Keep your armor on!

... and don't go where no troops have gone before! Posthumous Pulitzers just aren't worth it...

That one really fizzled on CNN, too. Middle of the night, Sunday morning, only a hundred or so Freepers watching it. Then the POWs recovery and the firefight eclipsed it all day.

Six pairs of boots, weapons, helmets and night-vision goggles

A sad, sad picture...

So nigh is grandeur to our dust,
So near is God to man,
When Duty whispers low, Thou must,
The youth replies, I can!

I don't get Fox in the highly demoncratic area where I live. Cable company says not enough demand for it here. So keep those of us posted who don't get FNC.

Saw Rummy on Meet The Depressed tonight. As always, he handles them well :) They tried to trap him on the "Cuba" question. "So why don't you go after Cuba. Those people need to be liberated too, don't they".
I don't think he was expecting that question. But he came back after an uncomfortable pause and said if Cuba became a threat, then it would be in our interest to do something.

Fox: More al-Jazeera video from Tikrit

Fox: Apaches flying over Tikrit

It's after midnight already????

MSNBC: Some pinhead in London, interviewed on al-Jazeera, says that we used small nukes at Baghdad airport and killed thousands of Iraqis.

Marine Cobras, I believe... They bad, too.

That ought to bring some Iranians and Syrians to the edges of their chairs!

[The Hon. Galahad Threepwood]

Ah.

Brian Wilson said Apaches.

[The Hon. Galahad Threepwood]

That's true. On balance, maybe it's better al-Jazeera's viewers believe it.

[Mo1]

WOW ... what is with all the bumper to bumper traffic on the bagdad cam?

MSNBC: Some pinhead in London, interviewed on al-Jazeera, says that we used small nukes at Baghdad airport and killed thousands of Iraqis.

Baghdad Bob says, "The nukes fell on the Americans. They are killing themselves with nukes at the airport. Now they are running away".

[umbagi]

Yeah, I TiVoed back -- he did say "Apache gunships." All they showed, though, were AH-1Ws, Marine Corps Super Cobras. There could be some Army up there, but I haven't heard of them.

[umbagi]

"Now they are running away".

... from the monster grasshoppers their nuk-u-lar fallout is creating!

w/ apologies to "The Beginning of the End" :-).

play-by-play on the 25 thread, of the whole two hours of the firefight!

Thanks for the heads up. What a time!
