Watch the lies on France 2 Television: CSpan I right now.

[The Wizard]

they knew just wher to go: check the journalists

[Peach]

CBS Reporting now - an intruder walked into the 101St airborne and lobbed grenades into two tents - hitting the top leadership of that unit. 8 of our soldiers injured - 6 seriously. Soldier who was interviewed said the person who penetrated the tents knew who/what they were looking for.

[Carolina]

C-Span...Couldn't watch them. All the blather about "illegal, immoral, blah, blah, blah."

[ninenot]

Security ks better in England. Italy is FULL of holes.

[colette_g]

Go it, on CNN now

[Petronski]

The subtitles do not match the narration. It's odd.

What the protestors don't want to admit:

[from other new reports] "Coming into Basra as part of a massive military convoy, I encountered a stream of young men, dressed in what appeared to be Iraqi army uniforms, applauding the US marines as they swept past in tanks."

[Green]

isn't that the group ollie north is with?

[Carolina]

an intruder walked into the 101St airborne and lobbed grenades into two tents

Dear Lord. Prayers going up.

[Peach]

8 injured - 6 seriously. Soldier said they have trucks with supplies coming in all the time. NOT good security - hopefully a lesson to be learned for all our troops in this war.

[Fledermaus]

where's the perimeter security?

[ninenot]

Didn't hear about that at all.

WIll be interesting to see what the 6p newscasters say, or don't say.

[sweetliberty]

"some DU's have been comparing pics of WTC burning to Baghdad burning..I knew it was coming but it is still revolting"

THOSE people are revolting. Times like this I stay clear away from them. I get much too angry.

[MadIvan]

I'm just as shocked as you are.

Regards, Ivan
