[Diddle E. Squat]

Oh if only this press conference had been on a weekday evening. With all the media hype and buildup to it, it would have been great for a much larger national audience to see the press reveal their true cynical, acidic, vulture nature in its clearest manifestation. What total scum. The family was setup, first getting them to say how happy they were, them dropping the bad news, as if to say they should feel guilty.

The reporter deserves a punch in the nose. I want the scum's name, his heartless act should forever dog him.

[two23]

Mr and Mrs Lynch didn't know that the other MIA'a were found and classified KIA. Cruel for the press to hit the Lynch family with that, but as far as I'm concerned, Mr Lynch's response was the most humble moment of this whole war. God Bless them.

[Green]

I think that is the viper's nest. The regime and thugs from the north that haven't been killed are retreating back to Tikrit. The ones that haven't gone south out of Baghdad have to go north to Tikrit.

Then we go in and clean house.

[prairiebreeze]

MSNBC saying the 101st has taken Karbala

Don't know if that's been heard or not yet here

[A. Morgan]

The reporter who asked that stupid question of Jesse's dad...let's find out who what that guy's name is. I feel everybody what his name is!

[Mo1]

Does anyone besides me feel that we're saving Tikrit for last.....like we know something...it's the only city that hasn't been touched.....it's Saddam's crib....yet we're ignoring it so far

Where are the Kurds?

[don-o]

My God, My God, why did they ask her dad that question? Did they want to destroy him? B*ASTARDS.

Agreed. But, why did he not know?

Surely there is an Army liason attached to the family. ISTM that would be part of his job.

I am as interested in all the details as the next person, but I have to wonder why the Lynch family even agreed to appear before the pack of hyenas.

[ken5050]

I think so..after all, Byrd's been in power longer than Saddam

[Green]

I want to know his name too. Fox wasn't showing the reporters though, only the podium so I have no idea who it was.

[ztiworoh]

Woohoo Flashes on the Bag cam

And Booms

[Redcloak]

We need something that sets off the car alarms.

[ken5050]

Still up farther north, near Mosul.....that's the Kurds aim..because that's where the money is....

[MEG33]

Baghdad Bob says they have every thing under control.

WE SAW IT 500 TIMES!!! >>



For those just joining us, Buckwheat has been shot, let's look again at the videotape

[Green]

They have given me the impression that they are genuinely good people living in a very small rural community.

They most likely are not very aware of what vultures most of the pressers are at these briefings.

[Catspaw]

Agreed. But, why did he not know?

Yeah, it's his fault.

Surely there is an Army liason attached to the family. ISTM that would be part of his job.

Yeah, it's the Army's fault.

I am as interested in all the details as the next person, but I have to wonder why the Lynch family even agreed to appear before the pack of hyenas.

The governor of West Virginia was with them. Get inbetween a politician and a camera and you risk being trampled to death.

[null and void]

As satisfyiing as that is, I'd much prefer if the Iraqi people were doing that for themselves.

[don-o]

I want to know his name too. Fox wasn't showing the reporters though, only the podium so I have no idea who it was.

Time to hit the e-mails to Fox.

Conveniently located at the head of the thread, I believe. Back later
