Thank GOD!

Joe, this is a great idea. The forum was becoming more repetitve than a Michael Bolton record...all Iraq this, Bush that.

I'll watch CNN for my war news...this forum is for escaping that kinda stuff for 5 minutes.

Exactly. The war IS BIG NEWS of coarse, I just felt we could all benefit from a sticky without having to dig through numerous threads, you know?

Hope you can all use it to your benefits!

Yeah, great idea. I hate browsing these forums just to see 5 new threads on how much Saddam, France, protestors and Bush sucks.

I heard on the radio this morning that Saddam encouraged his people to "raise their swords against the invaders".

I'm not so sure he meant that figuratively. Can you imagine a platoon of marines, armed to the tits, being approached by 10-15 ragheaded Iraqis waving scimitars?? HAW HAW!

Platoon Leader: "Do they have swords? Am I seeing this?"

Private: "Yes sir. Scimitars, I think they're called, sir."

Platoon Leader: "Hmm...yeah. Ok. Fuck this, OPEN FIRE!"

biggrin:

Well, I hope you know there was irony in what he said, meaning he didn't want cowards, he wanted them to attack.

Anyways, it would STILL be funny seeing a bunch of ragheads on camels charging like calvary with swords.

According to a recent report a few weeks ago an entire group of Iraqi soldiers surrendered before a shot was fired in anger.

British paras were doing standard training near the borders and when the nearby Iraqis heard the gun-fire they surrendered instantly.

The British paras are battle hardened but they felt really sorry for these men. They had to turn them back and refuse surrender because telling them it hadn't even started yet.

That's truly sad.

NEWS: KUWAIT CITY, Kuwait (CNN) -- U.S. Patriot missiles knocked two Iraqi missiles out of the sky on Thursday, hours after two others landed without injury near the U.S. forces' main logistics center in the Kuwaiti desert, the military said.

Looks like the Iraqi's have been firing more Scuds in the direction of Kuwait. The last ones were fired about half an hour ago. CNN state "The troops rose to the occasion" and were angered.
