You don't have TV????

(Hope you left your VCR taping)

We're seeing COLUMNS of armored vehicles, Abrams...all of it! Rolling up the road with Baghdad on the horizon! Burning Iraqi tanks, burned out emplacements, there's even a poor dead Iraqi soldier lying in the middle of the highway.

I'm bugeyed!

I have a moonraker antenna and six channels, none of which carry The War (Dharma and Greg re-runs are on as we speak).

I've dispatched the carrier pigeons, but I think they're lost.

However, the lack of TV allows me to scan other posts:

WASHINGTON (AP) - Undeterred by a defeat in committee, a Republican congressman is pushing ahead with a plan intended to prevent French and German companies from getting U.S. contracts to rebuild Iraq.

The proposal failed in a 35-27 vote in the House Appropriations Committee on Tuesday, but Rep. George Nethercutt, R-Wash., prevailed in the full House.

Nethercutt offered an amendment, to an emergency war-spending bill, that would bar any rebuilding funds from going to businesses based in a country that "publicly expressed" opposition to the war. His amendment was approved on a voice vote before the House adopted the overall bill Thursday night.

To give the president some flexibility, Nethercutt's measure says contracts should be awarded "where possible" to companies from nations that have aided the United States in Iraq. The president could waive the ban if it hurts American jobs.

"The coalition of the unwilling should not participate in reconstruction with U.S. tax dollars," Nethercutt said.
