They were concerned with civilian deaths."

RC, does this mean they are mindful of preventing civilian casualties or that they were concerned about numbers incurred??

Oh No
I went to sleep at like 200 messages....
anyone want to give a summary?

[TomGuy]

it's a shame Fox didn't keep it Friday news team up

Da was tard.

Shep and Brit were on almost 12 hours, with a couple of hour breaks.

[Timeout]

I'm off to a T-ball game.

Would you please ping me on any posts of significant developments?

[Centurion2000]

Suprisingly, the number of trolls hasn't increased proportionaly.

I can tell you why. If you're going to sit and type you are going to have to think (even a little) about what you are posting.

There is NO WAY that trolls can argue with our military's success so far and it scares them to death.

I went to bed at 200 too. Have yet to get a summary. T Franks had a press conference...I've only heard clips.

[Cboldt]

I share your sentiment about NBC and CBS use of this family, and its loss. It is bad for the family, and it is bad for the USA. However, the only language these folks grasp is ratings. Calling, writing, ranting, etc. only give them strength. They don't mind hearing from angry people, it encourages them.

[SoldiersGirl]

Have they released the names of the 4 army dead yet?

[The Wizard]

no offense to Niel Cavuto, but when he had the picture on with then 13 prisioners, it was from their column that the 4 were killed...I know it here, he should have known it there, a reporter would of, but Neil is fine on what he does....

[killjoy]

anyone want to give a summary?

[glock rocks]

[The Wizard]

[SoldiersGirl]

Did Franks slap any reporters yet?
I was still up for the helicopters
Whew, glad I didn't miss S&A.
Good morning belly girl.

[Cboldt]

Not that I know of. But the names of the 4 Marines killed when the chopper crashed are known.

[gop212]

Not that I've heard and I've been watching Fox for the last hour.

[The Wizard]

Fox: just announced that the 4th ID is moving their material thru the canal forgoing Turkey...

[Poser]

Have the Turks put more troops on the ground overnight or did they stop at the initial 1000?

[B4Ranch]

This will enable freepers to locate DAY-3 with a minimum of difficulty.

I didn't see the interview, only the after the interview .. but yesterday Tom Brochov called a mother of one marines that was killed. I'm not sure of all that she said but she left Tom close to tears and he almost lost it.

Maybe other freepers can fill in what she said to him

[Centurion2000]

Who are these troops ?
