Ok, thanks. Then I missed the first heli accident. Glad that nobody was killed or injured.

Fox talking head just said there is alot of toilets filling up in Baghdad.........LOL!

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

FN: Col. Hunt: Campaign so far...Shows "the amazing trust this President has in the military" to give a command like the one last night....and our work so far proves we're flexible.

 

"If you're sitting on the Iraqi side, there are a lot of toilets filling up right now."

 

John Snow: Treasury to confiscate Iraq's non-diplomatic assets in the U.S.

Ricin was found three days ago - Fox

"...people the leaders don't use those railways.....it people like us."

Not people like me. 90% of them support Chirac's belligerance to us and our allies. Let them reap what they've sown.

I keep going back and forth between the OU Sooners playing in OKC and the news. Finally found their game on ESPN. Still looking for it on the radio! Need the scores run across the bottom of the screen so I don't have to switch.

Then he said "That, or we're just screwin' with 'em".

LOL!!

[Drago]

OK...I can accept that, I just think that depending on how the limited airstrikes go and how the ground troops proceed, we may never see the massive S&A strike (3000+ precision munitions at one go). Gen. Franks will make major changes to plan as reports come in...ie. that Saddam is dead or that massive surrendering is going on in a certain area. This also makes GW look more compassionate.

More info on the French ricin from Fox News - it was discovered 3 days ago, is a "trace".

[Quilla]

I'll be leaving the office heading for home in a few minutes. I hope Col. Hunt will still be on Fox, he sounds like a hoot.

[null and void]

Bummer of a screen name...

[Peach]

Ricin found 3 days ago in France and we're just now hearing about it? (I'm being careful here..)

[Quilla]

Well, that is odd it hasn't been reported before this opportune moment.

[AppyPappy]

It sounds like it has been transported and the residue that was left in the bottles was found.

[uncitizen]

Did anyone else hear this on Fox News about an hour ago: That Homeland Sec Secretary Ridge says that terrorism will occur here. It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when?

I was on the phone and am not sure if that's what was said. Someone please confirm if that is in fact what was said. Thank You!

[P.O.E.]

On an unrelated topic, good FR analysis of Saddam's double.

[Dead Corpse]

BBC saying two vials. that's a lot more than a trace.

[TexKat]

Two small flasks found in lost luggage depot at French rail station

Oh don't worry, they will just blame it on the U. S. terrorist.

Three metric day = 2 standard hours.
