Wasn't the media was warned weeks ago to leave Baghdad?.

Yup.

[umbagi]

there was a pic on DU last night of a whole line of naked British troopers taking a shower.

The Hiney Line was NOT a DU exclusive... They probably stole it from FR; it was posted here, and I don't think it got yanked.

See what you're missing by not staying up all night?

[bootyist-monk]

I didn't see Shep say it. I was responding to what I had seen posted. I'll take your word for it and I stand corrected.

Bootyist

They don't need to know what is sounds like. Their opiticals show them what it looks like. They can practically see through walls.

That's what he said. Take EVERYTHING that guy says with a grain of salt though (if he says the sky's blue, look out a window to make sure). He writes for The Nation, I believe.

Oh I know who he is .. just wanted to make sure I heard him correctly ...

Thanks

Just like the Newsday guy telling Brian on Fox that it just means more to us because........"he is one of our own." Think about that. Aren't our soldiers SUPPOSE TO BE THAT?
I consider all soldiers one of my own.

Did the Dixie Shix win anything last night?

A massive amount of boos from the audience the moment their name was mentioned ... and nothing else. A total shutout.

Any one notice the footage of one of the reporters who was killed? Showed him hiding on the balcony by the camera behind a stack of sand bags.

If I'm a tank gunner 400 yards away and I see lens glare behind a pile of sand bags, I'M GONNA SHOOT AT IT!!!

Odd you should say that...most going from right to left are slumped and those going from left to right are straight up and scanning the area. Not as many of them now as there was earlier though.

"I'm about 50 posts behind... tried to trim my fingernail with a hammer earlier. ;-)

Try using a chisel next time. 8<)

[stumpy]

Tomorrow, I will make a "small" purchase at my local Seer's store and inform the salesperson to inform his manager that my purchase is to let CORPORATE management that I approve and APPRECIATE what the management is doing for LOAYAL Americans.

Craving a coke.. store run. heh heh ;) brb

[Fledermaus]

Yes, many booos! Local talk show host guy went. They boooed every time they were mentioned.

But according to a lot of callers, CMT cut them out and put in canned applause on the replay. And they've replayed it many times since last night.

Sort of like the VH-1 in NY when they booed Hillary!

[rolling_stone]

Excellent point...now all we need is for someunbiased journalists to point that out...send it to Fox news...let them report it and we can decide!!!!

[thatdewd]

The Hiney Line was NOT a DU exclusive... They probably stole it from FR

LOL, that's a lot better name than "naked butt pic". At least on FR, you know it was the women who were enjoying it.

[Prince Charles]

Hey, that's good advice! ;-)

[thedugal]

perhaps next time the US will offer each reporter his own personal Patriot missile. bunch of mealy mouthed pukes. they act all tough and courageous "Live from Baghdad" with their stupid little quotes "The thunder of B52s above us and the blaze of ackack fire in air.." and then they cry like a bunch of sissies when one tank shell hits the edge of their hotel. And the tank shell wasn't even the explosive tipped kind. It's bad enough that they are Saddomite sympathizers, but it's impossible to stomach their self-import.

[umbagi]

you gals would've liked that one.

Here ya go:-)
