A DAY OF RECKONING SOON-

We are so spoiled! It’s fun watching a foreigner visit any of our grocery stores. They see the thousands of varieties and choices and wonder in amazement. The stores are open 24 hours a day and you can order pizza and have it at your front step in minutes. What a nation we live in.

The instant access to anything and everything (JIT delivery is the new corporate password) at the touch of your fingers. So, what’s this DELAY-PAUSE in the war? Let’s get it over?

Right now Rumsfeld is taking a beating for having messed up the war plans. Tommy Franks under-estimated the enemy. Bush hasn’t a clue. We’re taking a beating says Peter Arnett. We’re going to lose the war says Scott Ritter. Where are the WMD’s ask the press? Why are we killing all the civilians taunt the reporters. I mean the reporters at Centcom and the Pentagon are down right ugly and tough. So, why was Dan Rather so MILD with Saddam? Why isn’t the press talking about Saddam’s civilian killings instead of ours?

The bottom line is that our leaders are taking a beating, for the moment- at the hand of our own press: 1st amendment you know. But there is coming a day of reckoning. Iraqi Shiite’s have confessed that they found out Saddam’s men forced the truck with the fifteen kids and women to run through the blockade just so the U.S. would be blamed for their deaths. A new form of suicide tactics.

Soon, story after story, TRUTH, and WMD’s will come to light, and then all those reporters and nay-sayers can dine on CROW. Maybe. Most are too prideful to eat anything they cook.

PS. Some U.S. troops are now just 12 miles from Baghdad!

WHEN GREY RULES THE DAY!

I am seldom looked upon or called an intolerant person. I have compassion for most people and the circumstances they battle. Maybe it’s because I’ve fought in many of those same battles. Maybe it’s because I can relate. But then a world without black or white would be more than a world without zebras.

I am not sure how to label where we are today as a world when people are more afraid of Bush than Saddam, or when humans question which nation is more right (or righteous): U.S. or Iraq. This morning at the Centcom briefing the press hammered the U.S. for the loss of civilian life: but only that caused by the U.S.- not Iraq of course

Saddam is a man and Iraq is a nation that: laughs as living human bodies are thrown into a wood thrasher, smiles are men are decapitated, laughs as women are raped repeatedly before their husbands, shows no emotion as children are tortured before their parents, and without remorse, gasses and kills thousands of his own people. I could go on, but it hurts. We’re seeing even more of the atrocities in the current war.

There is absolutely no comparison between the evil (black) of Saddam Hussein and the good (white) of George Bush. To even think of making comparisons is unconsciencable. I’m sorry Peter Arnett, but your compass has been violated, altered, and seared.

There are wounds that we incur as we live life and I’ve found them to be a “strange kiss of God”, that to good people bring an intimacy which results in healing. Then there’s a kiss of death from very evil powers that effects eternity in the most negative of ways.

It’s becoming a more GREY world, every day, in many ways.

FORGET “OLD POST-MODERN”

Sociologists love to speak in “post-modern” terms. It’s an intellectual landmark to know that the demarcation between the modern and post-modern world was the tearing down of the Berlin Wall. You really impress people if you can say why we call it post-modern.

Well, I think all those books that have been written and occupy the shelves of so many bricks & sticks outlets, are going to collect dust, not revenue. You see, post-modern is going to have to be rewritten. It did happen on my birthday, November 9th, but a few years after I was born (1989). While few will remember my birthday, not many will have a problem remembering 9-11.

I have this sense that 9-11 will do more to frame and define the post-modern world that 11-9-89 ever will or did. The world has been forever altered since 9-11. The U.S. moved from a defensive mode to an offensive, pre-emptive one. NATO is no longer, what it used to be. France is in the process of imploding as Freedom Fries and American Toast verify.

Iraq is America’s new Mideast protectorate. Yes, we will put in a new Muslim regime: one that allows us to use airbases for whatever Mideast needs we have. Who needs Saudia Arabia, Baharain, or Qater once we have Iraq?

History books are about to be changed-rewritten. While it’s still post-modern (because we don’t yet have a name for it), it’s more Bush’s post-modern world than it is Reagan’s port-modern world. It’s a NEW post-modern world in it’s infancy.

ARM CHAIR LUXURY?

It’s obvious to me that that too many journalists, politicians and public in general are spending too much time in front of the TV playing or watching videos. I think we’d be better off if they all got up from the couch and ran around the block a couple of times.

You see, too many of our younger generation. and apparently our adults, have been living in the unreal world of simulation, theory, and “games”.

I have come to appreciate the patience of Gen. Tommy Franks who gets grilled every time he comes out about all the bad things that are happening as though war was a good thing! War is hell and real people spill real blood. Real neighbors, sons, daughters, and spouses lose their lives- permanently. This is not a game. We can’t rewind the tape of go back to a previous cut on the CD.

While most of the press and some of the public are anxious for us to enter Baghdad (why pause?), I am not. Many lives will be lost when Franks gives the go to our ground troops to attack. I appreciate his concern for American lives more than his concern to appease the press.

