Networks that were taking a break from war coverage this morning are now showing this briefing.

BBC RealPlayer feed is about 30 second slower than TV, so you can see the explosions on TV and again on BBC/RealPlayer. FYI

Showing aerial shots of the oil fires. Only 9 were set afire in Raymalah (sp?).

[Carolina]

Only 9 of 500 of the Ramallah iilfields were sabotaged.

[Howlin]

You are thinking of Hugh Shelton, who gets roundly booed at each and every State game he attends.

[steveegg]

There's more Iraqis waiting for us to arrive so they can surrender.

[GOPyouth]

Sweet aerial shots of a LOT of Iraqi troops lined up to surrender.

Troops are performing "magnificently".

[Carolina]

Stressing the humanitarian campaign. Take that, you peaceniks.

Franks: Our troops are performing as expected, magnificently.

[Timeout]

I've gotta say this. I'm sooo happy they've given an African-American such a prominent role here. Though it shouldn't make a difference, this will be important to a lot of people. Move over Jesse & Al, a new hero may be entering stage right.

[Mad Dawgg]

Man that guy that was just talking (vince) is A big Dude!

[prairiebreeze]
