It can't be true. They said they wouldn't do it.

Same report said that these oil fields are in a strategic location, so we can't expect for the Iraqis to be left alone lighting them for long. He said he'd be able to talk to them on the phone is a little while and to expect some fireworks. (something like that)

Rick Leventhal is the reporter and they are taking heavy fire. He can't be specific on the location. Yelling. They have to roll.

It can't be true. They said they wouldn't do it.

And it can't be true that they fired scuds, they said they don't have any.

Yes, well, there you have it. This is a sign that Saddam is still with us, as well. How and ever, the boys might have bought the farm.

The panzer columns will start rolling very soon. Expect Shock and Awe to begin tonight.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

And it can't be true that last night Saddam gave the heads up to Palestine and jihad, sine he does not support terrorism.

I thought this was a "last resort" tactic.

What's the deal?

CNN (all i have )has reported that a Marine NBC truck has given a GAS ALARM after "missiles went overhead.
This was from a embedded reporter, and due to the sound of his voice he had his mask on
