I just had lunch with an anti-war type (business obligation). He told me that some of our troops closest to Baghdad are eating only one meal a day because they can't get the supply trucks to them. Is this accurate?

[Howlin]

No!

[Solson]

No and it's silly to believe ANYTHING an Anti says...without verification.

[SoldiersGirl]

they carry their own food with them in their rucks. They also have cases of MRE's on the tracks. I doubt seriously after only a few days they are out of food

Last night/morning(oh, I can't tell the difference at this point) Rick Leventhal was reporting that they were getting there supplies just fine.

RL also reported that they had moved from desert to farmland. Anyone know if there is farmland near Bghdad.

. . . some of our troops closest to Baghdad are eating only one meal a day because they can't get the supply trucks to them.

It may be true. In the CENTCOM/Qatar presser this AM, the word was that no mission-compromising interruptions had occurred, and that the logistics folks are keeping up with requests. Also noted there is no shortage of ammunition.

Early next week, the complaint will be that the filet mignon is one day past its expiration date.

This was asked at the CENTCOM briefing early this morning also. The general said no supply problem at all.

[Quilla]

I believe this is a media-originated rumor as our supply lines are being reported as 'spread thin'. Even so, it would seem to me that the Air Force, having hit nearly every tactical target already, could drop supplies if needed.

[A Citizen Reporter]

This supply line problem is a strawman the media is throwing out. I saw an interview this morning with someone from, I believe, the 3rd ID who said that they were supplied daily with ammunition. They were firing off test rounds of ammo.

No, when you get this cr@p make a wager with the fool, the nonsense will soon stop.
