"Would the 101st Division Command Staff HQ next to 380 tons of HMX, RDX and PETN during combat?"

Understand that I find this report highly interesting and devastating for the Prokerryites (single-celled brainless creatures), but it is also true that Al QaQaa covers many square miles and 11,000 buildings. So the fact that the101st HQ was there doesn't mean that they were necessarily "next to" the "380 bunkers."

No Check of Bunker, Unit Commander Says (another hit piece from NY Slimes on NYTrogate)

Colonel Anderson, who is now the chief of staff for the 101st and spoke by telephone from Fort Campbell, Ky., said that he did not see any obvious signs of damage when he arrived on April 10, but that his focus was strictly on finding a secure place to collect his troops, who were driving and flying north from Karbala.

That offer was directly from a radio host on a thread with the offer in the title. I'll look around.

They'll get their votes counted only if they cast them in person because the dnc army of lawyers will do anything they can to cancel military votes. The enemy of OUR Republic is within, in the party of democrats.

Gotta be NBC, as it's the three original "networks" that will die off first. All three abused their privilege of media monopoly, so it is natural that they sputter and die, finally. RIP ABC, CBS, NBC!

media monopoly

Memories light the corners of my mind
Misty water-colored memories of the way we were
Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another for the way we were.


Can it be that it was all so simple then
Or has time rewritten every line
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we?
Could we?

Al QaQaa covers many square miles and 11,000 buildings

I think I've read of 87 buildings, but 11,000?

I thought the parked ther for 24 hrs? 2 weeks?

Read it again. He said 2nd battalion spent one night there. That's the one with the embedded NBC reporters. Then division HQ setup camp there for 2 weeks. If true I hardly think they'd let anyone within a mile of the place. Hmmm.

No, I haven't forwarded this to any media outlets. FR is a media outlet nowadays, is it not? ;)

My friend's not media-shy, he has done some public speaking engagements in his community about Operation Iraqi Freedom, and I'm sure he'd like another chance to say something positive about America's accomplishments in Iraq and set the record straight.

I told him about Free Republic, how to get started posting here, and I've e-mailed him a link to this thread. He's probably hit the sack now, but I'll give him a ring tomorrow and see what his reaction is.
