Hang in there, folks! The last thing our boys need right now is for us to freak out over every morsel of info that comes down the line.

They're out there for every one of us. We've got to be strong too.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Thank you,,, I was trying!

This thread doesn't need any more hype!

[ScaniaBoy]

Not true - lose that story.

So you're saying Bush is fighting a political war and not fighting to win?

Ouch.

[Getsmart64]

dude...I wouldn't take yahoo news reporting via AFP, Reuters, and AP as word for word accurate....

So you're saying Bush is fighting a political war and not fighting to win?

I think that's pretty close. A political war both domestic and abroad.

Thanks, boxerblues. The press is in full, destruct mode. What are they going to do when things get really bad in the years ahead? Bow down to Osama, Saddam, Kim (or their 'boss', Enemy #1)?

My post at the DoD thread. Then I'm praying and going to find some homecoming pics to celebrate our courageous troops and their families:

8 U.S. Forces Conducting Raids in Fallujah ~ Update from the fighting at Ar Ramadi: at least 12 brave Marines KIA, 20 wounded. Many enemies captured and killed. Aim true, troops! Our prayers are with you! ~ DoD | 4/06/04 | Jim Garamone

Fox News banner now saying 12 Marines have been killed in the fighting in Ramadi.

No mention of the number of enemies captured and killed by our troops.

FoxNews, our number one mainstream ally, continues to play enemy pics, repeat enemy demands.

Ignore the press, troops.

We know what's at stake, and who's in charge.

Our prayers are with you.

[AngryJawa]

Well said, PD.

[MEG33]

I agree.I can pray,grieve and cheer on our troops and the mission all at once.

Do not mistake expressions of sorrow over our losses with lack of realization that we are at war.War is hell,and we have resolve to see it through.

...AMERICA...HOME OF THE FREE BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE

Suggest FOX is closer to true facts!

[OXENinFLA]

Brit is on.

This day stinks of (Iranian,Hamas,Hezbal,PLO) Islamic Jihadists.

Have you seen the Video of the marching in the streets?

[LdSentinal]

It figures it was not al-Sadr's guys. It was probably Ramadi Sunni insurgents.

They knew once the Marines were done with Fallujah they would be next. Perhaps they could try to be a diversion for their comrades in Fallujah.

[GrandEagle]

we don't have to fight it this way. We have the technological advantage to fight this with a minimal amount of american deaths.
To some extent that is true but, the bottom line is that you can't take ground unless your standing on it.

[Dog]

AMEN!

[swarthyguy]

He Dude y'self, try and get smart and use your mind to evaluate the info.

Unlike you, I don't shoot the messenger.

Believe it or not, upto you.

Personally I read everything and evaluate it myself.

You can too instead of that silly kneejerk response.

So, tell me which sources meet with your stamp of approval.

>> They're out there for every one of us. We've got to be strong too. <<

Mega BUMP!!!

Remember, they fight there so we can be safe here. We'll all be praying hard. We must be strong for them. Let's keep our wits about us now. Our troops are the best in the world and they will not let us down. Let us not let them down either.

[Pukin Dog]

Why the name calling? If you disagree, fine. State your case. No need for the DU name-calling tactics.

Oh shut up.

This is supposed to be the place where smart people discuss issues. I get sick and tired of correcting some of you who have apparently never been in a fight, yet always have a negative word to say. You got off light. Name calling IS bad form, and I regret it, but some of you folks make me reach for the liguor cabinet, the way you are so ready to believe everything you see on television. BE SMART.

[kjam22]

If I was calling the shots 3 things would be true. 1) the Democrats would be calling me a murderer 2) The united nations would be calling me a murderer. 3) The good people (assuming there are any in the Suni Triangle) would be dragging the terrorists out and begging us to take them and stop bombing.

"David Chater from Sky News basically said that all journalists are in the dark. They don't dare to leave the hotel, and cannot get armed escorts."


Best news I've heard all day.

This thread doesn't need any more hype!

No kidding. This whole topic doesn't, the news is apoplectic about it.
