He's dead, Jim

[Mr.Crimson]

Yeah....thats where all the oil for food cash was going

[texxie]

oh tay

[LikeLight]

Seems kind of stalled (the video) and sounds like many explosions (the new link Spodefly provided). . .

[Sir_Ed]

We've just hit the Fedayeen in Basra..Chemical Ali's Fedayeens.

There's still the ones in Baghdad to deal with...

Ed

[Mr.Crimson]

Well then he's sleepin with the worms

[Tree of Liberty]

I think Saddam has been eating the worm!

I think it's the other way around

[SoldiersGirl]

oh please..those children are well versed in pull-my-finger....hey, smell my feet real quick, burping the alphabet...and sneak fart attacks...there is NO way I could get them to boo their greatest source of entertainment.

[An.American.Expatriate]

So, it's off to work for me!!

Back in about 90 Minutes.

God Speed

[this_ol_patriot]

I just got Sky about 30 minutes ago, took about an hour of tries. I think they have a limited amount of allowable connections and you need to grab one as someone drops off.

[Mr.Crimson]

my sentiments exactly

[null and void]

is there a support group for FR? ~ SoldiersGirl

Hey! I can quit any time I want to! ~ lorrainer

Me too! I've quit dozens of times...

[WKB]

Well, I'm female so the personal observation has escaped me but I've sure read a lot lately about how you men seem to be noticing :).

Duhe in Blue. I was beng more poetic than perverted.:>)
I jumped in at the last post which happened to be you.

[spodefly]

What do you all think of General Wesley Clark on CNN? I like him.

Wesley Clark is a POS Clintonista Democrat presidential wannabe ... when he is not bad mouthing the strategy for this war, he is reminiscing about his days as hillary's favorite general, and bombing the Chinese embassy by accident.

What do you all think of General Wesley Clark on CNN? I like him. But I have to say, my favorite "talking head" is that older gentleman on FNC... he has a very raspy voice, but he says some of the funniest things I have ever heard. Who is you all's favorite "talking head"?

Clark is a Clinton flunkie.

Col. Hunt just jerks around too much for me. He starts off on a thought and wham, he locks up. That and the huge pflegm ball he is coughing up just gags me.

Major Bob Bevalaqua is no BS and straight to the point. SF guy who knows both sides of the fighting.

[chigung]

Hmm... I didnt realize that.

[Armed Civilian]

Saw im with Tim Russert on mtp he has 2004 plans as a moddem

[Naspino]

Saw this on Command-Post.Org

British soldiers have to destroy letters and photos which they receive from home. The only details carried by the troops are identification card, ID discs, a medical card and dollars. . . . "It might seem harsh that we have to destroy the mail, but it is for a very good reason because if a soldier is captured he could be put under psychological pressure if an interrogator has personal photographs or a home address."

Then why do they allow CNN to spill into the background of the POW's and parade their friends and relatives on TV?

[Tree of Liberty]

Bah, that's bush-league stuff. They need to learn to use bras as water balloon launches and cellophane on the toilet seat.

[two23]

That is what he said, that he'd been awakened by shouting of gas gas gas.

I wonder if non-standard drills are used to see how they respond?

He IS in Recon (LAR), right? If they spotted iraqi's and drums, wouldn't it be a breach of intel for him to say something about it?

It's late here, I gotta hit it. Night y'all. Prayers for all of our troops--a shield of protection around them all and may they be given a Divine Force Multiplier.
