Please post more info as you get it. I'm on fox right now.

I was able to get Sky News last night with a trick posted by ......someone.

Suggested I copy the url and put it in a NEW browser window rather than just clicking on the link.

Worked like a charm!

It was just posted on their breking news bar, Nothing more so far

Thanks, and thank Ironclad for the inspiration (his idea) and statistical data on U.S. mortality rates.

This being the most popular line of threads on FR, I'm sure it'll get plenty of reads right here.

U.S. Casualties Expose Risks, Raise Doubts About Strategy

Well, in tonight's Apache action, for instance, the Air Cav went out and shot up 70 T-72's around the Karbala Gap. The Gap is protected by the Hammurabi division. This one division has been virtually eliminated by Apache units and air elements, at least as far as his heavy armor is concerned.

I've always believed that we're going to degrade the two Guard divisions two the south and blow a hole in the Hammurabi division, as you suggest. Then Third ID will wheel around and invest the Nebuchadnezzar division from the rear. I suppose that we'll throw in the 101 somewhere.

But you're right, we'll probably have no mano a mano contest between Third ID and the Guard. As you write, we are degrading the bastards.

Talking now about it

We're going to have to do some major work in Tikrit.

With all the cameras on Baghdad, we can be a little less accurate in other places, like Tikrit.

I think the Fox reporters from both the Pentagon and Centcom have done excellent work too. And of course, Brit and Tony too.

MSNBC saying officials are not saying where it's located.

Nothing could be more disgusting than Ted Koppel's report on World Nightly News tonight.
At the very end, he showed 2 dead Iraqi's lying behind a rock. Before they shut off, I saw a fly landing on one of the dead guy's arms.
I sent an email to ABC telling them what an inferior piece of journalism it was.

[Krafty123]

can you elaborate?

[Fledermaus]

From what I can tell, the MSNBC cam is about 30 seconds behind the camera picture on FNC

Kazaa does have the video..full length, in English

[GOPyouth]

great poster.

Current U.S. casualty count: 15 in four days +.

While we are advancing in a blitzkrieg offensive at the pace of 100 miles per day. That is astounding and unprecedented in the entire history of warfare.

[justshe]

Did they give any indication...roughly....where the second plant is?

I am SO loving this....take THAT AND THAT AND THAT.....Hans Blix and your old Europe cronies!

[Cboldt]

To your health, Poser, and to the guardianship of angels for all of our troops.

Good for you,

Just so you know, it does bother me to hear about casualties, simply because my fiance is a Marine. While he is not yet over there, I am friends with many women who have husbands over there currently. I also have freinds who could be there right now; I really don't know. Every casualty ups the chances of my fiance being deployed very soon. I realize that this is simply a part of war, as does everyone who is involved with the military, but it doesn't stop us from being bothered by it. I also realize that there have been very few deaths, but it doesn't stop this from being frightening to those of us with loved ones at stake...

I admit, the media sucks, but I just wanted to give you a heads up on how your post might be a bit harsh (since it seems to be directed at everyone....)...sorry if you feel that I am whining...