Let us remember. Bosnia took months! Desert Storm I took months. We’ve yet been in Iraq for two weeks, let alone one month. As I see it, the arm chair luxury of the press and demonstrators is a price too high for our men and women on the real battle field of life.

NAME THE SPORT!

If you’ve never played football, baseball, basketball, or hockey, you might not be able to relate: however, I think you’ll get the point. Let me put it this way. How many times have you seen a football team get whipped badly in the first half and then come back in the second half to win the game.

Is it the coaches speech? Some coaches are good orators; however, the key is for the team to SEE what they were doing that was not working in the first half and make the adjustments in the second half to win the game.

The Coalition is at one of those “half-time” moments as I see the war, with the exception that we’re ahead and not behind. In fact, the war has provided the U.S. with a major lead with some record-setting performances. The game would have been over by now had the initial “Hail-Mary” play worked, or had Turkey allowed our 4th Infantry in as planned three weeks ago.

That’s all history now. In the locker room, the coach (Tommy Franks) is adding a couple of plays: The 4th Infantry, the 24th and 26th Marine Expeditionary Units, the 2nd and 3rd Armored Calvary Regiments, and some portions of the 1st Calvary and 1st Infantry Division. In addition to those plays, there will be some more intense smash-mouth hitting (air power), and a few more fake-outs (being smarter and deceptive).

So, while this war will not be the cake walk that maybe even Rummy thought it would be, it will be faster and quicker than Kosovo or Desert Storm I. Having said that, with the expectations as high as they were, even that may not satify the onwer of the team (The American public). Time will tell. Time will also bear witness that this U.S. team is one of the best the world has ever seen. Hooaah!

PERIODIC WAR UPDATES

12:30pm I begin the “afternoon” update with two issues. The PRESS here in America needs to hear this answer, “God only knows how long the war will last”! Are you tired of that question as well? The second issue is Syria. They are coming closer to getting themselves put in the yoke by sending military hardware to Iraq.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
1:30pm Public property you say? Fiendsboro, NJ is not allowing the patriotic yellow ribbons on public property. Excuse me! Aren’t our men and women who are spilling their blood in Iraq doing so for “your” public domain. It seems that the second thing to go in war (1st is truth), is common sense!
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
2:45pm While I am pained for any person that loses their life in war or otherwise, I am more than pained to hear Saddam behead people, gase them, torture and rape women, hide behind children, and then complain IF a missile goes awry? I agree with Rummy who said, everyone should leave Baghdad for a few days. Is that clear enough? Get the point? Then the truly liberated can come back home.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
3:10pm No Scuds have slammed into Jerusalem. No oil slicks have poured into the Gulf. Very few oil fires have been started or oil wells blown up. Ninty per cent of the Iraqi skies are “owned” by the US. Within a little more than a week, nearly half of the nation is under U.S. control. So, what’s all this *#@^ about being “stalled” or falling behind plan?
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
5:20pm Those who demonstrate and demand an end to the war have not a clue what they are asking. Were the U.S. to stop now, Saddam would be King of the Arab world, al-Qaeda would be emboldened, every terrorist would se the U.S. as a paper tiger, and America’s demise would come quickly. There is no turning back. There is no end other than victory. So, no matter what you want France, it’s on to Baghdad!
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

PERIODIC WAR UPDATES

6:30am Something tells me that this war is due for a surprise of some sort. Another 130,000 troops are on their way, Baghdad is just down the road from our troops. We’ve seen familiar stories for 8 days now. I’m sensing that something BIG to happen around the corner.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
8:00am Intel says an Iraqi army general was captured at his home in An Nasiriyah with important documents and a huge safe that the U.S. hopes will be revealing. And those amazing dolphins keep finding mines in the gulf.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
8:35am Where’s the opposition? I think it’s time that we start hearing about those whom have been exiled by Saddam for the past decade coming to the forefront: speaking, leading, and being engaged in battle themselves. We now have secured major airports and our C-17 and C-130’s are bringing in fresh troops and supplies. Let’s bring in some of the royal opposition as well.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
10:35am America is the land of the FREE! Immigrants have been rushing here for centuries. That cherished freedom even allows for people to be stupid, like Dem. Charlie Rangel of NY. He accused U.S. troops of killing kids! Say what? We’re risking our soldiers lives to NOT injure civilians while Saddam kills thousands and millions at will and Rangel has the gall to make that statement? Freedom also has responsibilities to which Rangel obviously has no clue about.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
11:15am Talk about crazy! Iraq just expelled four human shields citing “secuity risks”. Duh!
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

