Red Cross Just announced in 5 days of bombing in Bagland only 1 civilian dead and 33 small in juries.......Eat that you protest scum

Deserves to be posted again. I wonder how many of those injuries are from the bombing and how many are from anti-aircraft fire?

[Lauratealeaf]

Thanks for that link. Good story.

[cajungirl]

I feel compelled to say once again, I hate CNN. It is like you guys with Belly Girl,,I am obsessed with hating them.

Kerry Sanders giving good report of Marine shot in hand...got to talk to his Mom in the states via the reporter's phone. Mom gave great interview and so did the Marine..... (MSNBC).

only 1 civilian dead and 33 small in juries

Not counting leadership, I hope.

Every day in war is an ugly day, we're simply attempting to make this better.

Take your Helen Thomas pills and put on you eye protection!

"Whaaat is the President going to say to the family of that civilian the Red Cross says was killed by our carpet bombing?"

[steveegg]

lol. Also, Fox News will be (exclusively) interviewing Colin Powell at about 2:10 pm EST.

They are not complaints, they are points

Sorry, but he is lodging complaints and said he has concerns that we are being too PC.

I find the "point" that we could be moving more quickly when less than a week has elapsed a non-point.

As to your last point about Bush needing to emerge squeaky clean, that is true. The media are behaving as vultures circling, circling.

[rolling_stone]

I thought that was Engrish and Chinese....

Take your Helen Thomas pills and put on you eye protection!

LMAO!!!

in WWII, the infantry was faster than the armor. Anyway, noone can out drive the fuel trucks for very long. Man- that would be a stinky job - brave dudes. (and dudettes).

[Solson]

You should see my belly guy on my page. :)

You hate CNN? I didn't even think we had to voice that anymore...assumed it was a given. :)

[BulletBobCo]

We're not obsessed. We're hip mo tized.

[null and void]

Maybe Bubba got the STFU message.

That's a first. I sooooo wanted to see him and his "better" half dig themsevles in deeper...

[The Wizard]

didn't say...

[retrokitten]

LOL @ your belly man! He reminds me of when Homer was taking cannon balls in the belly.

[Mo1]

His complaints include leaving the electricity on in Baghdad and reluctance to hit civilian targets

So Rush thinks we should bomb the daylights out of Baghdad like Clinton did in Kosovo?

[steveegg]

Outstanding.

MSNBC - at least 6 explosions rock northern Iraq near Kirkuk. They're now back to the Bloom cam reporting on another one-sided artillery duel.
