Iraqi forces know that Basra is key..especially in regards to our supply route to the Baghdad advance, not to mention the humanitarian effort. They are shuffling troops from Baghdad and Basra has a strong fedayeen presence. The good news is that we control the air. Time to kick ass and make an example...Soon!

I thought by then the PCFs would have been heavily given to the VN Navy. They got all the new PCFs in'68 before I left. We used to get a good belly laugh because their boats ALWAYS were listing at their dock. It was pathetic.

I snuck onto one of their larger patrol boats once after a beer bash at the end of the little air base near the lagoon to steal a case of what I thought was wine. It was that disgusting fish sauce they make there out of rotted fish guts. Boy!!!! Did we have a suprise when we got back to the flotilla! Took me 3 days to get the taste out of my mouth. All they used the patrol boats there that I could see was to black market to who knows where. That damned crud is known worldwide to this day by VNs all over the world.

Gettin' off message here. Getting into the old sea stories. Let's contact thru FReep-mail.

MSNBC,

Predator destroyed missle launcher with Hellfire missle that they think was responsible for some of the Kuwait missle attacks last night.

DOD says 3 Predators lost so far, cost is 40 million each.

Fox - Baghdad Bob claiming they've shot down ANOTHER apache, killing both aboard

[Tree of Liberty]

The Fox anchor reported that Baghdad Bob said both the pilot and gunner were killed in the ostensible shoot-down

[InShanghai]

Fox - Baghdad Bob claiming they've shot down ANOTHER apache, killing both aboard

He also said in Basara the townspeople destroyed 3 tanks. Isn't CNN going to do a follow up on any of this?

Not again! Like I said last nite, they need to shut this guy up, the more he spews his lies, the more the other ME countries are incited to join Iraq!

Fox - Baghdad Bob says apache "exploded" over central Iraq

[Pro-Bush]

Smile ;)

...Your right about the Monica hat.

You got that right, NK will be looking at this & thinking we are not capable of destroying anyone. Truth is we could have made Iraq a parking lot in two days, maybe we should have!

They did the same thing in Gwar1,then declared victory after being chased out of Kuwait.There's a good article about this in the NYPost.(No reports of any missing helo)

[Tree of Liberty]

Fox - Pentagon states that there are no reports of any downed aircraft in Iraq

Keep in mind that if they show debris, it might be from the apache that took a hard landing earlier this week (from which they captured the pilot and gunner), which was eventually destroyed by an allied missile strike in order to prevent sensitive hardware to fall into enemy hands.

KIM Chong-il is a crazy man. Assisination or surgical srike to take him out, along with hitting his nuke processing plants should solve the problem...To think of the alternative would be devistating. He would Nuke S. Korea..Then we would make N. Korea a glass parking lot. When I first went hunting at 11 years old and killed a duck... I felt terrible, but very proud.
