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 know what's wrong with my email. I will set up an new account somewhere.
Mom, I can't come this summer. I miss you dearly, but I can't do it. Maybe next summer and then I can return with you all.
I am signed up for classes next semester. Suddenly I am looking forward to marching band again a lot. I miss it more than I thought I would.

I didn't watch the Oscars last night, but was watching CNN momentarily and saw Michael Moore and his minions get booed. That made my whole evening. And then when Steve Martin said at the very end of the Oscars that the Awards were for the troops, and he hoped they were watching, the audience erupted in applause.

HI! I heard that happened too UT. Then this morning I heard while listening to a radio broadcast that Michael Moore was given multiple high fives at the party he attended afterwards. I am going to write to him to give him a piece of my mind no matter how disabled I am rendered!

From your link at Agonist.....
This might become worrisome...
12:18 EST A fierce battle is underway in An Nasiriyah, adding that U.S. Marines had to withdraw after the intial attempt to get in the city and Americans tanks now are fiercely shelling the Iraqi positions on the city's outskirts. U.S. forces were earlier beaten back from the Euphrates bridge, which they held for a short time. The Iraqi forces in the city consist of several 11th Infantry Division units, Baath Party military units, special Baath police and various militias, including tribal detachments. Ali Hassan al Majid commands the city's defenders, according to one source.
Chemical Ali.... folks.

I love the "Stump Ari" show by the press, and poor ole Helen, what can you say. The press corp is worse than a bunch of school children.

I did watch the Oscars. I know many have mixed feelings on this.. but I wanted to see first hand what was involved. I am a real cinema enthusiast. Personally had early show biz experience via my participation in pro ballet company... Sure I know it is NOT the real world.. But my experience with cinema is truly no different than the reading enthusiast who reads fiction non stop. I am very visually oriented. As a psychologist there is also a strong teaching that myth, fantasy in any form is the basis for healthy balance..
I have seen every movie except "talk to her" & Columbine.. I will now cross off Columbine (Moore was an ass & Steve Martin handled it so well.. If you didnt hear, after he made the tirade comments, Martin came out & said about the good time back there as the teamsters are helping Michael Moore into the trunk of his Lino " lots of laughs from an audience that was booing him & uncomfortable visibly with his attitude. - I will personally be boycotting the ones who have been attacking our president & our efforts in a hateful, disruptive manner. I have many friends (???) Who are on the negative side. Of course, there are tensions there.
The youthful "star" in tu Tambien was a typical immature, idealistic kid - I thought, oh know, here it comes.... and it did. I wanted to see the audience response to anything that was said & for the most part you could see the embarrassment & the anger against those who spoke very out of turn & against the producers demands/requests on propiety. The applause mostly came with the stars that prayed for an early end to war (hey, I am on that page , also !) .. But not until we do the right thing...
Saradan & Streisand both made their statements (Saradan w/peace signal as she walked in & Streisand with her comments that she was glad all lived in country , even stars, where they were permitted to express their opinion. ) Saradad particularly had a very strained look on her face. Both I am sure where grinding their teeth but they pulled it off fairly gracefully. I still have shackles up my back & will not be for awhile going to Saradan films... I feel she is a decent actress..When she attacks my pres/country , she is blackballed.

Wanted to let you know that the radio clip that I did locally on Friday was apparently played over & over on the radio all weekend. I heard it replayed with my name as I was leaving church. I called in the radio station & talked again with the talk show host. This is one of the Clear channel stations & the one that sponsored our local Rally for America in Cleveland. The original clip was that in my opinion the idea of Christianity /biblical grounding do NOT forbid war.. I used Luke 12 .. Among many other things, As basis.. The idea of to those for much is given , much is expected. I explained that Christ first not said this..... not Spidermans uncle. Apparently that resonated very strongly with those listening.
I understand peoples objection to war but will fight vigorously with using pacifist grounding as biblical. It is NOT. Not if you take the whole of scripture.
You can prove anything by pulling a few phrases out of context. Politicians & religous sectists do it regularly. (As we well know.)..
Bye for now
I am doing this quickly due to very tight schedule of taking relatives to hospital in next week.. Will be in & out periodically. So I apologize for typos / misspelling etc. I am never good at that anyway !!!
Just saying hi & putting in my 25 cents along the way
