What are they doing? They look like mental patients on a field trip.

Looks like the B-52s haven't taken off tonight.

[Timeout]

Ha Ha Ha! I'm getting delirious....must sleep soon.

[slimer]

Been at this too long. Need another nap. ;^)

Me too - eating reeses cups and drinking coffee.

[valleygal]

They didn't talk about the mistress story long but they did give her name.

Sure has been strange that we are rolling into Iraq with little resistance so far. Could only be happening if no one's in charge!

We had the, "Is this really Saddam?" debate here last night.
It's getting interesting, that's for sure.

Going back upstairs to watch FOX. The family has the TV down here! C'ya.

[Mo1]

I noticed .. my guess is that we'll get our troops in position around bagdad .. see what is up .. if they are still resisting and Saddam is still alive .. then you'll see the S&A hit Bagdad like promised

[CatOwner]

"However, I just heard another expert on FOX state that Saddam could be just drawing us in....and the worst is yet to come."

This is my belief, and we should find out in the next 2-3 days.

[Carolina]

They'll get to Baghdad soon, by the looks of it.

[DonnerT]

Ummhmmmmssnnnnnzzzzzzzzzzzz

[Cate]

I've been away from the computer for awhile :( // I'm getting caught up on the Iraq situation, but what about Afghanistan? Anything new from that war front?

[prairiebreeze]

LOL! LOL!

To be honest, I haven't heard anything since last night .. I know geraldo was on the air earlier, but I didn't hear what he said

[Timeout]

I haven't seen a new report out of Geraldo since this morning. They've replayed it a couple of times tonight, but it was the morning footage.

I've been betting for weeks that Geraldo will be on the scene when OBL is nabbed.

[cactusSharp]

just had a thought...those tanks will get stopped assumably somewhere and therefore will be in the open yes ? well then the shock and awe comes ???

[overtaxed_canadian]

From Drudge:

PAPER: Reconnaissance photographs: Iraqi artillery units preparing to use chemical warfare shells... Developing...

[Cate]

You know, Geraldo has been skunked alot of times in his career, I honestly would like to see him there when they found Osama. We have to acknowledge he's worked his butt off on the Afghanistan story. I guess we'll have to wait until tomorrow a.m. for an update. Thanks

[Timeout]

David Bloom on now: reporting Iraqi 11th Army Division has surrendered.

[Timeout]

It's kind of like rooting for the underdog. All the "elite" media make fun of Geraldo, so I'm rootin' for him to bag the OBL story.

[Mo1]

Oh Gerarldo doesn't bother me .. well as long as he doesn't talk about Clinton

and if he can hunt down and find OBL .. more power to him ..
