Good morning, all! Someone please tell the FoxNews weekend crew to stop talking long enough to listen to the experts. First, Gen. Renuart explained in detail how the Iraqi Info Min. was still able to broadcast and what does Julia H. ask following the briefing, "Why are they still on TV?" - loosely paraphrased...

 
FN:  Col. David Perkins, ran operations going into Baghdad, re. what our guys encountered along the way: "this is the SRG (Spec. Rep. Guard)..what they did really all the way into the city...RPGs, anti-tank missiles, suicide death squads, (we faced) thousands of dug in infantry and on the rooftops...shows the courage and the tenacity of the American soldier...this is a war that is being fought at 5 and 10 feet and (we are) coming out on top every time."
 
"The soldiers are reacting magnifenctly...doing it with split-second timing and unbelievable accuracy and at the same time deal w/ innocent civilians...they are performing wildly beyond expectations..."
 
"This is NOT one-sided. They greatly outnumber us. They have a huge amount of munitions. (At the) outset it's one-sided in their favor...(End one-sided in our favor) "strictly because of the training, courage and tenacity of the American soldier."
 
"This brigade has been fighting for the last 3 days straight...they are in a fight every single day, they know what's to come...
 
(cut back to FoxNews crew) "Are you surprised at the lack of resistance?" Argh!

God bless FoxNews, but Major Bob knows, you don't cut away from Greg Kelly live on the frontlines - even for Major Bob.
