[Coexist]

[rodeodance]

6. military does not anything about captured soldier (as reported on the

Islamic website).

[seshers]

5. Are they going to take questions? n/t

[rodeodance]

8. yes, they are taking questions. Military is trying to ratake the Western

part--which they thought they had secured but apparently not.

[rodeodance]

9. asking about a 2002 (wash post art of today)--of Iraqi Gen. death--court

marshall taking place. Military saying it is criminal investigation. "interrogations"--have been publized previously he is saying and saying there are no procedures in the Army field manual that permit soldiers to beat prisoners.

[rodeodance]

11. miltary saying that there has been no investigations thus far where solder

may have beat prisoners.

[jean]

10. how many Ohio troops have been killed in the last days? It seems

the state of Ohio is taking the brunt of troop death this week. How do Ohio military vets feel about this - how do they feel about Major Hackett?

[rodeodance]

12. they just answrered your question--6 yesteday and 14 today from OHIO.

[rodeodance]

13. military saying both attachs are under investigation.

[rodeodance]

14. talking of Vincinct ? last name--the journalist who was killed also.

[rodeodance]

15. Bill Krystol being interviewed now--saying US needs to be on the offensive

more. Fox has cut away from the news conference.

[rodeodance]

17. Kristol is saying he does not agree with Bush who has said not to call

this a war on terror anymore but to refer to it as fighting extremeists.

[jean]

24. right, coming from a chickenhawk, let's use his latest military strategy

He and his neocons have had such success with their plans for taking over Iraq, remember?

Krystol's 'offensive' was Shock and Awe, which was supposed to quell all problems and leave our troops basking in flower petals and adulation of Iraqis.

[Coexist]

16. what's up with that?

is that some kind of sick warning for Major Hackett calling Bush a chickenhawk???

[rodeodance]

18. they just noted that all deaths last few days have been from OHIO.

[rodeodance]

19. bye for now.

[Coexist]

21. thanks!

[Coexist]

20. did they say anything else??

that is weird. Has a pattern like this happened before?

[rodeodance]

22. self delect (wrong thread)

[rodeodance]

23. another self delete (wrong thread)

[Bumblebee]

25. I just caught Barbara Starr on CNN and they showed a clip

from the Pentagon briefing. Guess what?!! They were killed BECAUSE WE ARE WINNING. Since we are now attacking simultaneously in many places, the insurgents do not have anywhere to flee, so they are killing our soldiers. Plain and clear, last throes, don't you know...
