Operation Quagmire. Love it.

If the press wants to see a quagmire, they need to come down to the local exhibit hall the day before a major show opens...They'll learn all about quagmire.

I'll add a couple to yours.

There is no mention or questions about the long ago mentioned contacts with Iraqi command. Recently these contacts are described as ongoing military to military contact. Last night a general surrendered in Baghdad. There are several other ranking officers in custody.

Special forces got to these guys months ago and plied them with money and promises. They have been nervously and anxiously awaiting the chance to become part of the New Iraq.

Our most effective weapons system may be ordinary US$.

Oh you unmitigated, insufferable optimist! You're just like our President and his overly aggressive henchmen! You go on like America was something really so superior to every other country in every possible way, when in your more sober moments you know that's just drunken optimism.

Don't you understand that the rest of the world doesn't want to have to put up with this self-righteous certitude from this fundamentalist christian selected President and his amen cabinet?

Don't you understand that his Freudian slip early on, in calling this a crusade, wasn't missed by the Muslim world?

Haven't you noticed that even the Pope is having a hard time with this "Born Again" American "manifest destiny" attitude?

How long do you think this delusional and audatious administration can get away with this christian cowboy demeanor?

They have not only unleashed the dogs of war, but I'm certain there are people sitting around in their bathrobes this morning on a site called FreeRepublic.com, going...

"WHO, WHO, WHO LET THE DOGS OUT!!!

[MeekOneGOP]

So, what does the Butcher do these days to stay healthy and fit? According to Arab television -- CNN, for example -- he strolls along the streets of Baghdad, hobnobbing in broad daylight with folks in the city, in easy range of U.S. artillery and in full view of armed drones overhead. Not bloody likely.

The media hailed his public "appearance" as yet more 'proof' Rummy's no match for Saddam, except for one pesky detail: Saddam may be dead. No way to know when the film was filmed, unlike Live Rummy Pentagon briefings.

[Diddley]

It may have been Chesty.
But it sure fits the situation.

[MeekOneGOP]

Oops -- did I mention how tanks with the U.S. 3rd Division pushed through impregnable Iraqi lines this morning, ending up right in the center of Baghdad? ;) "Reconnaissance probes" is how the AP described it. Regime change is what I call it.

Reconnaissance probes took out thousands of the 'resistance' fighters, huh? Pretty impressive, eh? LOL!

Good job, JH2 ! Thanks !!!

[jgorris]

Word !

[VadeRetro]

Marines with bayonets were in the reeds, lunging at the fighters.

Are we really poking them with sharp sticks? Have to wonder at this.

[MeekOneGOP]

bumpity bumpity bumpity !!! . . .

I think it was Patton [or Chesty Puller] whose unit was surrounded by enemy troops.
He said, "The poor bastards."

It seems like that is what we have here.

Crass capitalists (them and us). (/sarc)

[SierraWasp]

Hay, "King of Ping!"

Yer evun bedder at epistle writen, than yew are at pingen!!!

Power to the perpetual pinger!!!

[Grampa Dave]

>b>Below is what really happened on Soddamned's latest walk around Baghdad!

[PA Engineer]

Priceless!

[Grampa Dave]

Johanna McGeary in male drag is Baghdad Bob!

This is just another prime example of Slime Magazine is totally worthless as a news magazine.

I cancelled my subcriptions to Slime and Newsweak when they attacked our great Presiden Ronald Reagan. Slime and Newsweak then used many of the same verbal hate attacks now used against President Bush.

[Grampa Dave]

Actually that was the commander of one of our airborne groups when they were surrounded during the Battle of Bulge. His group without tanks and heavy weapons slaughtered the Germans.

[Diddley]

Thanks.
Who ever said it, it's great.

Does any Freeper know of anyone or any web site that has a list of predictions (analysis, worries,etc.) made by politicians, celebrities, anti-war protestors, world leaders, news anchors, talk show hosts etc. and the actual outcome?

It would be of great value to be able to have such a list which details:

1. When and where the prediction was made.

2. Who made it.

3. What really happened.

For instance, all of those who predicted the massive upheaval in the Arab world if we attacked Iraq. All of those who predicted hundreds of terrorist attacks in the USA and around the world. The list could go back years to show a pattern of being wrong about most everything when it comes to certain people.

A detailed comprehensive list would come in very handy in the weeks and months ahead.

The list could also include predictions, analysis, etc. that came true.

Any Freeper willing to do this, or has it already been done?

[Grampa Dave]

When the Germans who were still alive and retreated, the damage done by this US Paratroop unit was incredible.

While outgunned and outmanned our troopers inflicted massive casualties on the Germans. They were trained to make every bullet count since most bullet were carried by them on their jumps or dropped by parachute.
