Also, the reporter on Fox who said a missile hit very close-by - seemed then the Iraqis would know where the reporter was imbedded with our military and could re-position accordingly. Couldn't agree more with you! That was dumb and so glad to now see General Franks put a lid on the news. Some reporters proved in the first minute of ground attack why the military didn't want them along. I don't have a need to know real time and I would hope that others don't think they need to know real time either!

Yeah, I've been watching skynews on the web all day, but the resolution is pathetically small and so is msnbc. I was wanting something halfway desent. You can increase the percentage size of the screen in windows media player but then its gets choppy and pixelated...was looking for another streaming webcast, not real audio either. Prefer Windows Media Player.

News breaks:
MSNBC - Turkish airspace (not airfields, unfortunately) will open for US flyover at 5 pm EST.
Sky News - "Reliable" sources estimate that 27% of Republican Guards either have surrendered or will surrender when we get there to accept it.

The Aussie Senate can vote to bomb the US,too and it doesn't mean they have the power to do so. It was a liberal fit.

CENTCOM has put a lid on news thanks to some networks reporting everything real time! Looks like ABC was one of them. All video has to be approved from the ground troops by CENTCOM before it is released.BOYCOTT DISNEY: a vortex of seductive evil

Sky reporting as much as 20% of Rep. Guard may have surrendered. You're beyond toast Hussein.
Also saying that Iraqi pilots were forced to sign papers committing themselves to suicide missions or if they refused their families would be executed.

Sadam "persuaded" his pilots to sign an oath.... persuaded by threatening to excute their families.
SH also said that any deserter would be executed.
There's a big surprise.
