No sound here either. This is for the gusto tonight btw. Ya don't just move your tanks into the burbs and sit around. Our troops are going to be shooting, moving, communicating all night long in Bagdad. Would be very surprised if major engagements aren't going to be taking place in the next few minutes and hours.

An interesting report from the Baltimore Sun - extreme left-wing associate of the LA Times
I post the first few paragraphs, because it seems to infer that even the far lefties have finally been forced to admit that our President is communicating to Americans, after two years of holding their ears and eyes and reporting that he does not communicate.
http://www.sunspot.net/news/nationworld/iraq/bal-te.message03apr03,0,3868031.story?coll=bal%2Diraq%2Dheadlines President relies on repetition
Message: It suits Bush's style to pound hard on what he wants Americans to hear, and to make sure his staffers show the same discipline.
By David L. Greene
Sun National Staff
April 3, 2003
WASHINGTON - At Camp David last week, reporters asked President Bush whether the war in Iraq could last months.
His reply: "However long it takes to win."
"However long it takes to achieve our objective," he then said by way of elaboration.
Then he stressed that the conflict would last "however long it takes."
He finished by saying that, "Saddam Hussein will be removed, no matter how long it takes."
As a wartime leader, Bush has remained true to his style, sticking relentlessly to the same messages, determined to choose the few sound bites that Americans will hear from him on a given day.
Despite swirling questions about whether the Pentagon had adequately prepared for the war, Bush has avoided the criticism, and his message each day has changed little.
In Philadelphia on Monday, brimming with confidence, he said, "When victory comes, it will be shared by the long-suffering people of Iraq, who deserve freedom and dignity."
The president, sticking to his theme, will deliver almost the same remarks when he visits a military base in North Carolina today, aides say.
Analysts say Bush is relying on a time-honored strategy favored by all presidents. It's the same thinking that explains why the same TV commercial is shown over and over: To make sure you reach your audience, constantly repeat your message.

President Bush: "No finer sight than seeing 12,000 Marines (huge cheer).....unless you're in the Republican Guard. (cheers and laughter)" The exact quote..."No finer sight than seeing 12000 marines and corspmen...unless you are in the Republican guard".
Can't leave out the Navy Corpsmen...Marines in bell bottoms (when they still had the bb's). There are certain Corpsmen who are FMF (Fleet Marine Force), meaning they train with and deploy with the Marines (my husband (now retired) being one of them during GWI.

We, the coalition, are bringing food, water and medicine to help the Iraqi people.
We're bringing aid, but we're bringing something more...
We're bringing hope.
A man in one village said "I want my freedom. I don't want food or water. I just want my freedom".
America hears that man.
We will be there until your entire country is free.

You are right,,they got the message. Your post reminded me of the scene in To KIll a Mockingbird when Atticus walks by and the woman tells the daughter to "stand up, your father is passin",,,GWB will be regarded in that way for years to come.
