How can there still be Iraqis around the DMZ??!

I have no idea, from what I was watching earlier, it sounded like they had cleared them all out before any convoys crossed over at the DMZ, but that is what SKY is reporting.

[momofsixgirls]

If I remember my history, that might be good news?

[GeorgiaYankee]

Yeah, I saw it flash up for like half a second...i think it was like:

The brown fox is jumping
The brown fox is jumping

And it immediately disappeared. //

Sounds like the graphics operator's "template page" got put on air by mistake!!!

[GOPyouth]

Where is the MSNBC reporter referring to? He's talking about a fierce fire-fight going on with Iraqis.

[momofsixgirls]

nope, just brown fox jumping

John has a long mustache

Saddam is bugging out of the country!

[Tree of Liberty]

FOX - U.S. has taken the H3 air field

[momofsixgirls]

ok, but I like the "John has a long mustache" theory better.

[The Wizard]

coalition has taken second airfield

[smokeyjon]

I must not remember my history...can you enlighten me?

[GOPyouth]

That northern airfield is great. We can do a northern attack into Baghdad now.

Iraq forces surrendering on CNN bump. I wanted video of this and ...i finally got it. I believe it now.

[The Wizard]

british taking prisoners

[Tree of Liberty]

They're both important, but I think that H3 is the better of the two since that's a military base. The one in N. Iraq is a civilian airport, I believe.

[momofsixgirls]

I think it had something to do with D-Day, anyone want to make sure I am right about that?

[lorrainer]

Yeah, they stopped talking about that and started talking about sheep and goats. Maybe we're liberating them from Saddam, also.

I have control of the remote back!!

[Mustang]

Agree w/your above #249. FOD (foriegn object damage), especially with the desert sand and grit, can be a bitch w/ a helo's turbojet engine.

Our prayers go out to those brave souls and their loved ones.

[momofsixgirls]

Good for you!!

Fox - port of Um Kazer near Kuwait is still in Iraqi hands

[TexKat]
