He's at least bisexual. My wife swears he's too good-looking to be straight. But it doesn't matter. It's his business.

"Kurdish fighters are firing into the air to celebrate their victory."

Someone has GOT to teach these people that what goes up must come down. Also, that it's not easy to tell where the incoming sniper fire is coming from when everyone next to you is shooting into the sky. Can't we teach them another way to celebrate? Let's throw out some NON-VIOLENT ways of celebrating:

Everyone do 'The Wave'
Get Drunk
Break Dance
Blow soap bubbles
Shoot Water Pistols
High Five
Chest-butt like Frat boys
Standing Ovations
Sing the Iraqi National Anthem

Other suggestions??

Question about a fight at Al-Kym area.....possible missile site..

[mware]

Good Morning Jim,

Did you get the package???

[Dog]

It is the fight at the mosque.....the fight is over they killed or captured the enemy forces there..

[epluribus_2]

agreed!

So did anyone start their day with grimfaced CNN anchors talking about "Significant Casualties in Baghdad Overnight" while "US attack on Mosque: No Government Leaders Captured".

They will never change. NEVER. CNN coverage is so slanted that the anchors' MINDERS have more control than Saddam ever did. Attack on Mosque. No context. SHEEESH! Guess they have to fill in for Al Jazzeera during the off-hours. Just what we need, arab street thinking we intentionally target mosques, now that we've finished off the reporters.

Gen. Renuart: preventive medicine...fight in Baghdad--as you see the city shed the bonds of the regime, that has brought to life leads....these people have been held in terror...not all leads current or accurate...resolved firefight...we will have a number of these reports...take each of them in, evaluate...use of Spec Ops.

at least they are asking the right people (not DeVillPAIN)

It's real interesting how many Iraqi exiles they interviewed yesterday who urged for an Iraqi government.

Have they been paying attention to the Prez and company? I don't think the Prez could've made it any clearer in Belfast: "The Iraqis are capable of running Iraq."

Al Jazeera asks two questions:

What are your military plans for Tikrit? Please give me exact details, because I need to go call Saddam and let him know.

Also, several months before this war started, the Iraqi Govt let a bunch of "criminals" out of prison. It now seems that these criminals are doing a bunch of looting, and innocent civilians are uncomfortable. What are you going to do about these criminals that the Iraqi Govt set free before you were even here?

(Again, it's all our fault.)

LOL

Turkey thinks it's their bidness because they don't want the Kurds to have control over some of the oil fields. They'd rather have the Kurds poor & starving.

[The Wizard]

good morning, all

[Carolina]

Well, Tom Mintier asking an interesting question: Sec of State has demonstrated ability to intercept communications. Have you been able to intercept any more?

Gen. Renuart: not going to comment too much.

[epluribus_2]

and an oil-rich Kurdistan would be wealthier than Turkiye.

Good morning! We've taken Kirkuk. Sky is showing footage of northern action.
