Nothing up on any wires or webistes I could see, but it was reported by tow different network imbedded reporters so there may be something to it.

Its been reported that 4th infantry will be in place by April 1, so I don't know what the stop would be for other than more resupplies.

[Ditter]

Sweet Vermont cheddar is the BEST, but I don't know about the *goat* part.

[cyncooper]

This is unacceptable!

This is not true!

(question: why do you always believe the negative things about this administration, in this case the military operation they are running. In the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary?)

[Ditter]

Sweet Vermont cheddar the brand name starts with a "G". Could it be *GOAT* Brand Vermont Cheddar?

[cyncooper]

why do you always believe the negative things about this administration

Amend to say: the negative things SAID about this administration

[RLJVet]

I LOVE Gruyere. Try the Spanish Manchego.

[cinFLA]

There appears to be total confusion on this issue. Are we standing down or not?

As the military said when asked why the game plan had changed ....

How can you say the plan is changed when you have no idea what the plan was, THANK GOODNESS.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Even if we do stop for a few days, we will use the time to rest, repair equipment, bring up the 4th ID heavies, more Marines, more paratroopers, and most of all, have the air power blow the crap out of anything that even looks like a piece of military equipment.

At the same time we build up our forces in the west and north and start moving in from there.

Don't forget, we bombed the crap out of Iraq for 45 days before the ground war began in '91.

[RLJVet]

Thanks. No, it was a last name. Probably the name of the processor. Gadsen's or something like that.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Or perhaps the media is being used to lure more RG out of Baghdad where they can be dealt with less collateral damage.

[cinFLA]

Who then, does it apply to?

My friend in Alaska said a moose came and ate the halloween pumpkin that was on her porch.

Did she say what kind of moose it was and ask her also why her halloween pumpkin was still on her porch at the end of March.

[weegee]

Is this series?

[John Jamieson]

30 days is BS.

Why won't the stupid press give us credit for the other 100,000 troops with wings instead of boots. They're reducing the enemy about 2% a day. The boots on the ground only have to help get the rats out of their holes so the eagles can get them.

[CheneyChick]

Well, the series moose incident was a few years ago. Somebody posted something about cheese and it made me think of it. She took a picture of it and sent it to me. I couldn't even tell you if it was a he-moose or a she-moose.

What is the plural of moose, anyway?

[Lauratealeaf]

Did she say what kind of moose it was and ask her also why her halloween pumpkin was still on her porch at the end of March.

That would be an awfully rotten pumpkin. At least the moose cleaned up the mess for her.

[Salvation]

**waiting for the iraqis to become more desperate and come at US forces would be a good plan.**

I've wondered about this -- they would definitely continue the bombing campaign.

[nicmarlo]

OMG, Its the holy hand grenade!

LAUNCELOT: We have the Holy Hand Grenade.
ARTHUR: How does it, um-- how does it work?
LAUNCELOT:I know not, my liege.
ARTHUR: Consult the Book of Armaments!
BROTHER MAYNARD: Armaments, chapter two, verses nine to twenty-one.
SECOND BROTHER: And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, 'O Lord, bless this Thy hand grenade that, with it, Thou mayest blow Thine enemies to tiny bits in Thy mercy.'
SECOND BROTHER: And the Lord spake, saying, 'First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three. No more. No less. Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then, lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.'

GI's and rumors, what a concept. The only thing new here is reporto-trash that think rumors ought to be reported.

[Enemy Of The State]

I love threads like this, it brings out all the arm-chair generals.

Thanks for the latenite entertainment!
