I can't stand that pinch-faced beeeeottch!! Looks like she's vying with Judy Woodruff for the lemon-sucking contest winner.

That's money stolen from the cupboards and medicine cabinets of the Iraqi people, and that's coming back if I'm in charge. Money is needed to fund irrigation projects, medical equipment and to rebuild the Baghdad and Basrah airport and rail infrastructures Saddam destroyed pre-liberation - to start. I cannot wait until we rip open that rat's nest of Oil For Food, and gaze upon the absoute corruption and criminality of the U.N. and the usual soapless and soulless suspects.

By the way, I'm not a "Kumbaya" kinda guy, but a stable and closely supervised Islamic state in that part of the world, in this time, is an absolute national security priority for America. We can't go through all this and let Iraq degenerate into the Balkans or Central Africa after the snooty white guys took all they could carry and split. The stupid Palestinians and the great unwashed of the Arab "Street" are going to hate us forever, but Iraq gives us the springboard to make sure that hatred doesn't slime its way to our back yard.

Something just blew up in BAG!!!!!!!!

[PrivateIdaho]

Big Boom in BAG!!!!!

Which CAM? I can't get sound out of msnbc2 and can't get connected to CBS.

It's key that the City of MOSUL, KIRKUK, AND TIKRIT be taken
by Allied Forces,first before we move in on Baghdad. Cut Suppy lines and support from Syria. I say arm the Kurds to the max !!!

[mhking]

Those SOB's at CNN are smiling at the thought of a post-war recession...Feh...why do I even bother?

[mhking]

Which CAM?

CBS

What was the question Campbell Brown asked at one of the press conference that was so stupid?

[Consort]

From: A freeper (I forget who) LOL:

The CIA Director is in stealth mode in this rendering.

[Cboldt]

3 ID has 18,000 (I picked up an "Order of Battle" at the Agonist site, but can't find a link to it)

Wait a minute what the hell is Jesse doing meeting with the ambassador of a country we are at war with..

Trying to look important

[Krodg]

Belly girl comes in first.....Jessica Lynch comes in second. So much for the maturity of FR. :(

[Howlin]

Can you be an ambassador to a country that, in fact, no longer exist?

[Inspectorette]

Ha! Probably every one she's ever asked. Unfortunately, I am afflicted with terminal Cubicle-itis, so I don't get to see the pressers.

[ken5050]

Another point.....we should sign a military treaty with the new Iraq asap...giving us a few airbases....we already have 'em..then we don't need Incilrik or the base in Saudi Arabia...

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

getting close to six hours ...

Boom. Just thinking about the press last week, questioning Gen. Franks, worried that the RG were "dug in" around Baghdad. Gen. Franks gives the reporter a Rummy-look, says something like "they're not 'dug in'." Heh.

[Dog]

I have CBS....go here CBS

Upper Right hand side......Live Now....Baghdad cam.

[Aaron0617]

What is FNC doing? Once again this Fox reporter said the bodies of 11 members of the 507th also found. Anyone catch this?

Wouldn't this mean all 5 POWs are dead.

[cyncooper]

I still really like seeing your tagline.

Thank you.

I was pleased that today Torie read the comments of another former "human shield" at the briefing.
