That's what I was thinking, too. A few days ago, the headlines were hollering that Iraq had pulled ballistic missiles within firing range of American forces in Kuwait. I'm harboring serious doubts that we just let those missiles get moved right in without doing anything to them.

There's probably been a hundred incidents like this in the last few days, and there's no way that we're going to sit there on the ground in Kuwait and let our forces be open to those kind of threats. We're probably seeing the survivors of the missile batteries and artillery pieces that were recently hit. The war hasn't even officially started yet and these Iraqis have already seen enough. I'm sure they have good reason.

LOL!!

Perhaps FR could sponsor a surrender contest. Iraqi that surrenders the fastest and most passionately gets a free ride on the FReeper Cruise.

Oh, wait... to make this fair we'll have to include the cheese-eating surrender monkeys. Ya know, the Frogs.

Just like 1991, pretty soon they'll be surrendering to helicopters and the press.

What happened to the Iraqi's that surrendered during Desert Storm? Did we ship them off to another land, or something?

LOL! You don't know?

We took many of them, Canada and others took a bunch. some went home to Saddam, but were never seen again.

You know he wants the credit for capturing OBL.

My son should have just touched down there with his group from the 101st. His mother & I are a triffle skittish at the moment.

tbpiper, Your son will be in our prayers.

Has Geraldo gotten anything right in the past few years? OBL was just seconds from capture in Tora Bora, the Turks were hours away from letting Americans use their bases... Yeah, yeah. I don't believe a word he says.

Canada took some Iraqi's....

Well that means Canda probably gave 'em all drivers licenses and sent 'em south of the border down our way. Right now most of 'em are probably driving cabs in NYC.

Drudge, as he often does, is yanking this from a Press Association wire report that moves each night with teasers from the next day's UK papers.

The story of Iraqi soldiers surrendering is going to be in the Sunday Mirror. So take it with a grain (or block) of salt.

The last I heard, we were training over a thousand in our military facilities. They will participate in the invasion and will be a big part of the temporary govt.

I understand that they volunteered in droves. I wish I had source for this, but there was something on FR a while back.

below 500 feet AGL -- and *over* Mach one!

I'm not sure we have anything that can do that, that is supersonic on the deck, since the demise of the F-111s and B-1A. Maybe F-15Es or F-16s for a little while. But with those you can have 200 feet AGL, hands off at night if you wish, by using the LANTIRN TF pod, lower if you use the "special" low altitude mode.
