.
Among targets struck in Baghdad, coalition aircraft struck a building belonging to the Iraqi Air Force.
Air raid sirens sounded in the city of An Mawsil yesterday.
Two British soldiers are missing after a skirmish in southern Iraq.
US officials still have not determined what was in the plant they secured at the city of Najaf - about 90 miles south of Baghdad - though they do believe the center was part of the process of producing chemical weapons in Iraq.
US Marines secured a regional headquarters of the Ba'ath Party in Umm Qasr yesterday. In the building were stacks of American leaflets the Marines believed Ba'ath Party members rounded up so they wouldn't be seen by the population.
Remember to not let the victims of the attacks on New York and Washington, nor the brave members of our Nation's military who have given their lives to protect our freedom, die in vain!!
Remember the fallen - a list of American KIAs
For AMERICA - The Right Way, I remain yours in the Cause, the Chairman.
I don't even want to imagine what it was like.
Thank-you lysie.....we should know soon, one way or the other :)
The Agonist, which I linked yesterday, is still my main source of news about the war. That one guy alone, Sean-Paul Kelly, puts out an amazing amount of information and links, about the same amount as those 20 guys at The Command Post. He mentioned last night that he had 32 browser windows open and two TVs on (Fox and CNN). He still finds time to read his readers' comments and reply to e-mails.
...ALLIED FORCES WITHIN 50 MILES OF BAGHDAD

Good morning to all. Much news on the front this week-end... all of it very sad to me. Most of it instilled anger in me especially after listening to the former POW who I relate to very much and is an on-going influence; my father. He is very angry at the treatment of the prisioners. But, he says this type of treatment accurred during WWII also and not all countries are honorable.
May God watch over our troops serving this country so bravely and elequently.
May Michael Moore and his ilk rot in the place where his fingers and toes will be hot pink for all of eternity!

We were shopping at a Total Beverage store. Really, I wanted him to see it since he doesn't have one in PA. When youwalk in the front door, all of the wines are French. He got into a discussion with the clerk about the French, WWII, and this war. I believe he is representive of many of our veterans.
May God watch over our troops serving this country so bravely and elequently.
