That´s my favourite site that one should never forget.

I would expect that, if we are planning on conducting any ops tonight, it will be well after sunset, to help minimize civilian casualties.

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!

Oh, I realize he meant no harm and that he adores our fighting MEN! I just think "youngster" is okay to use if you're on Parris Island or Fort Bragg.....not on the Front Line in Kuwait.

Question: Anybody know the Offical Name for the Ongoing Operation to Liberate Iraq??

[maquiladora]

True, but I think we might wait till there's as little activity on the streets as possible, probably till around 23:00 Baghdad time. Keep an eye out for when those Buff's take off too.

Oh, puke. Coffee Anus making a statement.

And all the time I thought Rumsfeld dubbed it Operation Iraqi Freedon - LIVE THREAD.

After you've finished cleaning off the keyboard, the monitor and your shirt - DETAILS??

[steveegg]

In case anyone missed Steve Ducy's weather forecast, AP has it out, and we've got it.

[abnegation]

I assume we will learn that when Rummy has his presser.

I toggled over to CNN this morning (several times)....they were showing "Iraqi civilians in the hospital"..then Koffi.
Then went into "The World's Reaction" and Paula Zahn inserts snide comment "and most of it's negative".
I am so glad we have FOX News. CNN is despicable. I hope our troops are not watching CNN.

[maquiladora]

MSNBC broke the operation name about 2 days ago I recall. Or was it yesterday? It's all just a blur....

[maquiladora]

Try this.

Excellent coverage.

[Semper Paratus]

I assume we will learn that when Rummy has his presser.

Heard Pentagon Reporter on IMUS say the 11:00 briefing may not take plane, is this true?

Did y'all see this outrageousness:

3 Jews Die, MSNBC Staffer caught laughing
MSNBC | 3/19/03 | Professional


Posted on 03/19/2003 10:01 PM CST by Professional




On Monday at 7:45am, MSNBC was covering the tragic deaths of 3 Jews in Israel. Apparently, in an effort to avoid the risk of bio or chem warfare, a mother had taped up the living quarters airtight. She was using a barbeque type grill to keep her and two children warm...

As they broke away from the field reporter and back to the newsroom, one of the staffers could be audibly heard laughing at the incident. The MSNBC morning anchor's face went pale and had a look of shock, she seemed aware that the staffer didn't realize it was audible.
