We all need to brace ourselves....the tough part will begin today I think.

[Carolina]

BeebDweeb Nicholas Witchell very gravely saying the Iraqis must be forcing the coalition to fight on their terms. The coalition move being stalled by the pockets of fierce resistance.

[Dog]

Stock market going nuts ....down over 200.

...I know they were already motivated but I would not want to have 30,000 UMC as mad as hell after ME.

LOL!! Me either! I think it was Mike Tobin on Fox News yesterday gave detailed description of the video and just hearing it made me sick and angry.

[Miss Marple]

Wall Street apparently watching CNN. I am on a mission today to discredit the clymers on that network and ABC. All assistance in this effort will be appreciated.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

More than one MIG, it appears. (^;

Gen. Franks=Rummy 2...the press stocks up on aspirin.

"This platform is not a platform for propaganda. It's a platform for truth."

He had to enjoy saying that to the listening world.

[steveegg]

Not surprising. The Frogs/Krauts have been trying to wreck our markets for quite a while.

I move we send a copy of the belly girl picture to every male soldier and marine currently in the area. Could be the next Betty Grable.

I've been watching you guys drooling over her all weekend. Funny! But, I am sure you are probably right about sending her photo to the troops.

[StriperSniper]

Hope the bombing starts soon.

I don't know how good her math is, but this morning E.D. on FOX said the B-52s should be over theater around noon.

[Semper Paratus]

I'm hoping by next week when I open up any Baghdad live cam I see a GI peering in saying "Hi Mom"

[CasearianDaoist]

Real rough futures market last night. It might bounce back by noon, at least for the DOW that is. NASDAQ could be rought today.

[AppyPappy]

If resistance was "fierce", we would have more casualties. I'm guessing resistance is spotty and moderate. One guy with an AK can bring down a helo.

[Timeout]

At almost the same time mine went black, MSNBC was showing the live feed from that camera. (You were right, it's Kerry's cam, not david's.)

It showed medics tending to wounded on a raised medical table (unfortunately, what I referred to earlier as looking like a map table).

[steveegg]

Cokie Rob...er, Kofi Annan on CNN/PMSNBC now.

[Dog]

Koffie Can is speaking at the UN....ugh!

[prairiebreeze]

The AAA shot down an Apache?? Guess I hadn't read or heard that yet. Darn.

[Lauratealeaf]

Your husband's friend has no doubt been listening to CNN, the Tokyo Rose Network. He should be given the link to this thread, Ralph Peters article, and get a dish so he can watch Fox News.

Yes, I am emailing him this link right now. I don't think he watches the Fox News Channel. I can't understand people watching the networks or CNN.

[steveegg]

It will happen. Don't know when (I won't hold you to the "next week" comment), but it will happen.

[JFC]

does anyone have a link to a 24 hour news we can watch this at work?
