There is no hurry, the pause may make sense, probably for reasons that won't be revealed. But is this something that would be announced?

[merrin]

I'm not thinking about a hundred years from now. I'm thinking about tomorrow.

Politics is all about perception. If the perception is that it took us way too much trouble to defeat the pesky little Iraqis, then it doesn't matter politically whether it is objectively true. It emboldens our enemies exactly as if it were true.

I don't like having emboldened enemies. I like my enemies licking my boots.

Levanthol sounding like he doesn't exactly believe it and Shep said Pentagon scratching head wondering if this came from CENTCOM and CENTACOM wondering where this came from. What the hell is up??

[dogbyte12]

Yeah..The whole FOX crew seems to be in good spirits tonight.

Shep ran over a reporter from Al Jazeera tonight with his SUV... you can tell he is ready to go.

[chnsmok]

And a damn fine post it was. And the contribution was much understood.

[Grenada]

Oh my, look what one of my numerous typos lead to..sniker.

[Caribou]

Hope you stayed away from 20 Mark Strassa while you were in K-town. LOL

[BulletBobCo]

Could it be that communications are going on covertly with some people in Bagdad and that they need this time for a coup to take out Sodamn?

[The Wizard]

FOX: 24-48 max, not a pause, all things moving and fighting, time for special ops...

[this_ol_patriot]

Sky News not backing off but saying maybe this was not meant to get out.

[Mr.Crimson]

It definitely shouldnt be.... in fact watching FNC I thought one of the Bag cams got a bit more smoky right before it was reported

We have a tough moral issue coming up. Seriesly. We can turn the RG into swiss cheese, or cut a deal with them. The prob with cutting deal with them to cut short the war, is that these bastards have brutalized the people. I think that the people in Iraq who have suffered, wouldn't appreciate us leaving the RG basically intact, in order to get Hussein. We need to decimate them and their leader, then all will be good.

Ok, I have to throw in the towel for the night. I'm the first to admit how strong and brave our soldiers are, their stamina can run circles around me. Everyone be safe and we'll catch up in the a.m.

Peshwar, the new divorcee on the 2nd balconey who leaves her blinds up is very nice, no?

[Grenada]

Of course we can NOT forget that klintoon running away from Soalia and Haiti has emboldened laden and hussein. You are right about that. They thought that America would run away if things got ugly. I blame klintoon for that horrid video of our dead KIAs...hussein thought that if he showed of our dead warriors, we would turn tail..klintoon did.

[BulletBobCo]

Concur with that.

Sky News just showed a B-52 cockpit interview during which they had to take evasive action due to a SAM missile. Iraq still has some active stuff.

[Grenada]

again you get a naughty bump. we discussed this last night, what ever happened to that story.

[nwpatriot]

The only thing showing that did this time was royally piss us off. Hell shall be paid.
