I just love on MSNBC when they go to commercial break and show one of our soldiers teaching the Iraqi children to sing. "Yeah Boy!" "Yeah Boy!" I want to get this on tape.

MSNBC has been doing a great job at their video presentations, especially the longer ones that combine audio clips from the president, Rummy, the v.p., and such. I emailed them my compliments this morning.

I'm sure others saw the footage MSNBC aired today of fighting that was taped Monday. It is edited, but is more breathtaking footage.

My question: The guy who taped it was NBC's Craig White. Was he the camerman for David Bloom?

[dfwgator]

This stupid reporter asked if there was a 1-800 number for the Iraqis to call if they wanted to surrender........OMG!!!

Our French-trained surrender experts are standing by.

[Jackie-O]

No blame intended, kit, I'm having a blast!!

[Dog]

Yes he was.....look at the footage again when they show it .....I recognize the vehicle Bloom rode in in the scene.

[Damocles]

The Iraqis need to be patient. There is still active fighting in the city.

This is the dreaded transition period from combat fighting to peace keeping. It's hard to throw the switch but it will be done.

[Mrs.Liberty]

who was the dumba$$ who asked that question?

[Lauratealeaf]

Six degrees of separation. Every thing is related to Star Trek...everything. lol

That is so true! My husband used to watch Star Trek and our oldest daughter despised it! One day when she was in college she went to a garage sale and bought a teeshirt that she thought was cute. She wore it when she came home and my husband roared in laughter at her. It had a Star Trek logo on it and she didn't realize it.

Believe it or not, PRETTY CHICKEN, who speaks Arabic, did just this today.

Well knock me over with a feather. He done good with that interview. Now if we can just get our domestic journalists embedded in the White House to get off their heiny and dig up stories...I won't hold my breath.

[Miss Marple]

Fox is now reporting (per Major Garrett) that TWO field tests confirm. They are being very careful and using the words "might" when reporting this. Tori didn't have any definite information in the presser, but Major is getting info from other places in the Pentagon that are currently working on this.

[epluribus_2]

I bet they ship that in plain brown wrapping paper.

[Aaron0617]

HA HA...CNN showing pics of Iraqis raiding Terrik Aziz's house. OH NO..its Christiane Ammoupour and she's smiling.

With all the ambush attacks on our servicemen today, no surpise. Got to turn away from CNN.

[Dog]

Not sure but I've heard him before ask a dumb question....this one got the reporters laughing.

[BagCamAddict]

Unfortunately, All our Wankers are belong to us also.

[Carolina]

That wins the the prize......hands down.

Who asked the question????

[retrokitten]

Wow this list is getting really long!

It's kind of like that game boggle. LOL!

Steyn: "Coalition of the Willing To Go On Selling Saddam Nuclear Reactors In Exchange For Oil Concessions For Another Decade Or Three No Matter How Many People He Kills."

[dfwgator]

EPW: Oh, gee, I would have surrendered instead of tossing that grenade at you if you would have only had a 1-800 number for me to call... ROFL.

"Hello and welcome to the Coalition Surrender Hot Line. To Surrender, please press 1. To alert the coalition of the location of Weapons of Mass Destruction press 2. If you wish to launch a suicide attack, please stay on the line, and a representative from the coalition will be meeting with you personally very soon."

[Lauratealeaf]

Great report!
