[An.American.Expatriate]

This is a thread to collect all the breaking stories regarding the Libration of Iraq

[GraniteStateConservative]

Including the elite guard.

MSNBC reporting helicopter is down but do not know where -- Army Apache Attack Helicopter. Just a report!

[steveegg]

Correction; 20% (somehow heard 27%; sorry about that) of Republican Guard set to surrender.

MSNBC's finally reporting the Apache incident.

Different channels could see reporters just itching to tell and "pretending" to nearly slip. They blew it and proved themselves untrustworthy. Can you imagine being allowed to go with the troops and risking their lives and your own to get a story first? I hate the press more than the Dems, and that's considerable.

[ONA-ASIS]

The Aussie Senate has NO power to bring the troops home. Real power lies in the House of Reps.

We're here until the very end.

I've got my own sources telling me the Aussie SAS is having a VERY good war.

If CENTCOM put a lid on the media we are about to excute something big.......and he wants no leaks...

[eliteman]

Yeah i got you there, just wanted one that streamed in higher res...not a little tiny box.

[austex]

I agree....I think there is something fishy about the tape - even if it was saddam. all right White House: is he still alive? is he dead? when was this tape produced.

[not-alone]

I did some work after the Six Day War for the Dept. of Defense of Israel and had some great laughs at P.J.Clarks when they told stories of the lies. They said it help them more than any weapon they had. One guy would say he was winning and reinforcements would turn around go somewhere else. Amazing they never learned.

I call them MediaCrats

[retrokitten]

It's been quite awhile hasn't it, since the last bombing run?

[MEG33]

There was a helicopter down,no injuries earlier.

[Petronski]

Ted Kennedy in the Senate calls for unity, expresses support for our troops "who are fighting for our values".

Curl up and die, Splash.

[Dog]

NBC....An Apache chopper is down...inside Iraqi.

[PhiKapMom]

I am with you -- the press is right down there with the RATs for me too!

Brian Williams is not my favorite anchor but I will give him credit -- he refused to report one thing until DoD or CENTCOM said they could. Same with Chip Reid who is embedded.

[colette_g]

I'm sure Sky News just had text in their "breaking news" section that mentioned something about pilots being ordered into suicide missions - anyone else catch this, I haven't seen it repeated

[Tree of Liberty]

Preparing of the battlefield "has gone like clockwork" according to a field commander - Fox

[null and void]

Am I finally caught up???

[ninenot]

ABC...isn't that where Comrade Piotr Jenningskaya, native of Canada, works?

Canada...didn't they tell us to stuff it?

Surprise, surprise, surprise,.....
