hubby was in Iraq at the time and Geraldo drawing troop positions in the sand..

I remember that and he got sent back to Kuwait for it, then he was all apologetic.

U.S. Successfully Completes Missile Test

VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. (AP) -- The Air Force successfully launched an unarmed intercontinental ballistic missile early Thursday.

The Minuteman III dummy warheads were fired at 3:14 a.m. and traveled about 4,200 miles before hitting a water target in the Marshall Islands.

Thanks! My nephew (and I) have a very strong spiritual foundation and that makes his deployment easy. He has been in military schools since he was a young lad and has a deep desire to serve not only his country, but God. God has given him the talent to shoot and he has achieved unbelievable distance sniping. He has asked me not to brag about his ability, but his distance and accuracy is historic, (i.e. record breaking). God bless him, his wife and his unit.

That's what my hubby said...he should have been arrested, instead he was sent back to Kuwait and wasn't allowed to go with the troops......what an idiot!

I agree...(about Jennifer, Amy, and Mike)...I hope that Fox realizes what great folks they have...and doesn't let them slip away. I'd love to see them use them more through all this coverage. Maybe over the weekend try doing something with them and maybe David Lee Miller, and see how the ratings were. I bet they'd be far better than some of the irrelevant stuff they air...or when they're doing taped stuff. That group over there is just really, really strong. And it's so nice that they've all spent (or lived) in the region, so they understand so much more from 'real life' and that shows in their reporting. Besides, you have to love someone like Jennifer who's so unflappable! She's nervier and more confident than pretty much anyone else that's been over there or broadcasting!

Good point about them all leaving before Condi coming...wonder if those networks will send someone back or use someone regional. Very curious about why on earth it costs the MSM so much to have someone like Williams or Gibson on the ground (daily costs being as high as they said)...

All this is becoming vaguely familiar to Desert Storm. The intense bombing campagin to isolate command and control from the guys in the field, hit infastructure to prevent resupply, special forces action, etc. all in preparation for the invasion force

Not to mention sleep deprivation ...

Whenever I see Sharpton on Bill O'Blarney's show, I wonder what they really think of one another. The underlying hostility is just below the surface of congenial tolerance.

Ever since O'Blarney castigated the Swift Boat Vets and continued promoting Kerry, I simply don't trust him.

if the IDF goes in, i hope they don't limit their operations to south of the Litani, they need to go to Hizbullah's "Eagles Nest" - the Bekka.

He was more concerned with professional hits put out by the enemy than bragging. Top snipers have a price on their head.

BO'R was just gloating last night that he never believed the SBVets...I think it was during his mail segment..
