Cool animation on Sky of our progress.

Here's the photo that should be at the top of the thread.


Sorry to the technology challenged. I couldn't help myself.

Every network should interview this woman on Fox, an Iraqi exile describing Saddam's chemical attack on her village in 1997...Do you think the anit-war people would pay attention? Probably not

[r9etb]

That is the normal definition of destroyed. Some Jerk at the CENTCOM briefing had to ask what destroyed meant - idiot.

Then I'm an idiot, too -- I'm glad the question was asked and answered.

I agree. This will be placed prominently on tomorrow's thread.

Belly Girl, will of course retain her place of honour as well.

[Sacajaweau]

Bump for later

Are we back up? ..

yes.

CNN's Karl Penhaul: Commanders optimistic, saying progressing a little quicker than expected ^ WE'RE MOVING TOO FAST ALERT!!!

That didn't take long ...

I assume all the Iraqis holding her are dead right now.

Or wishing they were...

[melodie]

they probably switched the channel to game show network or something when they heard the lady was going to be on

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

It's so cool that Iraqi victims are feeling safe enough now to come forward with their stories...and we have FoxNews and FR to hear them.

Hamburger for Coors, which, sadly DOES taste the same can after can after can.... .

[Trust but Verify]

Arne,

I was with you all the way to those last two words!

[Carolina]

WE'RE MOVING TOO FAST ALERT!!! That didn't take long ...

Well, we rushed to war. Then we were in a quagmire. Now we're moving too fast again.

[null and void]

I suggest next thread we post PFC Jessica Lynch instead of belly girl, she has earned it..

Instead of? No. In addition to? CERTAINLY!

French Aid Leaves Eiffel Tower for Iraq ^

French Symbolism!!

"The caravan of three trucks headed east out of Paris toward Germany on a drive expected to take 10 days and cross seven countries before reaching the Iran-Iraq border.

From there, a team of aid workers already on the ground would help the convoy reach Irbil in Kurdish-controlled northern Iraq and seek means of funneling the desperately needed aid deeper into the country, said Alain Boinet, director of Solidarite.

Hello Mssr. Chiraq? Every heard of Airlifts?

[Trust but Verify]

Arne,

I was with you all the way to those last two words!

[An.American.Expatriate]

LOL

[retrokitten]

They would probably say she was lying and a shill for "the administration".

Maybe I am a dork (probably the case) but I really wish my cable system offered the game show network. I love those 70's game shows with Charles Nelson Riley and Paul Lynd. They are hysterical!

The person who received the note from the Iraqi civilian was MSNBC's Kerry Sanders (which is why Fox won't name him). He passed it along to our military.

I heard another story about that. What makes you so sure that Fox is not reporting it just because it is from an MSNBC source?
