You heard right.

BBC alert - Are you using the bombing campaign to turn one part of the regime against another?

Franks - Evaded, but essentially said yes.

Where's Sean Hannity? Did you hear him? Is he working? They've pre-empted him here in Houston, and I haven't seen him on Fox. I'd like to hear his takes.

[GOPyouth]

heh heh yeah.

[Carolina]

I presume you mean hugh.

Oh, pardon me. HUGH!

BBC reporting Iraqi sources say 200-300 injured, 2 killed in Bagdad...

Here it is... I AM SHOCKED AND AWED.

I am Absolutely Awed at the precision of these strikes. Yesterday I watched in awe as I saw three bunkerbusters hit in precisely the same spot... burrowing down into that palace to the underground hidey-holes, no doubt. I'm also in awe that we know so precisely where these hidey-holes are located within a so-called palace. I suspect we have even better knowledge about other locations. So, yes, I am Awed.

I am Shocked, absolutely, that we have been able to do this in such a surgical manner that even a lying and controlling government has not been able to inflate casualty figures to more than 200-300 from such a bombardment.

I wish I could stay around and discuss this more, but gotta run.

By the way, I saw at least three instances of bombs being placed in precisely the same hole. This is really Amazing, as well.

Wasn't JLo on Living Color? :)

Yeah, she was one of the dancers in-between segments...

Franks is NOT intimidated by the pressers at all. LOL.

[Carolina]

Turned to the reporter and said, "Why would you say that?"

A lot of you BBC guys. Haha.

[Straight Vermonter]

I'm also in awe that we know so precisely where these hidey-holes are located within a so-called palace.

Ground penetrating radar.

[Carolinamom]

I thought Greta announced last night that our guys HAD found WMDs. Not verified yet? Waiting for Blix to confirm? LOL

[GOPyouth]

He reminds me a LOT of LBJ. Big and intimidating.

[StriperSniper]

Why are there no green mammals???

Do sloths with alge growing on them count?;-)

[Mo1]

Morning .. Y'all

IS the war over yet?

[Howlin]

I wondered about that last night..........where are they?

[Carolina]

Waiting for Blix to confirm? LOL

That would be like waiting for Godot.

[GOPyouth]

"whoah whoah whoah... I don't ever recall saying that."

[Jackie-O]

I've proudly become a part of the "new addicts crowd"
If not for these threads I would be in the dark. A great deal of the operations have happened while I'm at work with NO TV!!! Thanks to all of you talented and knowledgeable FReepers, I'm not missing a thing!

[Howlin]

Don't think so.

[killjoy]

"I have been watching the war coverage since the beginning and I have serious doubts about the numbers and the amounts of strikes that are taking place. My question for you is, is that your natural hair color?"

[mhking]

"Can you show us the thousands Iraqi troops going home and walking away?"

Just damn.
