It's funny, many of these "peace protesters" are some of the most violent people on Earth. They are for anything but "peace" .... they are for the enemy!

French Claim Insufficient Evidence of Attacks on Kuwait ^

This is just too funny! This just PROVES that the French will accept NO evidence of Saddam's wrongdoing! A MUST READ!!

More re: the Maternity Hospital:

Roland Huguenin-Benjamin, a Red Cross official on-scene, reports on CNN that damage to the Baghdad maternity hospital was the result of the blast-force of a near-by explosion. The hospital was _not_ directly hit or targeted.

No. I got 1000 the other day. I just couldn't resist. The only one I'm missing now is 4,000. I have 1,2,3,5 and 6K. Somehow, I doubt there will be a 7K or higher in a 24 hour period.

I just turned on my Bag Cam and someone is standing there waving at me. Is that the statue of Saddam? Wouldn't a bomb drop right now be great?

Same suprise here! I hope they keep this angle. I can't wait to see this statue pulled down (kinda like the improved ending to Return of the Jedi)!

Maybe on the day we liberate? You'll only get one chance though - - -

They are for anything but "peace" ....

That's for sure. Did you see yesterday that the parents of a soldier got a phone call telling them thier son was a POW and was killed and it turned out to be a prank? Gee...I wonder who did that??

Kofi, Kofi, Kofi...not even a thanks for what brave Americans, like Jessica Lynch, are doing to protect the free world from evildoers. Shame.

(^; Our inspectors are worrying Kofi, it seems.

There will be no 4000 today. We would be at about 1600 right now if we had a chance. No news is good news. As long as things are going well, we'll be in the 3000s.

Greg Lynch, Jr. is handling the press very well.

We should get a copy of the Jessica Lynch picture with her sitting beside the tree and put it next to Belly Girl.

They're lightly armored but they are an attack force. In GWI they were 13 miles into Iraq a couple of days before the ground war began. They were used to get on the ground, kill bad guys, secure locations and then get back out.

Where the 82nd and 173rd still use fixed wings for deployment(need verification) the 101st uses choppers to come in low and fast typically supported by Apache's, Blackhawks and Cobra's.

In GWI, the 101st had many Iraqi's surrender to their choppers...before troops arrived.

Efforts to gain a similar response from France have been less successful, with a French official in Paris saying they have no solid evidence of Iraqi missile attacks against Kuwait.

I have to give the French credit .. they are doing a REALLY good job pissing off the countries they need the most
