8 missing Marines found safe after 11 days doesn't rate one question from our press at the CENTCOM or Pentagon briefings? Ack! One reporter missing a meal became a "a major disruption in the supply lines" and Iraqi Info lies about civilian casualties rate at least two questions daily. No "minder" is responsible for this attitude.
I'd love to be on a ping list of daily positive news - hold the press accountable for ignoring the truth - our success - and deliberately fueling fear and hate against US by printing incendiary gossip, lies.

I think Rummy has called a couple of them on the unnamed sources bit with "I never said that" and it ended there. That's about as close as you can get to saying "You're a liar" (which is something my attorney says you should never SAY verbally or in writing).

Everybody, I had to go out and trying to catch up but MSNBC just announced Gen Vince Brooks will be making a statement from Centcom in Doha very shortly. Highly unusual this time of day
Sorry if this is old news here, trying to catch up.

Over the Christmas holidays, during her visit, she explained that she would most like to see 'income equality' in our country... So take heart Jaded, your aunt is just a democrat, my sister's a freaking communist.Might be amussing to tell her how much money equals equality. I bet it would be a SUBSTANTIAL pay cut for her...

Left-wing Chris Hitchens on the war in Iraq.
Conservative Peter Hitchens on the war in Iraq.
If buttercups buzz'd after the bee,
If boats were on land, churches on sea,
If ponies rode men and if grass ate the cows,
And cats should be chased into holes by the mouse,
If the mamas sold their babies
To the gypsies for half a crown;
If summer were spring and the other way round,
Then all the world would be upside down.
I guess I have to quit referring to Peter (who I now see is as self-righteous and morally obtuse as any "die-in"-attending college student) as "the good Hitchens brother."

I just got this email that I thought I should share.
Subject: [ALERT] USA Today ad is coming out - send it to our troops
Date: Thu, 27 Mar 2003 05:17:07 -0800
This CONSERVATIVE ALERT prepared for Darlene Rozelle:
ISSUE: FINALLY... after wrangling and jumping through a lot of hoops, our FULL PAGE AD in USA Today, supporting our President and our Troops, is supposed to be published this week! (We just bought Wednesday's edition, and it's not in there... so that means Thursday or Friday, we hope!)
Over 2,000 people contributed to this ad, and we were able to SQUEEEEZE their names and hometown into print. We want our President, our Troops, and our fellow citizens to see that there IS a "silent majority" of Americans that *isn't* taking part in the Socialist-led "peace" marches; and we want the media to sit up and take notice that we demand they cover the "Rallies for America" that hundreds of thousands of people are now coming out for nationwide. (Tens of thousands more are still signing the online petition at RightMarch.com!)
Now, even if you weren't able to contribute to the ad, there's something you can do once it comes out -- you can help support our troops in the Middle East, with a morale boost like they've never seen...
You can send them a copy of the ad, along with the item
they're requesting the most -- an international phone card.
ACTION ITEM: Here's the easiest way to get a "morale package" to our troops:
(1) Buy a copy of USA Today with our full-page "RightMarch.com" ad in it; tear out that ad. (It's also available for printing online at
http://www.conservativealerts.com/usatodayad.pdf) (2) Buy an INTERNATIONAL pre-paid Phone Card at your local Wal-Mart, service station, or whatever's closest to you. If you can't get one locally, you can buy one online
(
http://www.conservativealerts.com/phonecard.htm -- scroll down after you click through, and get the "Global Caller" card), and print out the information that's e-mailed to you on how to use it. (Soldiers are desperate for these, to keep in touch with their families back home.)
(3) Check with friends, neighbors, church members, etc., and see if they have a son/daughter/relative serving in the military that would like to receive a care package; get their name & address for delivery.
(4) Pack up a large envelope or small box (like a shoebox), insert the ad and the phone card (or virtual phone card printout), along with a note of encouragement, and ship it off to your soldier. Instant "morale packages" for our troops!
To ensure that mail gets through to troops, the following
information is given on addressing. Recommended address:
* Soldier's Name (Use of rank is optional)
* Organization to which assigned (Organization name should be included if you have it; however, it is not always used for certain types of forces)
* Unit # xxxx (Unit # is a four digit number assigned to some units, but not all. Where assigned, it should always be used. Soldiers will have notified friends and family if they have one assigned)
* APO AE 09xxx-xxxx(APOs served by New York have a 09 prefix (09xxx); APOs served by San Francisco have a 96 prefix (96xxx), and APOs served by Miami have a 34 prefix (34xxx). The last four xxxx represent a ZIP 4 add-on to the normal five digit APO Zip Code, and have been assigned to some forces. Where assigned, correspondents should have been notified and the four digit add on should always be used to help in automatic sorting of mail.)
THIS IS IMPORTANT: You can NO LONGER send a package to "any service member", ever since the first anthrax threats emerged. The Department of Defense cancelled the anonymous "any service member" mail programs on October 30, 2001. The cancellation has not been rescinded and still remains in effect. The instructions here are the BEST WAY to get your "morale package" to our troops fighting in the mideast.
If you don't have a family member deployed overseas, check with your friends, colleagues, or church members to get the address of someone who is serving. If you still can't find anyone to send to, then package up your items and send them to:
Operation ShoeBox
P.O. Box 1465
Belleview, FL 34421
Operation ShoeBox will package the items and mail them to specific service members who have been deployed. They also need help with postage to mail packages to the troops, but they aren't set up to accept checks or cash. What you can do, if you want to help, is to send them a US Postal Money Order payable to US Postmaster. They can turn these over to the Postmaster, who will apply the amount to the Operation ShoeBox account at the Post Office, on which they can draw for stamps. It costs about $6.00 to send a shoebox.
NOTE: Please forward this e-mail to everyone you know who might also want to send a "morale package" to our troops fighting overseas for our freedom and the freedom of others.
Thank you!

One reporter missing a meal became a "a major disruption in the supply lines"
I was watching Rick Leventhal on FoxNews an hour or so earlier. He was asked about the supply line and supplies. He whined about getting only 1 MRE yesterday--but got 2 today.
