On my ride into work, ABC News reported that before the bombing started yesterday evening, a Spec Ops helicopter crashed inside Iraq. NO INJURIES and our guys were extracted from site and copter remains were destroyed .

Have we been given any indication yet about the results of the proactive strikes yesterday against the leaders? Any ideas on when this info will become available?

On Fox News, Major Garret, who Brian Kilmeade called Mary, reported from the Pentagon on this morning attacks. He said it may have been a scud, or an Al Samoud, or a smaller ship missile. He pointed out that the scuds were easiest to hit with our patriot missiles. He said the light aircraft might have been a cessna, amnned or unmanned, with or without chemicals onboard.

This guy looks like one of the Muppets!

LOL He looks a little older than Saddumb to me and that was my opinion when I first saw him on television last night.

Fog of war is a term used to describe battlefield confusion in not being able to "see" an accurate view of what is happening in an engagement.

Just to be clear, they're both with the Marines, but with different units. Ollie is with the 1st Expeditionary Force. I don't know who Leventhal is with.

That's Bill Hemmer with the body armor on...in Kuwait City!!! A long way from the front. I think he is overreacting just a bit, Sheesh!! Chill out Bill.
