Charlie asks if with the degradation and destruction we are seeing surrender or retreat, or are they fighting to the death?
Some surrenders but not in great numbers.
Translation by Miss Marple: they are mostly dead.

Thank you, Ma'am, and for the Service your husband, and children are providing.
My wife and I met 3 families 2 weeks ago who had sons and daughters serving in the Mideast. We were honored to speak with them, and saw the fabric of our society right before our eyes.
I think we are at a crossroads in our Country. If we don't prevail, which I know we will, our freedoms, and liberties will be in jepordy. That's why I believe those that oppose this war don't understand what the implications that they are advocating will be if they're successful in having the United States capitulate. This will solve nothing, and create more problems than we will ever imagine. Don't think North Korea isn't watching this with great interest. If they see us win this war, which I know we will, this will increase our leverage to continue to negotiate to get them to disarm. Reagan was only successful because they knew he mean't business, and would not back down.
If we pull out, not only will the rest of the Arab Nations see us as paper tigers, but North Korea will continue to act with impunity.
We have a tremendous President, and I thank God everyday that he is calling the shots, and has shown tremendous resolve to win this war.
I always remember a picture of Gen. MacArthur I saw at the American Legion post down in Milwaukee, when I was a boy.
It had him in full uniform, saluting, with a quote underneath that said, "We shall fight, or we shall die."
It has always stuck with me.
God Bless.

Press gets to ask questions now.
Fox has split screen with shots being fired.
AMAZING.

Marking your description to review after briefing.
Thank you for your post. It was very strange, indeed.

Tori emphasizes again that the toughest fighting lies ahead.

Tori Clarke making sure to keep expectation in check -- expect there may be tougher fighting ahead, even though we know we will prevail, and even though Baghdad and Medina RG Divisions are "no longer credible."
To: TonyInOhio
And is it me, or did Jim Mik sound really disappointed at the strategy "chosen" by the RG.

They are ex-divisions.

I hope they didn't leave Hackworth out of the mix. Hey's been a naysayer since day 1.
Hack is just worried he'll show up on Blackwell's worst-dresssssed lisssssst.

There have been additional "I was a stupid human shield" articles since the one she read. Tori is just great. She realized that a whole lot of people are watching these press conferences and she's getting the word out about what Iraq under SH is really like.
