"The thinking is that this would be a costly battle and with the fall of Baghdad, there might be another way to get these [Iraqi] troops to surrender," an intelligence source said.

Yeah, just tell them Saddam is dead and Baghdad fell. Like the Iraqis up on Mosul, they probably don't know it yet.

Careful, you are interrupting our chir-chat with real news.

Not series.

Mosul down, Kirkuk next, when do we move on Damascus?

Change is coming in that region and many are not happy about it. They are the ones with deep ties to the French and the Democratic Leadership committee.

Fox News reports 11 shipping containers of posible chemical weapons unearthed near Karbala by US forces. UN inspectors looked at the site on Feb 23 but didn't find anything. Go figure.

Thanks for the ping & good morning

Did you see monica Crowley on FOX earlier? She was saying that the russians are trying to help scientists and Iraqi officials get out of Iraq. She also said that the Russians built what's under al Tuwaitha.

Yes, I saw part of it. I just got up. What I don't understand is that some are saying that the suspected plutonium has UN seals on it. If it was found underground and the UN was unaware that anything was underground then how does the UN know what is inside and sealed? Maybe the Iraqis faked the seals. Sounds like the UN, France and Russia all knew what was really going on there.

Mosul down, Kirkuk next,

Per FoxNews, Kirkuk is in Coalition hands.

Perhaps Anan should read todays NYT and see how CNN kept certain aspects of Saddams rule to themselves.

I saw the headline for that thread, but haven't read it yet....guess I'm going to have to.....CNN is very sick.

Need to get ready for work....hope you all have a good day. Meet you all, later.

Is there a way to download all these messages? I would like to save them all from the first day of the war?

[AppyPappy]

I think they meant Tikrit

It is a must read. wait until after breakfast and move all heavy objects out of reach.

[AppyPappy]

John can probably create a CD of them after the war.

[nicmarlo]

move all heavy objects out of reach

That bad, huh?

I just sent a copy of it to two friends of mine that host a Sunday morning show on WABC radio.

[TomGuy]

Amazing. As Iraqi cities come into Coalition hands, the amount of profuse sweating...errrrr...perspiring has drastic increased in Paris, Berlin, Moscow. It's gonna be funny listening to them 'splain. Perhaps they are in a mad dash to hire Bagdad Bob as their spokesman.

CNN is playing victim now. You should have seen CNN International after 911. They took the Arab side constantly. Anything they say now is not believable to me.

[Air Force Born]

Just when you think CNN cant get any worse, they prove they have the moral clarity of a septic tank. No, that is an insult to septic tanks.

[LouisianaJoanof Arc]

I hope so!!!

I've been saving threads to my hard drive since the first day and burning them to a CD at the end of each week.

Most of our boys got to shower in Saddam's palace!

Do you think they found the secret rooms where Saddam kept all the Virgins?

A serious question for a moment though: I'm too foggy to remember my history. What historical leader was it that was thought to have, or known to have syphilis? (Makes you go mad towards the end... ala Saddam?)
