I am so glad that is back up! - I caught it a few days ago and the site went down. Very good mood to end the night on! Good night! And thanks!

You're so welcome, HOTDog! Good night!! (Jen, see #41 for a lift...maybe you've already seen it too, but I know I'll watch it a few times while all this is going on.)

After actually seeing the evil of the Saddam regime for the last few days, as opposed to hearing of it and reading of it, I have ceased from praying to God to aid our arms.

I have instead been praying that God Himself will come to the battlefield and fight for us.

God is a Man of War. Join me in asking for him to fight this righteous fight for us.

The Screaming Eagles do more before 9am of the first day of their 4-6 day operational pause than the United Nations does in 12 years.

Our own press calls them "baby killers."

Why shouldn't they? They are just quoting congressman Rangel?

Medina is toast; Medina will mix with other RG divisions in the hereafter. This war is an absolute rout.

I agree. The "Funky Dead Medina" is toast. I have a feeling that the press is still understating just how much of a rout this has been. Anybody with an understanding of just how awesome our military firepower is knows that we have the situation well in hand despite what the hand-wringers in the media might be saying. Being in the Marines, I know firsthand just how incredible our military power is and also our ability to move supplies. I remember participating in Operation Gallant Eagle back in the 1980s in the Mojave desert. We had convoys 15 miles long out there in that desert and this was just "practice."

Just wait until the 4th Infantry Division gets into place. They take high-tech to the next level. You got scores of Abrams tanks, Bradley armoured vehicles, Apache helicopters and mobile rocket launchers all networked together so that they see the same battlefield in real time, allowing them to act as a single massive weapon. I read an article on them (wish I could find it and link it for you) that just blew my mind.

You think maybe? Hahahaha, most of the reporting is not only understated, it is negative. "broken supply lines" "unexpected resistance" "change of plan in face of unexpected resistance" "casualties" "civilian casualties" etc etc etc. ABC=Aljazeera Broadcasting Corp.

If Baghdad "falls" before the 4 ID is in the area, it'll really be something. Then the press will complain that we sent too much to theatre!

Thank you for your service SamAdams76.

No, forty launches and forty hits isn't "awesome", it's "Hellfire". Those aircraft are carrying Hellfire and Longbow/Hellfire missiles.
