MSNBC just showed Tom Brokaw almost crying as he talked to the Mom of one of the soldiers who were killed, and when they went to black, the words "May God Bless America" came on the screen, and a series of shots of soldiers, standing and holding weapons, scrolled across the screen, then the words "Our Hearts Are With You" came on, then slow fade to black, and the logo of MSNBC came on.
I was really amazed, and moved.

CNN showing some cool footage of live gunfire. This is a city fight.
To: GOPyouth
The reporter is saying the marines are trying to carry out a demolition. There was some RPG fire at the marines.
To: GOPyouth
This may pose a big problem in Baghdad with random people firing RPGs and such at the troops when they go in. We may have another big raid tomorrow to soften these guys up.
To: GOPyouth
This is cool stuff on CNN.
To: GOPyouth
That area looks too hot for that reporter. Shouldn't be there IMO.

Fox is showing clip from 3rd calvary Bradley trying to scout out area to find these Iraqi tanks. They are letting Fox go with them on this run.
To: GOPyouth
There is all sorts of sniper-type fire in Basra. The CNN reporter just said he's got to move and get in a safer place.
To: Aaron0617
WOW..if thats the 3rd Cavalry, they're kickin butt now. (on Fox now)
They weren't moving for a long while.
To: GOPyouth
Large explosion in Basra. Reporter said, "marines aren't happy at what they are seeing."
To: GOPyouth
Something is on fire down the road. I suppose this is an Iraqi tank. Whatever it is, it just got blown up.
To: GOPyouth
I've been watching it, guess they didn't expect any resistance here!

CNN reporter in Basra said they Marines have found tanks in the upteens. They are abandoned and are being set for demolition.
To: GOPyouth
Hey blondee. :)
To: Aaron0617
Regarding the 7th Cavalry (CNN) it looks like the main opposition forces have left. They're just blowing up old tanks.
Basara second largest people. So far, friendly to US forces.
Looks like bad guys left which is why they brought reporters in.
To: Aaron0617
Morning blondee. Meant to turn this off an hour ago, I can't stop.
To: GOPyouth
That's not the 3rd Cav, it's the 3rd Infantry Division.
To: Tree of Liberty
My bad. Thanks
