This thread just popped up a moment ago:

Black Muslim US soldier is a suspect! ("10 U.S. Soldiers Hurt In Grenade Attack")

A very short mention (you might have to read twice to find it) anserwing your "wonder if".

You have to ask an airdale. I have no idea of the lift capacity of the C-5.

Thanks for the link. Off to guantanamo for some R & R and a tad of interogation.

I've heard Don Cherry on the Jim Rome show a couple of times...no wonder you guys consider him a national treasure up there. He's hilarious, and not only that, he's smart and he knows his stuff. I'm glad to hear he's one Canadian that's backing us up!

"Fragging is when one soldier frags (fragmentation grenade)at another soldier."

Usually an enlisted man fragging a stupid officer who is going to get the entire squad killed because of lack of experience or good sense. The term was popularized during the Vietnam war.

AAA in Baghdad. We saw something that looked like a missle going up from the horizon, behind the citizen. And now we can hear the explosion. Had to go to CNN to see the coverage. FNC ignored the missle that went up.

sky news has a reporter at the tents where the grenades went off

the guy hasn't been in country very long

Greg, if you have fox news, they have went over the exact locations that were bombed during the S&A on friday, in detail. They show how Saddam's palace complex is almost 2 miles long, and how he doesn't like neighbors, as one commentator put it. The bombs dropped yesterday were hitting this one specific place. Anyway, you could tape it and let him see it.

Fox: Three explosions in Baghdad.

[Dolphy]

Wow, CBS, no less, reporting a soldier described as a black Muslim.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Greg Kelly's reports are awesome. Bret Baier said we have plenty of air support for the troops on the ground tonight. Waiting's hard....harder for the troops, and families, huh.

I was an engineer on them in the late 80s. They can carry over 250,000lbs. It would be just a matter of the length.

According to Sky News speaking to Fox News, they located those translators. That is when they began the search for the missing soldier.
