Well, that's how I understood it....he was saying that we hadn't taken over the airport, that they've killed us...that they've pushed us up (north?) away from the airport....and that what they're seeing on t.v. isn't real, it's Hollywood propaganda.....and that on Saturday, after they have cleaned up the mess from the fighting, they would bring people over to see for themselves how the Iraqis control the airport.....

MSNBC reporting that the Republican Guard in the Baghdad area is virtually defeated.

The fight will mostly be against those marytrdom idiots in the pickemup trucks(my words).

When we lived in Panama many of the Panamanians would crowd into a truck and drive around Panama. Thankfully, they were just riding.

I am so proud of our military that I am about to pop,,someone, somewhere is raising good kids. For a while I felt despair but this group of kids is great.

[melodie]

the bag screen sure does look surreal tonight

Was there evidence that they are Kuwaitis? Certainly there are plenty of Kuwaiti corpses somewhere in Iraq, but as maniacal as Saddam's regime is, he could have been quelling internal dissent.

I am so mad at ABC. I was just channel surfing between the Longhorns game and Fox and landed on ABC's news break (I know, I shouldn't have stopped).....but they were showing the embed with some troops taking fire in a town outside Baghdad and a soldier was hit in the stomach. They laid him down and opened up his vest. He was in alot of pain and clearly showed his face. What if his wife was watching? Or his parents? Reminded me of Vietnam when the news showed that kinda stuff constantly.

lol
shamefully, I was watching the last episode of Are you hot.

I know y'all love me, and will forgive me my mindless entertainment on occasion, without making too much fun of me. :-)

When was the last time Bag Bob spoke?

I believe around noon, Baghdad time.

The commercial this morning had Bernie Mac hosting but someone was with him dressed as Jerry Rivers. Should be fun.
