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

[Tree of Liberty]

The guy on Fox said that the Abrams consume the same amount of gas at idle and full throttle. According to FAS, it has about a 275mi range on one tank of gas.

I think all of these reporters flunked the common sense program.

Commom Sense is not so common

This is an excerpt from this site that I found interesting

Raed Blogspot

..."I have never seen Baghdad like this. Today the Ba’ath party people started taking their places in the trenches and main squares and intersections, fully armed and freshly shaven. They looked too clean and well groomed to defend anything. And the most shocking thing was the number of kids. They couldn’t be older than 20, sitting in trenches sipping Miranda fizzy drinks and eating chocolate (that was at the end of our street) other places you would see them sitting bored in the sun. more cars with guns and loads of Kalashnikovs everywhere....

...sorry but to me it's really weird.

There's plenty of weird to go around these days. That's true.

FN: "There is a mole within Saddam's inner circle." Tipped of Tenet.

[GOPyouth]

I appreciate it.

[Mo1]

The guy on FNC thinks that we had a mole in Saddam's inner circle and that is why things are moving along so good so far

Hearing the 11th Iraqi Army has surrendered. Catching up here. Prairie

[TonyInOhio]

David Bloom, NBC, with 3rd Infantry, reports his troopers are hearing on their radios that the Iraqi 11th Division has surrendered en masse.

Watching Cspan debate a resolution commening our troops. Nancy Pelosi is a bitch on wheels. She says even though I disagree with some of the language in this res. I still think we should pass it. Even though I disagree with the policy that led us into this war, blah, blah, blah,

Just pass it. Sheeeessssshhhh

[valleygal]

FOX also said his mistress passed a poly test and said the guy we saw last night was not Saddam. Said ambulances showed up to the command post right after the bombing.

Black smoke covering Kuwait city from Iraq. Footage on Fox.

[Mo1]

she is trying to play both sides of the fence .. the dems always do that just in case things don't work out their way

[Consort]

Pelosi is now playing the gender card with our troops.

[slimer]

But your excellency, the computer you gave me had this screen saver already on it and I don't understand Arabic.

Latest Raed post to his site was yesterday.

[B4Ranch]

You've got that right! I think it disappeared with common courtesy.
