Our telling them. We've got M-1 tanks coming up. They're on a 2 land road leading into the city. 150 feet from buildings 500 feet long without windows, where R. Guard is holed up. More marines coming up... The RG's will be toast in a few minutes.

[Grenada]

[GOPyouth]

I'm not digging this reporter asking the soldier questions. This last guy didn't seem like he wanted to be stopping for a damned interview.

[knak]

[Mo1]

Reporter on MSNBC: These Iraqis have a tremendous will to fight. They will not surrender

Oh ok .. I was wrong .. Arnot is talking really fast

[Cultural Jihad]

They are the RG, those half a percent of the population who want Saddam to stay in power.

[sorrisi]

OK, sorry, glad you explained that. I lived in Italy for 10 years and I have known lots of foreigners in the US. My grandparents LEFT Italy to come here so they could make a life. I am more ashamed of the fake peaceniks. And they are American! They just don't understand what privileges they have and how they could lose them.
