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

[militarypolicetom]

If you have listened to the CNN communist radio web casts over the last couple of days (our military site here in Korea blocks out most other media sites) they have Dennis with his sound bites and then they have Dianne Watson (House rep from LA County) telling us that we can just "Declare a Victory like we did in Vietnam and just bring our boys home" since this is a illegal war (in her mind).... It wouldn't be so bad but they cycle the same voice-overs every hour!!! Some of these caucuses....... and to think that JFK was a democrat and wasn't a wuss.... he is probably rolling in his grave over some of his democratic brethren

[Miss Marple]

Good morning, everyone!

Centcom briefer tells Fox it is important for all of the families of POW's and missing to know that they are doing everything they can to find them. Says from staff to General Franks to the President they are doing everything they can. "We don't leave our heroes behind."

[AppyPappy]

Irrelevant as long as Custer's not in charge.

[TomGuy]

I agree. I don't think it will be any more intense than Basra. The unknown, in my mind, is Chem/Bio.

Hopefully, the Iraqi generals will realize "it's over" and, if they use chem/bio, they will face tribunal afterward, so they refrain. Of course, Saddam, realizing his fate is determined (assuming he is still alive and issuing commands), would probably just as well destroy many millions of innocent citizens of Bagdad in a blazing finale.

Thaks again for your review

[johnb838]

Not same democratic party as in JFK's day. These are communists not. JFK would be a neocon.

[steveegg]

And the last I checked, Custer checked out better than 120 years ago.

[AppyPappy]

I'd watch ESPN for war coverage over CNN. Better dead than Red.

[Cboldt]

Chem Bio is scary even if we're protected.

Yes it is. I've been praying for a speedy, yet just resolution. So many innocents already lost, and many "good guys" lost already. I am glad we are determined to finish this, and to give the country back to the Iraqis. This war on terror is a serious, life & world-changing matter.

It would be soooo nice if just one little bomb hit that friggin statue in that square right on the nose!

I'll take a US Tank rolling down the road and crushing that statue

I got the Webcam up and waiting for it ..

God Bless our troops and keep them safe!

[steveegg]

Which cam has the Soddomite statue? I may want to tune in tomorrow.

[AppyPappy]

You can never be too careful.

I'm hoping for "hanky poppers" on our web cam! Can't you just see a sky full of paratroopers landing right in that traffic circle?!

[TomGuy]

Iy would be soooo nice if just one little bomb hit that friggin statue in that square right on the nose!

I am awaiting the day---coming very soon--that we'll see the citizens of Bagdad pull that Saddam statue down themselves. That will be as great a day for them as the East Germans seeing the Berlin Wall torn down. It will be a great day...liberation...freedom....and it's just days, maybe hours away....

[johnb838]

Well, they haven't been able to blow the oil fields or the dams. Or shoot scuds at Israel. Maybe they won't be able to launch the chem bio either. Saddam may not have trusted the fedayeen with the NBC stuff.

[AppyPappy]

Do you have sound? I get nothing on MSNBC cam.

[An.American.Expatriate]

Where are you in Korea?

[Timeout]

www.CBSnews.com....link to live webcam.

...telling us that we can just "Declare a Victory like we did in Vietnam and just bring our boys home" since this is a illegal war (in her mind)....

DemonRats are in meltdown! But the same soundbites over and over sets my teeth on edge, too.

Sky Guy at Kutter analyzed the CentCom briefing and characterized some of Gen. Brooks' comments as throw aways. WT*??? How did he read that into Vince's delivery. The mediots are CREATING news!

BUFFs taking off. And what does Sky Guy at the desk say? It's carrying bombs. We don't know if they'll be dropped on civilians or the RG.
