Yeah, I don't think China or Japan are gonna be on the opposite side of us. But, this is info from a military soldier. He must know more than us... Still, I do doubt... But, man, you never know.

If anything China and definatly japan is on our side.

I'll have to talk to Danielle and ask her else he can give her.Yes,Master,it is the 'loose' one with the 'ham sandwich' .Do you even remember that lil convo?

Man, that's something, huh? I mean, I know if I were to hear thunder, I'd be tripping, man. Look at how this war is getting us all?

Unfortunately, I think so. O_O

If China or Japan is doing anything, they are talking to North Korea and telling them to shut up and be just alittle nicer!
Now if others would just learn that same lesson!

On a lighter note (thanks for gettin' me started, C.D.), MY FAVORITE LOCAL RADIO STATION made a suggestion for what sounds like a great drinking game:

Watch the news coverage (any station) and every time you hear one of the following words or phrases, slam down a shot of your favorite drink:

"embedded" (as in, "embedded journalists")
"shock and awe" (or just one of the words)
"decapitated"

Within an hour, I'll bet you'll be sh*t-faced!

It was confirmed that one of the Marines killed in the helicopter crash was from Baltimore. Kendall Waters-bey grew up in North East Baltimore. While I in no way knew him, the sights of flags lowered to half mast here in his honor makes me proud. My heart and prayers go out to his family.

sure would be a big shot in the arm for the bar business....don't you get sick of them using the same old phrase over and over again...

talk about streching this war thing for hours at a time...This is channel 5 news- All War, All the time!

Sad to say we'll be seeing those half mast flags all over the country.

For once SC, I hope you are wrong! Let us hope most come home as soon as possible. The sooner they get the job done the faster they can come home.

but on a lighter note....

Triple A (AAA) reports that hotel prices in downtown Baghdad are at an all time low! Vacation packages for all price levels.

Thanks for the link (to the radio station's web page), Snake! The "Babe of the Day" section made me forget the war for a little while

I'll bet the "Presidential" suites are vacant.

Yes, and room service is really, really slow! But what the hell, you don't have to tip big....

Cam, you're a riot! On a roll tonight, huh?

problem is the wake up calls are a little loud!

I have been wondering if Saddam is actually alive or dead.

Watch, we think we are kicking ass, but wait until the ground troops get to Baghdad, thats when it'll get hard. They are hiding there underground probable. Why would we get this far with hardly any resistance? Its a trick to get our egos going while Saddam sticks his d!ck up our asses.

I agree with you DV as far as things seem to be going very "smoothly". God, could we possibly have been so lucky to get Sadam first try??? That would be "great". However, I fear too, that the other shoe has yet to drop. Hope I'm wrong tho. I don't know where they'd be or where they'd be hiding or if we actually pulled it off??? Just don't want us to let our guard down!

I don't war but I think that Saddam brought it on himself. I hate the critism that the other lesser countries abopted, especially those who we give money and goods.

Exactly DK, new rule, if we suport you with food and $$, and you don't think highly of us or think we are butchers for this war, guess what? Cut off the aid and let you starve you ungreatful bastards.

Man, we think all this bomb dropping on TV is bad? Wait until they start to hit back. It's gonna be hell over there in Baghdad. I just hope they don't take the war over to American soil. That's the last thing we need is bombs being dropped over here. This is only the very beginning. Only bad is ahead.

I don't remember which poster commented about being "manipulated" and perhaps that's not the right word, but I was thinking. What ever happened to Al Quida/Bin Laden? I tend to now think of Iraq/Bin Laden as one in the same???? When did that happen?

My question is perhaps while we are getting Sadam, what if Bin Laden has many of his men are in America setting us all up now, while we are distracted??? I am not closed minded to others opinions and am willing to consider them, but isn't that a logical question???? We could get one monster only to be attacked by another!

TIS

Notice Iran isn't letting us use their land. Turkey is on their last nerve with us. One thing thats weird, in the 70's, during the Iran/Iraq war, we offered to help Iraq, but we sold weapons to Iran! Every country stabs another every once in a while.

I was against this war from the beginning and now that it is underway I hope and pray that very few civilians are killed. It is a shame that inspections were not given more time and diplomacy was not given more of a chance. Hopefully the war will be over very soon and the process of rebuilding Iraq can begin.

No offence to anyone, but i have noticed the majority of antiwar people are Mid Easterns or people who dont live in America. Just somethin i noticd, i am not being racist. Also, watch, in two to three days, there will be a big bloodbath. Our soldiers are tired of the fighting and walking, by time they get to Baghdad, Saddam's regime will pop out of hiding [think of the bomb shelters Saddam probably has] and attack our tired men and we will be heavily hurt. I bet theres a 90% chance Bush will not be reelected.

wake up!
