What's up with the CBS special report? Nothing on the other nets. 6 wounded in an attack in Kuwait, cause unknown, possible terrorist attack.

That HAD to be the look on his face wednesday night as that barrage entered his palace. Priceless!

Don Wade has the call from "Angie" up on his Website and has been playing a number of times on the air. I think it has had a big impact here in Chicago. This is only the beginning of what is going to come out.

Have you seen this website..."Operation Shoe Box"?

Check out the "Cookie Lady". She gives ideas on where to get donations of dental floss, toothpaste, eye drops, etc. to send to the troops with your donated goodies(many great ideas).

Don't know if you've reported this: CBS broke into programming - 6 soldiers injured in Kuwait during an attack on their camp. Don't know if it was a terrorist attack. Didn't say it was a missile or scud - sounded like a bomb.

BBC interviewing Chris Patten, EU Minister of External Affairs.

BBC asking him if this is a wrong war.

Patten: No point in that view. We have no international ability to disarm WMDs without military intervention

Patten: Chirac's language very damaging. You won't hear Colin Powell speaking that way.

Sky News reporting and showing video that B-52s at RAF Fairford are getting ready to go again

[steveegg]

Probably just the usual; pounding of Iraqis, a few air raid sirens in Baghdad.

We had better than 3,000 show up for the local FReep (helped that the local ClearChannel stations helped sponsor it and linked it to their support the troops campain).

CBS - back to basketball. Sounded like a terrorist attack. Camp is in full defensive mode. Six soldiers taken out in stretchers.

[Carolina]

BBC reporter: Height of arrogance to offer ultimatum.

Patten: Bush says humility with strength. I believe him. Referring back to September 11th.

Gertrude Stein wrote in Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas: “...and as all roads lead to Paris"

We will see how true this is:)

This is only the beginning of what is going to come out.

I know, years ago I use to work with some people that came from Iraq, I heard some of the stories, they made me cry then as they do now

What do the likes of NOW have to say after this womens plea ..

I will NEVER understand nor forget these people who are against getting rid of Saddam .. NEVER!

[Peach]

The left try to tear down everything good and support everything evil. It's becoming clearer and clearer with every passing day.

[July 4th]

Fox now showing B52s ready to go. Still no one else reporting the possible terrorist attack in Kuwait. (CBS reporter was a 101st embed; perhaps got the scoop.)

[The Wizard]

B-52's getting ready at Fairford
