[AppyPappy]

They are yelling for Saddam.

[Nam Vet]

"It must really suck being a liberal leftist this morning. "

That bears repeating!

They were honking, and about three pickup loads of suicide pedestrians all chanting....sounded like

SADDAM,
YO' MOM,
IS GONNA GET A BOMB!

[LiveFreeOrDie2001]

I was at the Twins game last night when they had Soldiers in Kuwait throw out the 1st pitch via video feed.

You all should've heard the roar of 48,000 fans cheering !!!

It was so touching, Their Family members were on the field waving and crying.

And then, between each Half-Inning, the Twins showed Soldiers saying hello to us and shouting "Go Twins" !!

I was in tears several times...

Peter Arnett, fired by NBC earlier this week for giving an interview to state-run Iraqi television, is reporting for pan-Arab satellite channel Al-Arabiya, the station said Saturday

I thought dear Peter had gotten a job with the Mirrorm(or whatever the name of that UK outfit is)

Our tanks will be rolling by soon.

Timeout, I don't know who shot the footage of the American uniform. Checking the name against the official POW/MIA list.

[cajungirl]

Oh no,,acmed is one of them. Is this on the msnbc cam? I can never get it,,I think Media Player screws my computer or something. I feel so sad,,had grown fond of him.

[Timeout]

I think Ahmed was shooting at the Poleeeeez Parade!

Ahllo. Ahllo. Ahllo? New York? Ahllo?

[Petronski]

Baghdad Bob is on CNN via Al Jizeera.

[SoldiersGirl]

He did, he's also working for a few others.

[TigersEye]

That was a mighty short parade. I couldn't see anything on CBS Bag-cam. Too small a screen, to jerky of a video. I wasn't getting sound on MSNBC cam.

[Poser]

Good morning campers! /uncleernie

I would have been here earlier but I was snow blowing my driveway... again. We had over a foot of snow yesterday and today.

Coffee is on!

I assume that lots of stuff happened last night (2500 posts). I hope it was good. Fox news is not helpful right now. I like Wayne. I wonder if he might beat up the other guy who played the same role?

[Timeout]

Ahmed is on CBS BagCam....go to CBSnews.com...good picture, great sound, funny dialogue.

[POGIFFMOO]

Loved his sound bomb comment. What is it? From Acme bomb supply? Lands on ground and a flag comes out that says "BOOM!"

[AppyPappy]

The Bobster has been trying to recruit people to storm the airport. I don't think he gats many takers.

[AppyPappy]

You can still hear horns. The bombs will start soon.

[Carolina]

Name shown didn't match the official list of POW/MIAs.

Was this uniform part of the procured uniforms pre-war?

[MeekOneGOP]

Morning, Meekie! Please check out #2362 and #2394, the commander leading the "charge" into Baghdad disagrees about that "no resistance." (^;

Thanks for filling in the gaps. Like I said in my post to Amelia, I was diverted this morning from my attention to the war again because my Dad stayed overnight. I missed the action earlier this morning, so my impression was what I saw apparently after the MAJOR war action.

I appreciate ya'll getting me up to speed ! Our guys ARE dominating and are winning big time it appears ! Thanks ! . . .
