good evening folks. Just checking in and now to play catch up.

I had a thought earlier today. What if the journaists were put up in the palace? They'd be more out of the line of fire and I don't think they'd do too much complaining...and it's sure a secured area. Less likely a sniper would be shooting at OUR troops from that location.

True enough, but they are currently the honored guests of Baghdad Bob.

Now that's a scary thought - capturing the Palestine Hotel and shipping them off somewhere. Think of the increase in Global Whining.

But, if America offered them the hospitality and protection rather than Saddam, they would say that they would lose any claim to objectivity.

Yeah, no need for the long-range stuff -- they could just roll hand grenades at our troops, the way their comrade-in-arms did in Kuwait!
