Did you hear David Asman commenting to Bridget Quinn awhile ago (Fox News)? He was breaking up while explaining that his son is a Marine over in Iraq right now... he had received either a phone call or e-mail from his son recently... his son said to him: "Dad, can you believe this? I'm going to be making the news, and you're going to be covering it!"

I loved hearing David Asman saying that.. what a great moment for him! (them)

So, this was the "Tipping Point"

Oh yes, I most certainly heard and saw the pride in David Asman's face talking about his son. I can only imagine the tension he's been under these past three weeks reporting the horrors knowing his son was in harms way.

What exactly happened between the time the US flag was replaced by the Iraqi one? Don't believe our flag was there longer than 5 minutes. During that time the soldiers attempted to secure the rope to the tank and I suspect word from their commander told them to remove our flag immediately. When our flag was draped over SH's face, Britt Hume said "no no" but he didn't go further, as he too realized the marine was caught up in the moment. The military has been told that Old Glory should not be prominent lest the Iraqis believe we were there to conquer not to liberate.
