do these soldiers take showers while fighting this war,,I mean have our marines not changed clothes for the past two weeks, do they bring fresh unders with them?

They use a LOT of baby wipes

[MEG33]

Whine about POWs Geneva convention..Isn't nice to tie hands behind back!!

[bornintexas]

That's it! That's all the Palestine Hotel questions I can handle....stupid idiot pressers...it's all about them...BG Brooks should just say...."yeah, were gonna kill all of ya whenever we get the opportunity".....gonna take a break...bbl

[Kip Lange]

So, Howlin, um, do the FEMALE troops get to shower? :-)

[Howlin]

Did anybody keep count of how many "real" questions there are as opposed to how many "hotel" questions there are?

[InShanghai]

British troops from 2 Platoon 1 Parachute Regiment, part of 16 Air Assault Brigade, take a break from patrolling the front line near Basra to cool down and freshen up by means of an improvised shower unit in Iraq April 7, 2003. British troops guarded by tanks and helicopter gunships walked unopposed into the centre of the city Basra on Monday, meeting a warm reception in the narrow streets of the old quarter.

I just heard this and I can't believe the stupidity of these people. They still can't seem to grasp the idea that we are at war!

"My God! How could you people fire on a place you said you would fire on and told us to evacuate!!" (ROFL)

What would they say if the Iraqis really used the reporters as shields, or started executing them. Would they want coalition foreces to use force in the direction of the hotel, or not?

What a bunch of freakin' ungrateful jerks.

[Howlin]

Notice they don't ask if the Red Cross has seen OUR POWs.

[cajungirl]

Does this pic violate the Geneva convention??? Channeling a reporter here.

[Kip Lange]

Another good one: "Do you investigate every civilian death?"

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuh, uhhhhhhh, duuuuuuuuh.

[AFPhys]

I want that statue GONE, GONE, GONE.

I want to see a mob of people take that statue down with many ropes.

[Howlin]

Yep, when they can.

[cajungirl]

I want to see a looter take that statue home for his garden.

[mystery-ak]

Note to self....take a nap Sat. so I can stay up to watch SNL...should be rich!

[E Rocc]

You just made this thread really popular with the DU-types (at least the "male" ones). >:)

[Cboldt]

Why weren't they wearing flak jackets and helmets?

Those are stage props. Literally. The reporters practice their lines in regular clothes, and put on the stage props for the mass audience, to give a certain appearance.

[fellowpatriot]

They are going to try their damndest to make President Bush out to be worse that saddam.

[Howlin]

OMG.....the thoughts that those creeps are lurking on this thread just about ruined my day!

[luv2ndamend]

Do you know how long ago that NTV taped this action?
