I posted this on a thread about Tarik Aziz making a taped press appearance today, and want to throw it out to this crowd:
Here's my take.
The problem for Aziz, the Minister of Information, the VP and all the others left in the Iraqi leadership is that our stated goal is the elimination of Saddam's regime - which includes them. They also know our stated military tactic is "decapitation", which may have already been successful with Saddam and/or his sons.
Since the end of the 48 hour deadline they haven't had any cards to play other than suicide squads and manipulating the Arab media. Either tactics would have been effective in a pre-911 "politically correct" world - and it worked. I give you the UN "oil for food" program and Clinton's withdrawl of UN inspectors as exhibit A & B. The Iraqi's used the media to inflame Arabs and limp-wrists throughout the world.
Just as the RATS learned in the 2002 election, times have changed. The American people and our President are as serious as a heart attack and will not yield to the tactics that would have worked just a few months ago.
The Iraqi and the RAT playbooks are useless given today's reality.
JMHO.

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!

FoxNews. Briefing will bring "extremely good news" due to the hour. They wouldn't schedule a briefing in the middle of the nite (there) for bad news.
Rules of engagement changed...
"Firing Permitted on All Buildings
As fighting raged from Basra to Baghdad, members of the 101st Airborne Division involved in street clashes in the holy Iraqi city of Najaf were given new rules of engagement, ABCNEWS has learned.
A high-ranking military source told ABCNEWS that they were now permitted to fire upon all buildings, including residences and buildings of religious or historical value.
The change in orders came about after U.S. military officials say they learned that Iraqi forces were using religious landmarks as shields and hiding anti-aircraft artillery next to mosques."
