Fox News

Just broke on Fox

[Diddle E. Squat]

CNN is an abbreviation...

...of DNCNN.

C-130 Gunships. Bad*ss weapons that mean business.

[Mac94]

Yup, I think this will be reported as their "Tet." Luckly, these guys ain't the fighters the VC were.

Anyway, anyone heard naything on a chopper going down in Falluja (sp?)?

Ha'aretz news ticker had this little blurb:

"18:15 Unconfirmed report American military helicopter goes down in Falluja, Iraq, during operation"

Can't find anything else on this so most likely it's a false rumor (here's hoping).

I think I will write Fox and CNN and offer myself as a military strategist. If they are going to use ignorant people like Ann Lewis and Eleanor Clift, my opinion is just as good as theirs and I am more attractive (which isn't syaing much, but there you have it).

[mewzilla]

They can't understand plain English either apparently. Senour made the point about the Iraqi judge issuing the warrant quite clear yesterday. Repeatedly.

[oceanview]

its the AC-130 gunships. they are very good for something like this, alot of concentrated firepower.

[Solson]

Yes...still heavy fighting. It won't matter to these punks. They've been brainwashed and considering their hopelessness, they really have little choice but to fight and die. Once capitalism really starts to entrench itself in Iraq will real change start to happen.

[AmericanInTokyo]

A gift certificate for a couple of cold beers to the first Freeper who can confirm that there is a total of THREE or more idiots--our fellow Americans no less--over on DU who are either rousing in their support of American/Allied troops in Iraq at this hour, or otherwise praying openly for their safety, as is common on this FR patriot website .

UH.... try reading this:

Operation Valiant Resolve

THANK GOD we don't have a HISTORIAN and a POLITICAL COMMENTATOR running this WAR!!!!!!!

[stuck_in_new_orleans]

I could give a rip what you or anybody posts. Just quit whining like a sissy when someone calls you on your comments and posts their thoughts.

Thanks for proving my point

[RobRoy]

Our reports are that choppers have been hit but none have been shot down.

[RightWingMama]

Shep and Bret are in full HYPE mode..... They always seem to get the commercial breaks in though don't they!!!! LOL! I'm cubicle bound and I can just picture it....

Me too! Thanks everyone for the great posting.

[Conservative4Ever]

Thanks for your clear insight to this serious situation. I was happy to read of some good news with regards to this.

Fighting is so bad that our guys had to call for the administrative individuals for assistance.

The REMFs deserve a chance to have at muhammed, too - God bless 'em all.

[rrrod]

"Yup, I think this will be reported as their "Tet." Luckly, these guys ain't the fighters the VC were" exactly!!! God Bless our troops

[swarthyguy]

It'll happen but be delayed.

How can they hand even Baghdad over without the US having control of Badr City or Ramdi or other burbs.

Our troops are not leaving Irak in this century, but I don't think the Iraki council can control their country under wartime conditions.

Right now, Badr city is a nogo zone for Americans. We have to wrest it back first.

[mewzilla]

Thanks. They asked for it.

">>Word out of Washington, SPECTRES have been scrambled<<

I'm sorry to be stupid, could you explain what this means?"

It means that a certain PA Senator will be heading to Iraq to swiftly impose Scottish law....

(Seriously though, the AC-130 is a gunship version of the C-130 cargo aircraft. It's kind of like whipping out a shotgun in the middle of a knife fight....)
