What's the ETA?

Sorry, I don't know. But, maybe someone will "jump in" with an answer?

Is Greta on deck after Rita?

[SoldiersGirl]

I won't be surprised if we wake up tomorrow and Greta's in Iraq ambulance chasing.

Sky anchors and reporterette in DC are annoying tonight. Sneered at the surge in the PResident's approval to 70%. Being flip about the Pentagon briefing with Torie Clark and Gen. McChrystal.

Also, they keep showing that stupid video of the baby in the hospital and nurses dancing in support of Saddamn.

There is a soldier, reportedly (on FR) black, Muslim who was acting goofy earlier and told he wouldn't be moving up with his unit. Possibly another person is also involved. Anyway 13 injured, none life threatening. They have the soldier and I think he was shot in the leg. The 101st commanders were also shot at when they came out of the tents after the grenades. The military and the media isn't mentioning the Muslim part of the attacker.

Anybody can feel free to add to or edit these accounts. It's what I've been able to glean since I logged back on.

Did he convert to Islam before or after service?

Before.

LOL No, the deputy is Chirac!

CNN - they are aiding the enemy.

Did you catch Petah Jennings 'interviewing' the member of the Iraqi parliament last night? He allowed the man to spout a constant stream of not just criticisms butstatements about how the Iraqi people did not want to be free and would be, to paraphrase, repressed by the US. Petah did nothing but smile - not one challenge no matter how outrageous the statements.

To me, that was aiding the enemy and it smaked of giving Goering or Goebbels (sp?) air time during WWII.

Hey, that's mean, isn't she preggers?

[Tree of Liberty]

I don't think the fox crawl said specifically. It's either Aziz or the bald guy with the red mustache.

First pics from the 101st coming in on Fox

What did I miss about Greta and the ambulance?

[denydenydeny]

I love Rita Cosby's energy and work ethic, but she asks the silliest questions known to man. She's asking Henry Kissinger what he thinks about the grenade incident in Kuwait.
