***Operation Iraqi Freedom - Situation Room - Day 14 - LIVE THREAD***

[oceanperch]

Greg Kelly back on Fox reporting with the 3rd Infantry.

Ollie and the Marines are up ahead of the Army 3RD Infantry.

Kelly at Level 2 Chem alert. Says no biggie.

3RD Infantry has more close air support than they know what to do with. (Hoo Yah)

Live shot of B52 over head in the Greg Kelly live feed.

East of Greg Kelly Marines crossed the Tigris and say they own the road to Baghdad. This is Ollie Norths group.

Carbola (sp) is where 3RD Infantry is now surrounding.

Me too, those are my hours, I rarely tell anyone, they look at me like I'm nuts!! Is that a statue of Saddam on the webcam? If so, our guys need to take that out with a smart bomb!

CNN, Tom Mintier, Doha, Qatar, 11 bodies of US soldiers recovered in same POW raid in or around hospital. May be bodies on earlier video.

Prayers for their families...

CENTCOM confirming. All US soldiers remains unclear. No names yet.

Temp. 84 degrees

Guess our guys want to get it over before Saturday, I heard it was supposed to be up over 100 by then.

I have a bad feeling about this.

MSNBC reports eleven bodies of POWs found.

Remember the numbers before were 5 POWs and 7 MIA ~ totals 12.

Now with Jessica found thats 5 POWs and 6 MIA. That adds up to 11.

The bodies of all Marines who died trying to save the 507th Crew were found days earlier.

Yes, it's a statue of him. Actually, it's a great resemblence on his current state - stone cold!

I know what you mean about "nuts"...come on folks, not everyone is a 9-5 worker or even have a job!

I've been a night owl since I was a kid. Since it never affected my grades, my parents didn't care. I even worked graveyard in college or late shifts.

[Fledermaus]

It's also sad that it was reported they lost 9 Marines in the rescue effort.

[spectr17]

Who will be the lucky EOD or engineer who lights the fuse on the charge to blow up Sodomy's stature in downtown Baghdad?

[oceanperch]

My hours too. People give ya the look.
I just say hey I work around the clock gotta sleep sometime.

I have been keeping these hours for twenty yrs. I literally nod off if I try to stay awake at nine or ten a.m.

That is the middle of the night to my body.

[Fledermaus]

Let's liberate BAG and let a citizen have the honors!

[spectr17]

Fair enough.

[Fledermaus]

How about Achmed Vila?

[oceanperch]

Yikes I could not do it with clothes on.

I live on the Oregon Coast so I am used to living in a cool enviroment.

I could not do what our guys have to put up with.

[spectr17]

He'll do.

[Fledermaus]

Rick Leventhal reported that their uniforms were "surprisingly comfortable" and acutally kept them from sweating.

What a lot of people don't understand (or don't care to) is how many technological advantages we've made in the last 20-25 years.

[spectr17]

Pinhead on CNN,

Watching news on war can result in information overload.

You should only read 1 newspaper, watch 1 TV show and listen to 1 radio program.

What? No FR?

[blondee123]

Thanks for the updates, tv is in other room, so I miss a lot if I'm on the puter..hope the air support has weakened them enough that our troops have an easy time of it!!

[Fledermaus]

I remember the idiots in the late 80's whining about the Apache Helicopter (will never work, too expensive), the A-1 Abrams tank (will never work, too expensive), the Bradley fighting vehicle (will never work, too expensive), the F-18, etc.
