To all who helped this get started, thank you!

Whoever wrote his speech is a moron.

But you have to give this guy kudos, he's willing to stand up and look like a total idiot on worldwide TV.

And he's only increasing his signature for attack!!

[GOPyouth]

Now he's saying there have been hundreds of rockets fired on baghdad. Jeeeze FR is going WAY slow.

[MEG33]

Lordy mercy We disabled their tanks after a surrender!A repeat of the victory Saddam claimed after he was kicked out of Kuwait! Hospital talk (207 wounded by criminals)

[Mo1]

Has any noticed it is ALWAYS this guy that seems to come out and talk .. where is Azziz (sp?) these days?

[GOPyouth]

Now he's saying there have been hundreds of rockets fired on baghdad. Jeeeze FR is going WAY slow.

[momofsixgirls]

I'll just bet his nose is abig enough target for a cruise missile, please Mr. Rumsfeld, do it now!

[sweetliberty]

This is something that was suspected and prepared for as I understand it. There was a thread about it a day or 2 ago.

[TigersEye]

So who can give me the MSNBC Baghdad cam link again? Everytime I go to their site, it's somewhere else and I'm tired of looking. Thanks.

I see you're lost in the fog of war too. ;^)

FOX report from the front lines said 3 or so Iraqi's took on a Bradley with AK-47's, to quote the reporter, "You can imagine how that turned out."

Moral of the story:

Don't take a rifle to a tank fight!

[merrin]

FOFL ... did he just call General Meyers a Loser??

I think so (was it "Rumsfeld and his loser General Myers"?), but I have a hard time listening to these sing-songy simultaneous translations. It always seems to turn into that Peanuts kind of "Wah-wah-wah" thing.

[slimer]

They have no shame. That is why I have to lie to you because they have no shame.

[CheneyChick]

blah blah blah blah blah blah. What a joke.

[Terriergal]

[goodnesswins]

[GOPyouth]

Brian Wilson: This is a rather low level functionary.

[Danette]

HeHe
Fox reporter just SO cut off the mad monica guy....

I honestly think SH has to be dead or seriously wounded since he hasn't stuck his big old head on Iraqi tv yet.

"I don't mean to demean the info minister, but he's a low ranking dude"

[CheneyChick]

What did the big organizations in America do? This guy is smoking some serious stuff.
