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.

Did you read that article I linked to....it seems we are getting after the thugs in Nasiriya. One source thinks Chemical Ali is in command..

[ABG(anybody but Gore)]

Yeah, but who really knows? I still think Saddam is posing as red/pink spraypaint on some rubble.

[Jemian]

You have freepmail.

[Holding Our Breath]

Yep, I can't imagine just being in those sandstorms let alone fighting a war in them!

gc, You are so funny! Changing sheets at 3 am is no fun, I imagine!

DJ, just read some of yesterday's posts. Yeah! Congrats! Woo-hoo! You are one of my heroes, Deej!

[Jemian]

I know the real Saddam was on their TV. But I thought the "battles" he mentioned was done in a general manner with no specifics. That it was logical there would have been battles in Umm Whatever and Basra, so the tape could have been pre-done. I also understood he praised the commander of their 51st division, the one who surrendered, and the 11th division, which also surrendered.

Could that tape not have been a general, non-specific tape done earlier? What was difinitive about it to show it was made in real time?

[Dog]

I spent some time today researching to see if the Iraqi 51st Division fought in the Al-Faw area during the Iran-Iraq war. I suspect that was tape from that War...

[Dog]

I heard today that the tape was spliced...together.

[Jemian]

Yes, I had heard that too, however, the way our medidiots put it, we're losing the war! Just because it isn't a cakewalk. I didn't expect much better from them; they haven't disappointed me. What does disappoint me is the number of people who still seem to believe the media.

[Mr. Mulliner]

The Agonist has completely impressed me. He's scooping major media and he's doing this all on his own. Of course he has some good sources and has recently said that he can't divulge who they all are, but he has a good track record and I trust him.

[Mr. Mulliner]

Earlier today I heard that Arab news sources were reporting 100 American deaths in the war. The Pentagon just put the figure at 39 for all coalition forces.

[Mr. Mulliner]

Need some good news?

Most of the people are happy to see us

(I'm not sure how recent this news really is, but it's dated today. And surprisingly it's from a Canadian news source.)

[lepton]

I understand people’s objection to war but will fight vigorously with using pacifist grounding as biblical. It is NOT. Not if you take the whole of scripture.

Yes. At specific times and places God told the Isrealites to lay down their arms...but never admonished them for having them in the first place.

[kayak]

Please stop by this thread and tell a submariner of your support for the military.

I received a letter from the depths of the sea

[Chairman_December_19th_Society]

They may be at it again...

CNN IS REPORTING...

..."Abu Dhabi TV shows what it says are two U.S. helicopter pilots captured by Iraqis. Details to come."

[Nothing follows.]

[Chairman_December_19th_Society]

Fox News...

Iraqi TV Shows 2 Men Said to Be U.S. Pilots

[Chairman_December_19th_Society]

Time to go home. Talk to everyone later.

[Jemian]

Yup, I need good news. I'm pretty depressed at the moment. I really wish LD was coming this summer. This has been a downer year for me.

[Dog]

I depise CNN.....loathe them .......those evil clymers....they showed a scene from the POW video when the Iraqi's questioned a couple of the POW's..

I am so mad...

[Dog]

I'm bummed myself today...
