Pentagon even tuned in to it... (IT WAS AMAZING, if you ask me - some of the best real life happenings I have heard on TV)

[unspun]

There's an airfield near Al Kut and they may be after that if they haven't captured it alredy.<

Don't tell Richie Daley. He'll want to rip it up in the dead of night, so he can put up a casino.

I am spent!

God Bless our Troops .. THEY ARE THE BEST!!!

Hi All.... missed being here since about 4..

Just been catching up on this and day 14 posts (didn't get all of 14)..Belly Girl vs Jessica, helo down, Al Jaze out..

This last bit was excitng. No TV - cable or sat dish - for me but what I have read Arnot is a jewel -

[GOPyouth]

I could have sworn he said "our", but I guess the main thing I didn't like was that it was reported on air what we were doing to do. He could have said "their" wounds. The talking has been so fast it's been easy to misunderstand what htey are saying.

[MEG33]

I am corrected!

[JLS]

Iraqi TV showing was they claim is the F-18 now showing on Fox.

[texxie]

long as they aren't giving out tactical info it's ok

[rolling_stone]

Arnott asked if it was ok to put it out live ..but the first statement was already out....the mic was open....in the heat of battle is a little different IMO than Geraldo finger painting..

[estjohn]

There was that moment of dead space after the first statement... I imagined the officer mouthing words to Arnot "is this LIVE?"

[GOPyouth]

Right on. Thanks

[spectr17]

hello

[Diddle E. Squat]

Yep, that was my impression, too.

[Grenada]

Iraqi TV(per FNC) says 11 dead from f-18 crash. UM, don't the f-18's only carry one or two?

[Mo1]

LOL .. You read that article too huh?

[GAGOPSWEEPTOVICTORY]

I love the war dance they do after they shoot something down. Always when the TV is turned on of course. A blind squirrel finds an acorn every once in a while.

Any new news on the pilot?

[SoldiersGirl]

well I see it one of two ways. The Colonel got on the phone and said they were pulling back, mission accomplished...so either he felt it was okay to say that, or he was making a statement because Arnot had already said it, and he didn't want it to come out misconstrued?

[null and void]

understand what? sorry, I started typing and missed a few posts.....

Compare your post #374 and my post # 376.

[spectr17]

Yeah, he did pause a bit. I'm sure they are all watching what they say now or they'll end up in the rear.
