"David Kaye on with BrokeJaw this morning mentioned that the actual "Food for Oil" programme money is held by a bank in..." FRANCE,

Like I said , they are all in it! Up to their eyeballs! They just tried to pull the biggest BS, CYA in history, and Bush called their hand.

Don't whether this'll fly, but I've got CN8 from Philly on RealOne at http://www.cn8.tv/shared/video/livestream.ram - it appears that this is local news from Philadelphia; I don't know if they've got any news from the theater or not....

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

I knew about the Iran hits, but didn't know the Pentagon confirmed they were ours. Thanks. Major gets excited.

[Miss Marple]

LOL!

Garrett says Iraqi leadership has been severed. Whether permanently or not, Garrett can't say.

[mhking]

I can hear a few in the background, but nothing huge...

[Dog]

General McIntery.....thinks the Iraqi's are about to collapse.....cross your fingers it's true....

[Dolphy]

Thank you for reposting that. I live in Michigan and have had an opportunity to talk with many from Iraq. The most horrible thing among those in Europe who call President Bush arrogant is that they are the arrogant ones. They are the ones, even knowing of the atrocities of Saddam, lobbied to keep him in power as if the people of Iraq deserved nothing better and not the life of an average European. That to me is arrogance.

[Fledermaus]

how do they "accidently" land in Iran? hmmmm

[woodyinscc]

Gen. McInerny(sp) just went out on a limb and implied
that Saddam and Azziz were all dead!

[MEG33]

I think they're hitting military outside Baghdad.

[sweetliberty]

Drat! I have GOT to go to the grocery! I cannot fast till the end of the war, although there would be side benefits.

FN - Lt. Col. Tom McInerny: Re. Saddam - "I'm gonna go out on a limb...the head has been severed." "This campaign, I believe, has been executed brilliantly. It was planned brilliantly." "With all that bombing yesterday there were, what, 3 or 8 casualties." "Because we did it at night...and we told the people...(on internet, radio, leaflets) stay home...they stayed home...It is a complex operation. I think we'll see this thing come apart in the next 2 or 3 days."

[Mo1]

O dear ,those were our missiles that did hit Iran!

I heard that .. question is how is Iran handling this?

[Fledermaus]

ha ha, I hit the grocery last night. In and out in 20 minutes with at least 4 days supplies...but still need more beer! lol

[Cboldt]

They lose guidance, and just keep flying until out of fuel, or hit an obstacle.

[Dolphy]

LOL, they need to check for any handwritten notes that were attached.

[Cboldt]

They lose guidance, and just keep flying until out of fuel, or hit an obstacle.

Better, they lose targeting capability, they have enough "guidance" to keep flying.

[prairiebreeze]

Sometimes the guidance systems fail and they become "dumb bombs"--go off target and well, I suppose it's wise to watch out at that point.

Hey Prairie!

Can you imagine how awful those fires must smell? And the oil-filled trenches burning around Baghdad, too. Ugh.
