Good snipe. I have a number I'm sniping for today, but I won't tell you what it is.

[TigersEye]

Ha, what a lag that was. lol

[Lauratealeaf]

I think Ollie gets up around 5:30am local time but Rick L. not up yet.

Hope he is getting some rest. Hope they are all getting some rest.

Kirk: What about Ensign Zed?
McCoy: Zed's dead, honey! Zed's dead!

[TonyInOhio]

Centcom briefing from Gen. Renuart is going to be replayed at 8:46 EST on CSPAN. The cool audio briefing from Gen. Moseley ("we're not softening them up, we're killing them") follows at 9:55 EST.

FYI.

Neither FoxNews and MSNBC have shown the Bagdad live cam scene [and they have more feeds than we have]. I wonder whether all the feeds out of Badgad are "down" for the interim.

Capitalism wins: Ayn Rand smiles from grave.

[Green]

I just looked at his photo on Fox web site...is that a new photo of him? He still looks young in that photo.

[fiesti]

poor Rick. Last time I saw him they were stuck in mud and he wanted to be in Bagdad

[Timeout]

Well, I was over slumming at the Washington Post and they have a pretty good write-up of what Baghdad was like "the morning after". Intriguing, though, was THIS paragraph:

As fighting raged on the city's outskirts, the government managed to organize a noisy parade of police cars careening through downtown, their sirens blaring. They fired rifles in the air as they passed the Palestine Hotel, where most journalists are staying. But the streets they drove were deserted. [LINK FOR ARTICLE]

LOL! The Poleeeeze Parade made the front page of the WashPost!

And the Situation Room was there!

[brydic1]

I think doing medivac all day with severely injured and at least 1 or 2 dead young men would get to anyone.

[Miss Marple]

AND, we were there earlier!

It is interesting to know that most of the streets are deserted.

Chemical Ali is dead????

[ztiworoh]

One question: Are the urds muslim?? If so, Sunni or Shiite?

[ztiworoh]

Urds=kurds
