and why didn't the predator fire at the fleeing vehicles with a hellfire? these types of inconsistencies are why I am skeptical about these "saddam is here" reports.

what will the dems do? Seriously?! 70% of Americans back the war...the dems are split 50-50
No matter who they pick, half of their party will be p!$$ed off. IF they pick a candidate that voted for the resolution, the appeaseniks will probably vote for the green party...And if they pick an anti war candidate, they will keep 50% of their base, but lose the other half as well as a huge chunk of the swing vote who is supporting our actions now...

gotta love it!;)

If I had Buckner panties, I wouldn't be able to wear them out of the house. People would be wondering why I was always looking behind me, with my head through my knees.

" More idiocy from the so-called educated Left....pesticides ARE chemical weapons. Morons.

But then again, it's Paula Zahn. "

I think the closest Paula gets to toxic chemicals,is in her hairdresser's chair. Remember,this is the gal who was being sued by her landscaper for 100,000 in unpaid gardening bills, so I doubt she is at the lawn and garden center on the week ends. A warhead filled with malathion is a chemical weapon.

He got the reply he deserved.

I don't take kindly to being "told what to do" by someone who has a peeve.

My replies involved no name calling, just my opinion on what this thread is. Just because I disagree doesn't mean I'm wrong.

I know exactly what he was trying to say. And personally I find it ridiculous. After 22 days, anyone knows this is a LIVE thread. There are hundreds of others to get breaking news. We break it here also, but then we chat because this is how we are watching the war.

I'm glad you found Breaking News also...I wish more people would bother to read everything Free Republic has to offer.

I bet rintense gets all kind of "hate" posts when she posts her daily pictures...(can't these be smaller? I have dial up) etc.

Can't please everyone in ONE thread.

I wonder where those vehicles went, and if the Predator followed them.

I rather like the idea of Hussein on the lam, chased from pillar to post by gunfire and bombs, living in constant fear.

It's a good thing.

[strela]

I also have red sox panties...

Are you quite sure that hundreds of thousands of anonymous web surfers really needed to know this? ;)

[Fledermaus]

I'll try again -

LIVE THREAD!

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Ollie needs a hug.

Ollie North w/ 1st Mar. Exp. Force: "Yesterday was a really tough day for the Marines...the toughest day..the man who was killed was a man I came to know and admire...we are seeing an increase in Fedayeen...bomb belt warn by one last night...from Salmon Pak training center...walked up to check point, detonated himself seriously wounding 4 Marines...the word is widespread here in the 1st Exp. Force that Saddam Hussein is alive and well in Tikrit...no one wants the Kurds to get there first...will be a bloodbath...roving bands...attack Americans wherever they can find them...yesterday when medivac. casualty from Palace....guys on a roof that had been shooting at the Palace turned their weapons on us..."

[Jackie-O]

If news wasn't slow right now we wouldn't bother arguing the point now would we?
I was kidding...I'm STAYING!!

[Miss Marple]

I guess the Pentagon is confirming the Al Takriti hit. (Cousing of Saddam and Secret Police guy).

[knak]

geez that's still going on? Thought I read this arguement three days ago? Can't please everybody huh?

[oceanview]

say again, why don't we want the kurds to get there first?

[Fledermaus]

I guess their computers are stuck on this webpage and thread!

[SoldiersGirl]

the purpose, that you keep missing, is a LIVE report of the days events.
Those events are not always breaking news, the iraqi Sign with the word WANKER on it, was an event..we discussed it..
the liberation of Iraq, yup, we covered that, the first day of bombing, we handled it, pretty chickens newest goof, covered in real time.
If you insist on discussing only the wars battles, deaths and plans, then please, please, feel free to take the doom and gloom elsewhere. I would like to celebrate all of the aspects of this war, be it achmed, or Tori's tacky jacket, be it the saddam statue, or WMD, I will gather here ever day, side by side with these freepers, and vigilantly watch and report on this war, I will cry , I will laugh, I will applaud, and I will yell. I will do it with the piece of mind that I am a human, having human reactions to human drama...with fellow humans.

FreeRepublic has people here who are from very many backgrounds and levels of education. The insight offered when news comes in is outstanding and readily available. The humor is top notch. I was a lurker during the great recount. (Otherwise, I would have lost my mind) Now I am a Freeper.

Evening folks.

Anyone catch that we had another target of opportunity? Saddam's half brother. Evidently the building is no more. This from FoxNews.

Anyone have a url to a working cam?

[SamAdams76]

Heads up, Greta is set to interview the ambassador from Syria. Get ready for some fireworks.

[SoldiersGirl]

after admitting that I think Rummy is dashing, GWB is hot, and that I have freeper induced anxiety disorder..oh yeah, and that I didn't know why the j and f keys had little bumps on them...my lil red sox drawers can't embarrass me.
