Brit Baer on Fox News just announced. Coming up in 1 hour.
Update: 3ID soldier to have briefing about collecting and destroying 200 tons of explosives on April 13.
I don't know. I think I am getting to old for this stuff.
The last Election took a lot out of me. I dread Tuesday night. But, we all have to go through it. :)

Whos Behind the Bush-Futures Attacks?
Someone's playing with the market..Interesting read...
You are practically raving, ApesFor. And over NOTHING. Is this how you greet newcomers? Is this how you were greeted when you were new? Pharmamom was being more gentle with a mild, mild criticism, more along the lines of a little gentle teasing... and now you're going ballistic. Get a grip. Newbie.
Any and every day of the week FRiend...
Actually, it was. You addressed your post to "All."
The thing withthe NY Slimes story is they keep failing to mention that 3ID was there BEFORE the 101st Airborn. Ugh!! Perhaps because mentioning it will put (the obvious) holes in their story?
GO 3ID!! (Out of Hunter AAFB in Savannah, GA!! I recently moved back to NY from lovely Savannah and I can tell you that the military presence down there LOVES and totally supports our President!)
LOL
Lunar eclipse casualties everywhere...
Bottom line up front: In my informed opinion, this press conference presented a true and accurate accounting of what happened to the ammunition in question.
As many of you know, my unit did similar ammunition removal operations to those described by MAJ Pierson at the Pentagon press conference today (though not in the same area). As he was speaking, I realized he commanded the facility that we hauled both US and captured Iraqi ammunition from and to. Everything he's describing is consistent with my experience. I toured his captured ammunition holding area (CAHA) as part of our preparation for that mission. It was huge. It was later destroyed by a fire as he describes because White Phosphorous ammunition gets very volatile when left exposed to the weather. We lost several trucks to WP rounds getting mixed in with the HE and cooking off. At the CAHA, they had a special pit (two to three stories deep) to handle WP rounds that cooked off, but since the WP was mixed with the high explosives, the fire started. It happened in other CAHAs as well. In fact, if memory serves, a CAHA controlled by the USMC went up the same week Dogwood blew.
I guarantee that right now folks are digging through the records of our reports of our captured ammunition hauling operations to find all references to explosives (as opposed to ammunition). Those reports will take a while to get through, but they'll get through them. I bet every soldier in Pierson's unit is being sought out to be interviewed by investigators, too. The Major probably didn't handle a lot of the ammo himself, but his soldiers will have handled it all.
I notice from the press conference that the press weanies are looking for every excuse to discredit or diminish his unit's efforts in defense of our country.
Remember the terrorists that tried to claim THEY took the ammo? Who do they want to win this election? Who does CBS, NYT, and NBC want to win this election? Who do you believe?
Oh I knew it was fake. Just like everything else about him.
I still say the Rats put FnKerry up there to be a figure head if he should (gag) win. Then we will be run by the likes of Fat Ted Kennedy and his ilk.
Parish the thoughts.
Media is already spinning reports on Pentagon Briefing...
....ABC Radio: "Raised more questions than it answered..."
I HATE THE LIBERAL MEDIA.
I am new too! I feel the same way you do-Shelion has been great!
CBS has to distort the truth because after all everyone knows they were in bed with the NY Slimes. If their name hadn't been mentioned, they would have less of a reason to spin. The MSM is just trying to confuse the issue more because they've already ate the bait and got cooked up. No one will believe them now over a military Major that was "doing his job" and had no ax to grind until now.
thank you-turning it on right now!
God didn't raise up Bush - WE DID!
If you want to look at this country theologically, there is no better test of free will in the history of mankind than American Democracy.
In my humble opinion, God raised up the ISSUES - partial birth abortion, gay marriage, patriotism - and said, "Make your pick. Choose the road you want your nation to go down."
The moral right and wrongness of what we are dealing with today are so black-and-white, God is giving our country the chance to turn the knife on itself.
People like to tie God and America in with Armageddon. Maybe not. Maybe God will do what He's done throughout recorded history... and just let us destroy ourselves.
WHAT? The explosives were blown up.................. HELLO PRESS!! Do you have anything left between your ears, other than a vacuum??????
Me, too.
He is so stiff. There is just something about him....like he has been cloned from something else. I can't say what, because I don't want to get kicked out. LOL!
CHENEY ON RUSH RIGHT NOW!!!
