Uh oh - emergency alert on all stations?

Oh, no doubt!

Good ol' Brett. I think he loves Rummy like a dad! LOL!

." Domestically, it makes the peacniks and DEMs look like bed-wetters, and globally, it may give heart to the subjects of other oppressive regimes.

Maybe we should drop snack bags with wine and brie along with the flyers.

NY Times is a threat to our national security.

[Mo1]

CNN's saying it?

I don't know about CNN .. I refuse to watching that channel

[knak]

they haven't said anything else

[austex]

fox just said that 'on fire' buildings are the "Planning Ministry" - not sure what that is...

[Dog]

Listen to me everyone.......we will lose people tonight......everyone needs to brace themselves for this.

Our people knew the risks......and accepted them....this is a just cause.

Maybe just my local cable provider and AM broadcaster -- at exactly the same time. I hope we don't have a problem here at this moment. But, if so, Bush told us we'd plow right on, and we will, because it is the right thing to do.

Our military used phamplet drops AND dropped small, hand-cranked radios that are tuned into our broadcast.

We are communicating with them!

That would be the manufacturer of the Blackhawk. Could the Iraqis be repeating earlier news (the copter that went down just before the targets of opportunity went up?)

Could be.

I forgot the funny part of this. Just before the misssile attack, I tuned into NBC and little Tommy Dashole was just starting to rant. They had to cut him off to cover the Baghdad attack. I don't think he was too happy about it. Poor baby.

Can you be more specific? Could be just a test on your local cable. A new FCC ruling requires EMS messages to go over all channels simultaniously now, not just the broadcast networks.

The A-6 (and the derivative EA-6, the only version still flying) is VERY distinctive; its refuelling probe is fixed to the windshield of the aircraft.

Sadaam has 50ish body doubles. Raise your hand - who thinks paranoia????

I think maybe it's only paranoia if you're wrong in believing everyone's out to get you.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Any Iraqi with a working radio will hear instructions from us.

Can you please lost that stupid picture of the cartoon character?

Get lost.

Be Seeing You,

Blair has been brilliant and brave. Bravo and our heartfelt thanks.

Yes, I no longer dislike BMW's and I was so proud to see Fox show our and their flags together.
