lol sorry for that type. I was trying my best to remember exactly how he said it.

I've got an important question - someone just posted the polling was sort of close on UN vs US resconstruction of Irag and it was from CNN. On TV or their web site?

Because on their web site it's been 65/35 for the last 2-3 hours... so where are they (CNN) getting the other figures!!??

I just skipped a few hundred posts to get within 100 or so. Be up front in a few. Wiping up the rear, as usual.

I earned that handle when I took back a car that was stolen from my son.

I followed a bunch of guys to a Mc Donalds, met them face to face with the title and said give me the keys.

He handed me the keys and said lets go outside and talk. I said; "No! I will just stay here and drink my coffee.

Needles to say I was shaking like a leaf all the way home.

Just efore the commercial he read part of the email....the person wrote that they didn't feel sorry for the journalists who got killed or their families....only feels sorry for the troops and their families.

Baghdad does look prettier this morning...

[golas1964]

Yeah, but how many people watch CNN now? Let's see a vote.com poll on the same question!

[crobnson]

I hope they make a video of today, I want to be able to see it again.

[DocRock]

Who did they poll?

Leventhal's up. "got more sleep last night than I've gotten in 8 weeks."

Fox - Bret Beir reports a few bombs being dropped still on Baghdad, but quite a few on Tikrit. Being pounded from the air. Operations in Mosul and Kirkuk. Some oil wells still in enemy hands. Next goal in the northern front. 1st Infantry flying into the north. Mop up ops going on in the South. Brit and U.S. Marines clearing out cities we passed on the way to Baghdad. AP reports that the 1st Battalion of the Royal Irish Regiment went into the city that is believed to be the location of the Garden of Eden and were welcomed.

Rick Levanthal's on live. Got more sleep last night than he has in 8 weeks.

That's the conventional definition. My pop called me "Spunky" too. I have fond memories of it.

You ought to be proud of your stand -- good job.

he made a good point last night (think it was last night) when he said those journalists were over there for US so that we could see what went on and get all these great webcams and photos they've been getting over there.. we shouldn't be so callous towards them just because they are media...(those weren't his words, they are what I understood him to mean) plus, Shep said it and his word is as good as law as far as I'm concerned :-p of course, i'm a sucker for a pretty face.. he's even cute when he's angry.
