When the might of the US Army and Marines rolls into Baghdad they're going to find a bunch of Aussie and British SAS playing football with Saddam's head and wondering if the Americans brought any beer.

After this is over there's going to be a HUGE AUS/UK/US party going on.

When I look at Jessica's picture, I see my young daughter, a Marine Corps Staff Sergeant who is also an aviation supply tech.

Frequent distant explosions on the CBS Baghdad cam....they seem to be getting closer to the camera and increasing in frequency.

I've been speculating for some time that we have had some of our big boys loitering near Baghdad fully loaded just lying in wait, alert for any possible breakout of their RG forces attempting to flee into Baghdad. If so, they are unloading on them one by one as they come out of hiding and attempt to run, and I would expect exactly what you are reporting.

He looks lie he's back doing what he loves, being in the field with the military

He is really an amazing man IMO, especially after all the controversy around him he really has come out to be to me the epitome of an American soldier

Geocities allocates a certain about of traffic per website per day. So many people have tried to access your web site that it's expended that allocation.

Everyone, please pray for them & their families. I hope there pain was noth there. I hope the families have peace in their hearts.

I don't get it! I've done some serious flipping, and no one is talking about killed POW's! (Not even CNN, and you know they'd be talking about it wall to wall). What's going on?????

Somehow I think the whole CentCom thing got out of their control somehow.

If CNN reports are accurate (and I suspect they are), then I'm at aloss as to how anybody could justify trying to spin the rescue of one as good news, wihout acknowledging, at the same time, the losses of the others. No matter how the losses occured.

The last thing we need is some BS spin game from military and administration.

I heard the story but I purposefully avoided the thread. That would send me over the edge.

Sorry about that, I wasn't trying to be or sound critical. Was just laying out a bit of the reasoning I had used.

LOL. Were that the case, but I have a hunch (nothing to back it up, except Desert Storm) that your boys are out huntin' scuds.
