Fox News reported it and Charles Krauthammer was particularly distressed about it.

Watch for the guy with the chairs, they look like those old plastic formed lawn chairs, but he's happier about that than a pig in , well you know.

I sure will be watching...hope Fox carrys it....I cannot stand, truly, to even see the faces of Tommy, Peter and Danny anymore. I dispise them.

A Freeper earlier said that it wasn't uncommon for Turkish soldiers to cross the border.

This was mentioned in Rumsfeld's briefing this afternoon. I don't know if Rumsfeld said it or the General.

For them it really is all about me, me and ME!

I mean, really, they've spent thousands of dollars on their gowns and jewels. How dare they be pre-empted.

Our guys are awesome. (^:

Oh yeah!

[Fledermaus]

nah, they get to wear all that stuff for free. It's advertising for the designer and jeweler!

[starfish]

I've finally caught up with this thread(skipped a little).
What a day!

[Howlin]

Thanks. I'll eventually catch up.

Coming to the rally?

[SoldiersGirl]

Why on earth does it make me so happy every time I hear Rummy say "opine"?

[woodyinscc]

Krauthammer just said it it could be a big problem.

We might have to be buffer between the Kurds and Turkey!

Colin Powell says no quid pro quo on this matter to get air space!

CNN - pouring gasoline on a spark. Anything to undermine our efforts. A Freeper earlier said that it wasn't uncommon for Turkish soldiers to cross the border. If it doesn't come from FoxNews or the administration, I get a second opinion. CNN, Reuters, BBC...Big 3..their animosity towards our President makes them not just unreliable, but a tool for our enemies, imho.

I join your imho! But I am trying to keep my comtempt and utter disbelief under my hat because I know our heroic troops are out there with their lives on the line going about the business of liquidating Saddam and liberating Iraq. But there is a strong part of moi that prays these stations and news outlets suffer greatly after this war.... that people turn from them in droves.

[knak]

they want the world to look at THEM and nothing else, they can't stand it knowing we don't care (atleast I don't)

[Carolina]

My son's best friend is getting Eagle Scout at the same time as the rally. :( They worked hard together for his Eagle project at a target range.

Read the thread referenced below, re: Turkey moving 1,000 into Iraq. At this point, IMO, not a big deal.

Agree with the poster who says CNN, et al is trying to stir the pot.

"I've finally caught up with this thread(skipped a little)."

I'm trying to miss as much as possible. I fixed an outlet, shopped for dinner, rode my BSA around town a couple of times and rode my HD to Home Depot to buy some hardware.

Now, I'm thinking about watching a movie on the sattellite dish.

It's going to be rehashing until about noon tomorrow.

Dunno, but this ought to put a smile in your day:

Turkey's being Turkey. It has a brand new, extremely inexperienced government. I think we opted to stay out if we couldn't get the whole package. The fly over rights was something Turkey could appease us with and I bet they didn't cost us a dime.

Heh heh!

I am not going to be watching and bet a lot of folks will be doing the same thing....they can have their little bash President Bush Party all by their lonesome while the sponsors take it in the shorts!

CNN has confirmed the entire 51st Iraqi Division guarding Basra has surrendered....

Looks like Basra has fallen..
