You should have heard him earlier, he was positively excited about the whole thing. I do wish one of the officers would tell him, "Not now, Bob!"

Earlier he said that the Captain said, and I quote Arnott"we(Marines) took Iwa Jima, so Baghada ain't gonna be shit". Arnott was just cussing over the air. It was awsome.

Why MSNBC will NEVER catch up with CNN or FNC, or even come close:

This is the best reporting of the entire war, and what's on NBC? Carson f'in Daly. What's on CNBC? A simulcast of CNBC Europe. There's probably more people watching MSNBC in this thread than the rest of America combined.

Reminds me of how football color commentators love to babble on about some trivial stats while some really exciting plays are unfolding on the field...

Well, he should really pace himself. ;-)

temporary phone break up---dead air, then he came back.

listening to translator on a PA mike saying "give up or lose your life". Sounds like bad guys are now coming out to surrender. A women appears. Arnott yells over here----get in this foxhole---bring your baby, get in---you'll be safe. The woman is terrified.

This is gripping stuff.
