Is the quagmire anywhere near the red line?

FN - Simon Marks from Ammon: US coalition forces have done so much damage to the communications' infrastructure, that the only way Iraqis hear the "all clear" sign is from the roof of a Mosque. The Brit. guy sounds like we did something wrong, here, not that the bad guys are again placing legitimate targets around sacred sites.

If I had some swampland to sell to these socialist reporters...

Quagmire is from Basra to Karbala. No, scratch that. Quagmire is back in Afghanistan.

We all know better. Quagmire is the UN.

I am out west so am still scrambling to catch up. I have not been able to read the notes of Brooks' briefing this a.m. but Fox has shown clips. Am I right that Brooks said the hospital where Jessica was rescued had a cache of weapons and there were dead bodies?

I ask because within the last hour on FOX, they went to some reporter with an accent--I believe it was an Irish accent and I did not write down his name. I sat here thunderstruck as he stated he was at the hospital and he said all appeared normal to him and that he had learned Jessica had been well treated at this hospital. He also said there was no resistance to the forces when they arrived to take her out.

The tone was bizarre in light of other information I had heard and read about the situation so far. I have no idea where they came up this reporter and I felt he was sympathetic to the Iraqi propaganda.
