"The 11th Iraqi army has surrendered entirely. "

Okay, now I am convinced that the Euro Trash Media and CNNi s*ck. This should have been the top headline of the morning!!!

"I'm shocked and saddened", I am!

The ENTIRE 11th Army?? Good God that is a coup!

The thing is .. They DO know better, but don't care because it is all about THEM and not about the country as a whole

They don't get it and they NEVER WILL

Does anyone know if there is a major fight for the S. town of Basra or not? How about the port town down by Q8? Sure, a few oil fires, but I have yet to see any accurate report about the fighting, or lack thereof?

David Bloom reported there are 3 army divisions in southern Iraq. One of them, the 11th, has capitulated. He didn't independently verify, passing along what his unit commander told him.

How I hope you are so right. That not only has Saddam and his evil regime fallen, but the Clintons also, today.

Saw the Senate close down for the night. Didn't realize the commies in the House were giving us such a fine display of patriotism. I would love to see Barney Frank swept away yu the tide of indignance. He looked like such a maroon in the soundbites I caught of him
