***Operation Iraqi Freedom - Situation Room - Day 14 - LIVE THREAD***

[sheikdetailfeather]

MSNBC reporter by the name of Kelly (first or last name?) something reported tonight that the civilians came to him and said "There is an American POW held in the hospital and she is being tortured."

lol..Laurie tripping over her lips.

Shhhhh! The official Fox FR snoop might think we don't like her.

n.b. to Fox snoop: it doesn't bother me at all!

I like the way she and Brian work together. They have a line they use often (but I didn't hear it the last two nights): "Over twelve feet of anchor" (she's over 6' and he's much taller).

San Miguel: No two bottles taste the same.

And not a good beer to drink more than two bottles of during 24-hour war coverage and Freeping. Unless, that is, you have a TV and a laptop in your bathroom...

It hit me tonight that as much as these middle Eastern men like to think they are so superior to women, they might get tired of being publically beaten by an Army with a high percentage of women. Maybe they should just give into the US each time and go back home and tell each other they would have won but they can not fight women?

[Mo1]

LOL .. did you just hear the email FNC just read about Laurie Dhue?

[Fledermaus]

Admitting to not being able to fight a woman is like asking for death in the Arabic world.

Their faux male superiority is disgusting.

[Consort]

I just finished a bottle of Grolsch.

[spectr17]

Gonna be hard to splain to little Abtar you lost the country in under 2 weeks to an army with women.

CNN, Diana Muriel, U.K. Army Desert Rats. Water shortage for civilians, having trouble keeping medicine cold in heat.

[Fledermaus]

The "mainstream" press will be all over Fox News after this saying they were biased, etc.

Too bad it will all fall on deaf ears. Being Pro-American and supportive of the troops (one idiot critic said they used the term "our troops" too much and now O'Reilly is mocking that view) doesn't mean you can't report fact.

As opposed to other outlets (CNN) that report their version of the facts as it fits their preconceptions.

Like reporting this morning that "Saddam was very forceful in his language today" when everyone else was reporting "Where was Saddam? Thought he was coming on LIVE!"

[sonofatpatcher2]

To the men and women who have given their last, full measure of devotion in this war:

In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me:
As He died to make men holy,
let us die to make men free,
While God is marching on.

This part of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" has alway brought tears to my eyes and I have them now as I post this.

As has this from "13 Days of Glory":
"Now the bugles are silent
And there's rust on each sword
And the small band of soldiers...
Lie asleep in the arms of the Lord...

Bless them, Bless them All.

Capt. Al Lockwood. British ,ilitary spokesman. Basra civilians now coming out to Brit aid stations. More trusting. Natives shwoing up in Umm Qasr port to report back to work.

[JLS]

As I like to tell classes, CNN claims to be the International network of record and that it has international correspondends not foreign correspondents, thus they can never again legitly broadcast a story going woe is me woe is me US dollar falls or US balance of trade deficit is terrible. Such stories do not fit with being a avowed non-American network.

[Henchster]

It's Amstel on tap here at the Henchster's home pub.

And they're flowing freely tonight with the GREAT news about Pvt Lynch, and that we're busting down the gates to Gagbad.
