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

[hmmmmm]

I do *l* but anger/ire at the press may take 1 of them.

[Tree of Liberty]

LOL. G'nite, fledermaus

[hmmmmm]

:) It was quite satisfying when Rummy and Gen. Franks took them to school at the last presser. They all kept their eyes focused down. Now the Marines without the niceties is a presser I'd pay to watch!

It can't be anything but horrifying. I was so happy when I heard that she was able to talk about her ordeal. To me that sounded like proof that she's strong-willed, stubborn and a big time fighter. All good things.

The washington press will report that THEY are the reason for this new push on Baghdad. You watch. They'll attribute it to the heat they were putting on Rummy.

Me, me, me.....waaahhh, waaahhhh, waaahhhh,....that's why they loved the sinkmaster so much.

Gen. Meyers was truly pissed

Turkey is one of the most important "strategic" countries in the world. Personally, I would love to make a move to locate major US forces there rather than other Western Europe countries, since the demise of the Soviet Union. I was really hoping there would be a strong alliance with them for the WASH, but that didn't work out, largely due to the timing of their internal politics.

[EternalVigilance]

Yeah, I vented some serious ire myself tonight at MSNBC.

The stupid jerks. Their reporting on the 11 bodies found in that hospital was outrageous! They said they were all Americans, when that is NOT what Centcom was saying. It may turn out to be true anyhow, but their egregious mistake very well could have caused a number of families serious unnecessary grief tonight.

Can you tell they pissed me off? ;-)

I told David Shuster in an email that he better be glad he doesn't work for me, because by morning, he would be looking for a job...

[Tree of Liberty]

Yes he was. I've never seen him talk contemporaneously for such a long period of time.

[hmmmmm]

So you owe me a hunky batman pic in the future? *L* I was lucky that the map link I posted worked. I wouldn't know where to begin with anything else.

I like Neil Cavuto too, but he's on here in the midwest around 3pm & doesn't get a lot of viewers either! Only the housewives who are home all day!

[hmmmmm]

I've no doubt you're right on that!

[Ophiucus]

Agreed. An essentially new government got hit with a crisis decision and they screwed the pooch. Now we'll have to see what can be salvaged.

[hmmmmm]

And it was a beautiful site!

[The Wizard]

that's right, I remember hearing that too....if she can talk about it, that really helps

[Tree of Liberty]

Hey! SoldiersGirl's building is back in the picture on Fox

[hmmmmm]

The scary part is that many people will take what they report as gospel.

Several weeks back, there was talk of a Nafta-type alliance with Turkey and "New Europe"...the former soviet states...and one could probably now add Iraq to the equation.

Screw France & the E.U. They've done nothing but put our troops in more danger than was necessary. Once the truth comes out about the arms flowing into Iraq, France will be "pate"---stuffed goose.
