NBC NEWS: UDAY & Qusay Hussein "Likely" Captured Or Killed

MSNBC Live | 07-22-03

Col. Hunt is on Fox (Now it really does feel like the "old days" of the Bagcam).

Did someone say Bagcam? <VBG>

His sources say it is the sons and he is praising the execution of the mission and says they are most likely close to finding Saddam.

I trust that they're sparing no technique in getting this info.

For the cubicle bound: DNA tests being conducted now. FOX's Steve Centanni has exclusive video of the house interior; four bodies taken out - total wreckage inside; one American injured, reported okay.

Paraphrasing General: proud of the discipline used by the troops,larger helicopters. Host of variety of helicopters (Apache) and weapons we didn't use; just used weapons on the ground.

I think the Colnel may be disappointed then....

[Chemist_Geek]

I sure hope that the people letting off "happy fire" in Baghdad know what they're opening themselves to from our guys...

And I sure hope that our guys know that the wolves may be hiding amongst the "happy fire"...

[Darksheare]

Yeah.
The videos they showed us during in processing would have made any liberal in existence either crap his knickers or implode.

My hat's off to the guys overseas.

I remember we had a guy in our platoon, he was 4 foot 8 or so, right at the cutoff height.
I was also told he was the shortest man in ALL of field artillery. I was told that at that point, I was the THIRD shortest.
(I stand 5 foot 5. Made for some interesting jokes.)

Got Saddam? Sound the alarm. The Dims are gonna be
sucking up purple kool-aid like it was 180 proof Scotch.

[steveegg]

The Dims are gonna be sucking up purple kool-aid like it was 180 proof Scotch.

(In my worst Swimmer Kennedy voice):Ah, wheye is mah favooriit Scotch puhple? Ahnd dhat doesn't taste like it haas 90 pehrsent alchohol iin iit.

The Dims are gonna be sucking up purple kool-aid like it was 180 proof Scotch.

That, dear heart, is a classic line. Love the ambulance logo to go along. This is such a hoot.

[Darksheare]

Ouch!
Atomic Annie still sits in her 'berth' at the on post museum last I knew.
I was on pass for a few hours and went out to wander the grounds of the museum.
I looked over my shoulders and saw no-one arund, so I stepped over the plastic chain and ran my hand down the carraige.
After drooling for a few seconds, I heard a chuckle behind me.
Two brass collars were standing there eyeballing me.
They asked me what it was like to be that close to the old howitzer.

I gave them my "MMMm Power!" statement.

My home unit had a problem with out of safe shots one fine day, FDC kept giving us data, and couldn't figure out why the heck we were out.
Seems the Range FO was reading the wrong data off to us.
(We weren't getting data from our FO's, they were out doing 'real' training that day. Figures.)

Once we got back in the groove, we had a bunch of rounds turn dud on us.
Bad fuzes, all made in 1950's or so.
So we had to stop, count fuzes, find lot numbers, and then switch them out.
Meanwhile, my guncrew and I are asking the section chief, "Chief, we goin' to jail yet?"

He told us of horror stories from a range in connecticut. Seems the round hit a bridge right after the post CO drove over the bridge.
I always chalked that story as a soldier story.
'Course, there was one guy I know who got his right kneee in the way of the breech of the M119A1 while it was firing. He went flying for about 10 or more feet outside the trails.

I also remember them having us load and fire a Do Not Load mission.
I'm surprised that we didn't get ushered into the basement suite at Leavenworth.
That was 1998, and our new Cap was having us do 24 hour continuous operations without sleep for three days straight. And, that was the last time we did 24 hour ops.

But, NOTHING beats what you mentioned.
Landing something in Lawton at the corner of Sheridan and Gore is impressive.
Just not in the way anyone wants to be impressive at!

I was glad quite a few times that I wasn't in charge of anything like that.

What Teddy sees in the mirror after he's had a few.

[MEGoody]

"Perhaps the press is deliberately "overplaying" this story"

The liberal media, er, objective press would NEVER do such a thing!

[BlessedByLiberty]

I don't know, Jabba's color is a little better and his skin less slimey...but it is close.

[Liz]

I think we oughta invest heavily in companies that mfg purple kool aid.
Might as well make a few bucks on the suicidal Dims while we're at it.

[Liz]

LOL....that was the best I could do on such short notice. LOL.

[Semper Paratus]

What Teddy sees in the mirror after he's had a few.

I think the Tedster would more resemble "Pizza the Hut".

[steveegg]

Live CentCom briefing NOW!!! Uday's and Qusay's deaths ARE CONFIRMED!!!!!!!!

[debg]

confirmed - they are dead!

[Liz]

I think the Tedster would more resemble "Pizza the Hut".

LOL....priceless....of course there's always a supersize "McTeddy."

[Peach]

CONFIRMED DEAD. YEAH!!!

[freeperfromnj]

Both FOX and MSNBC now reporting that the celebration in Baghdad has begun

That's a sharp contrast to ABC. They are running two sappy bios of the evil brothers. One called "The Dedicated Son" the other called "Troubled Firstborn".
