Suddenly an image has formed in my mind, with this bomb screaming down with a blade in his hands.

Sort of the bullets from "Roger Rabbit"

I thought I heard that too, but I think it was F17's is what he said..

The true age of Ted Koppel and that other guy, talking about the lip mic..

And there was this guy talking about what they just passed and then goes (While a Lt.Col stands next to him) well, well Im not allowed to talk about that..

Most idiotic statement was made during an interview of a former British diplomat who had lived for many years in Iraq.

"The U.S. is interfering with the sovereignty of a foreign nation and the right of its people to choose their own form of government."

I could only shake my head in amusement.

That merely confirmed my impression that much of the opposition to the invasion is based on deep-seated, anti-American sentiment. A sentiment that was, in his case, personal and not representative of the nation that he comes from. A sentiment that was reinforced by his long residence in a country where he was subjected to the subtle, and not so subtle, propaganda of Saddam's regime.

As the Bible says, "There are none so blind as those that will not see."

What's even more impressive is that they came from Lakenheath. I never saw them at all (not to mention we don't have the ramp space to support buffs). The buffs were at RAF Fairford.

Also, found this little gem on Sky News website:

Capt. Bergen said he was not aware of any US casualties but an armoured vehicle used to retrieve damaged tanks had been hit by a rocket-propelled brigade.

An MSNBC reporter about 100 foot from a battery of M109A6s:
"Oooh! Man that's loud!" "I don't know if you folks at
home can hear this, but it's incredibly loud "

We couldn't hear it, because the camera mic obviously had
a decibel limit filter or something, all you could hear was the
initial noise, then it cut out. I was ROFL at this mental giant
standing 100 foot from a 6 inch gun not realizing it would be
loud. Must be his first war or something
