Ok - missed the whole day so far (field trip for my son) so would someone please catch me up on the following:

1. Hard news (confirmed information)

2. Soft news (rumors and such)

3. Significant FR Banter (go ahead and cringe but the F-16 Pirate was the highlight of my day yesterday!)

Since all the media are trying to portray this war as a quagmire after a measely week, perhaps GWB has a mandate to go into Iran?? Afterall, if they are already convinced how horrible everything is after the world's most successful military campaign in history, how much more could they complain? sure would be funny watching the press conference with Rummy!

Picture of bombing from a little earlier for those of us stuck with sucky or no web cams...Link

Aside from the bombing a little earlier, not a whole lot. BTW, pirates are usually the highlight of my day, too.

During the bombing of Baghdad the Iraqi information minister was being interviewed. He claimed:

1 We are idiots

2 No one was afraid, despite the idiots attempting to frighten them

3 The Iraqi army downed 186 of our missles.

Those claims were followed by several attempts to make #3 a true statement. Such as, they were downed by buildings, they were downed by hitting the ground, ect.

Argh! The F16 Pirate is after the scurvy dogs in Baghdad!
