He is there though...on the tank, in airplanes, do all kinds of adventurous Geraldo type activities...

[TexKat]

CNN having really good coverage right now.

Yes, did you happen to see the Iraqi soldiers that it appear was laying a trap in Mosul. I sure hope Tommy Franks or someone saw that.

[smokeyjon]

LOL! Protestors in Portland getting dragged to the pokie!

David who???????????

Hackworth. One of the retired military analysts making the rounds on all the cable news channels, trying to sell his book. You know, always a stylish black turtleneck and a really effeminate voice, the kind my husband makes me "mute" every time he's on.

Black smoke really moving into Kuwait. Fox reporter wearing a surgical mask.

[Fledermaus]

Good for them. Over 1,000 in San Fran hauled in. I hope they can fine them big bucks!

[Tree of Liberty]

Still mortar fire on the Kuwait border. Probably what caused the air raid sirens a few minutes ago.

[TexKat]

Ollie should have stayed at home.

[momofsixgirls]

Can you believe all these idiots! Boosting the police funds. bail and such ought to be pretty good in the big cities

[GeorgiaYankee]

Boy, we sure are "enraging the Arab street" and "playing right into Al Qaeda's hands"!!! I'm sure their recruits are lined up around the block!!

I wish--- it would make it easier for the Predator to find them!!

[momofsixgirls]

didn't mean to make it sound like it was bad for police, meant it was a good thing the idiots are doing, boostin the economy by a little, nice to see them doing their part.

[GOPyouth]

I'm quite happy Ollie was allowed to go in with his fraternity. He's an awesome guy.

[Balata]

The CH46 does have it's own problems. It's an old Vietnam-era helicopter and has been a workhorse for the military for over five decades. But unfortunately, the Osprey was designed to take it's place and never did. IMO, the old horse is ready for the glue factory.

[SoldiersGirl]

My husband told me whenever i start to get nervous, or confused about whats going on, to watch Ollie because he tells it straight, no spin.

Talk about idiots!

They will, I'm sure, blame Bush for denying them their dissent when it is they that are breaking the law and denying everyone else their rights to go to work.

They have no right to obstruct public thruways and public property.

When I was in SF last week, they consitently disobeyed traffic lights and would walk across the street when it said "Don't Walk".

I got to yell at a few of them though! Unfortunately, I was driving and only took a few pictures!

Boston.com, by Associated Press reports:
MONTREAL (AP) Fans booed during the playing of the U.S. national anthem before the New York Islanders' 6-3 victory over the Montreal Canadiens on Thursday night.

"the reason we're fighting in sandstorm season is FRANCE"

When this is over, time for French Fried Frogs! And some of the hot oil in the Iraqi desert is just the scene! Fuque Fuquing Fuquers From France!

[lorrainer]

Thanks. Keep me up to date, please. Husband has control of the remote right now and is tired of the war coverage. Reminds him of the DC sniper coverage, he says. I'll have to tell him about Moose being called up, LOL.

Last fall during his book-tour, I was driving over to Coronado to meet him. I got behind his bus over the bridge and followed him all the way into Coronado. He was a really nice guy. I've enjoyed reading his first book so far. I'll hit his novel before too long.
