just got word from FReeper Dundee who is on one of the ships in the Gulf (I can't say which one). He said g'day to everyone and that there is some major butt kicking going on, especially from the Aussies.


Prayers for him and all those protecting freedom today.

Dead man in re-run, I think. (^:

[SoldiersGirl]

This is freaking rich.....guess who just sent 39 troops to Qatar to identify WMD when we find them.... FRANCE!!!!! This from CNN..

Will be fun to watch them surrender.

"I don't think I've ever seen such an unbroken run of liberal, anti-American coverage...

It's getting out of hand. Now Fox is showing how bad its getting--45 second clip and comment. But FOX doesn't "side" with them like CNN does...CNN is right out there having a good ole time with them. I see LOSERS--these people have no idea how idiotic they look. They are all "wanna-bees"..they "wanna be" like what they saw from the 60's and don't have a clue. It's disgusting that they are straining LE resources with their bull$hit. The protests in NYC: how quickly they have forgotten. Frightening to see how this "party" has grown since WW2, huh?

[TigersEye]

Anyone have links to live coverage on like Fox or MSNBC web sites?

Here is a thread listing numbers of websites with streaming video. This is what I was too bleary eyed to find last night.

[Tripleplay]

Just look for "Made in France"

[knak]

I haven't been paying attention today. When are the bombs supposed to start up again? Any guesses?

[Dog]

Fox: The military team sent into Iraq to hunt for WMD ......will have embedded reporters with them. So the world will know what we find..

Boy slimer, someday I'll learn to post those critters. Sounds like a "Belly Dancer" would make part of this group happy.

I don't think I've ever seen such an unbroken run of liberal, anti-American coverage SEWAGE.

That's the entire French military. Aren't they worried about defending their homeland?

Oh yeah, they got 50,000,000 white flags for that.

That's so they have someone on site that can read the French on the packages and the instruction manuals.

we oughta take this act on the road

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Thank you, Dundee! Many Freepers are at rallies right now for YOU guys! Don't worry about the homefront. We're so proud of all of you. Prayers on the way.

My guess is there won't be much ordnance directed at Baghdad. Only "restrikes" based on intelligence gathered during daylight. Plenty of ordnance launched and in the air, but its target is outside of Baghdad.

There are some rumors of a few more strikes in the city proper, timed for maximum psycological impact, and aimed at command/control or symbolic buildings.

The only reason Switzerland is a neutral country is so criminals and dictators can have a place to stash their money and have no fear that the bank will be looted.