PERIODIC WAR UPDATES

1:00pm Talk about paradigm differences. The U.S. is reporting 24KIA while Iraq reports they’ve killed 700. They also say they don’t need humanitarian aid since there’s no emergency in their country. It’s scary how many things we all believe, that really isn’t true!
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
2:35pm Death and blind? Missiles are just now plowing in to Baghdad at the same time their sirens go off which means they have no advance notice. Meanwhile, Iraqi authorities are saying they downed 196 cruise missles. Right! We also know that an A-10 attack aircraft took out a surface-to-surface launcher beleived to have been menacing Kuwait.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
4:05pm Here come the supplies and other needed war machinery. The Tallil air field in southern Iraq has now been cleared and is receiving those huge C-130 transport planes. The 12,000 foot runway will greatly shorten that 300 mile road from Kuwait to Baghdad. Tallil is just West of An Nasiriyah. Our military just renamed it Bush International Airport.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
5:10pm More troops were parachuted into N. Iraq. And, the latest casualty numbers were released: 28 KIA and 40 wounded, an amazingly low number considers everything. The latest hot rumors have Saddam with bags packed and ready for asylum in Syria where his family and many of the leader’s families already have fled. Of course the “line” is that they are still beating the invaders at every turn. British Intel is claiming that al-Qaeda terrorists are fighting with Saddam’s troops in Basra. How could we believe that when Saddam has totally denied any connection and France has backed it up as well?
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
6:35pm For the Brits, it was a bitter-sweet day around Basra. A convoy was ambushed with 8 killed, 30 wounded and 2 missing. Meanwhile the Brits captured the Basra TV station. Rumsfeld announced that another 120,000 U.S. troops will deploy into Iraq in the next 30 days.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
7:40pm Baghdad’s downtown area shook violently today during Coalition bombing. The DOD just gave us the reason why. The first bunker-buster was dropped.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

PERIODIC WAR UPDATES

6:40am As day breaks in America, the day is long in the tooth in Baghdad. Bombing has continued round the clock. The weather is favorable and the battle heats up. Fourteen Iraqi tanks that left Basra were destroyed.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
7:25am While our military risks their lives, and sometimes die for us back home, we have demonstrators in NY holding up traffic and taking police away from protecting truly peace-loving citizens. In earlier wars they complained that the military wasn’t truthful. Now they’re complaining that the embedded reporters are too pro-military. You just can’t APPEASE some people!
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
8:00am Saddam is winning the “Media War”, so far. The real enemy is not the Arab press but the Western LIBERAL press. In fact, Paul Adams, a British reporter, has blasted his own employer (BBC) for distorting the truth and making British battle losses look greater than they were. From time to time I tune in to one of the big three networks, but I stay there only long enough to get angry (2-3 minutes?). Irritated? Me?
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
9:15am Brown, blue, and silver? Yep! The skies have been brown with a major sandstorm. They are now blue as they’ve ever been. Soon, the skies will be silver. Forget shock-n-awe, here comes the metal (silver) sky as U.S. planes begin to hammer and hammer the Republican Guard and every other enemy arrayed against us.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
10:10am In a blow to Chirac and friends, the EU voted down a resolution condemning the U.S.-led war in Iraq.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
11:35am Final morning post. Why aren’t the Iraqi’s supporting us more? A woman who waved at U.S. troops was hanged, and a man who had taken food from Brits a day before, had his tongue cut out. He bled to death. Once Saddam is gone, the will support us!
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

PERIODIC WAR UPDATES

1:00pm The Iraq military is on the move during the end of the sandstorm: 1,000 vehicles going South from Baghdad and 150 vehicles and tanks headed South of Basra to Al Faw Peninsula. Coalition aircraft have both of them in their cross hairs.
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
1:45pm It’s all about TIME! The U.S. needs to be IN Baghdad to some degree by this weekend. Saddam is doing all he can to slow us down because TIME is on his side. The U.S. public is impatient. Remember that Saddam does not have to WIN this war- just not LOSE it. We have to WIN it- and soon!
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
3:30pm The Iraqi South Command has taken an offensive break-out from Basra in three directions through their 51st Mechanized division. They have taken back one of three airports and have broken through a British line towards Al Faw Peninsula. Coalition airplanes are now attacking those columns.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
4:05pm Coalition commanders have decided to make a tactical change. Instead of ignoring and by-passing the Fedayeen en route to Baghdad, commanders are now ordering U.S. forces to hunt them down and take them out.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
4:35pm 1,000 members of the 173 Airborne Brigade have parachuted into Northern Iraq taking over an important airport.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
6:15pm Twenty five Marines injured in house-to-house searches where human shields were used. Meanwhile Iraq said that they would not accept any humanitarian aid since no emergency exists. So, if you never doubted Iraq leadership’s intelligence before, try that one on.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
8:20pm After posting the ridiculous story by Scott Ritter, I noticed it has been pulled! You can still read the article by going directly to www.Worldnetdaily.com
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

PERIODIC WAR UPDATES

6:20am The sandstorm from hell may well turn out to have been from just the opposite. Our forces have gotten some needed rest and repair time while waiting out the storm. Intel reports that 1,000+ Rep. Guard vehicles are headed out of Baghdad to meet the Marines
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
6:45am Baghdad bridges are being seen as loaded with explosives, fake US uniforms have been found in Iraq trenches causing concern for infiltration, and within the next 1-2 days B-Day should be underway.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
8:55am As the sand storms subside the real ugliness of war (Saddam) is seen. He is using human shields, carrying war equipment in ambulances, hiding in hospitals, faking surrenders, killing their own people who attempt to give up, and having the military dressing as civilians. Is there any facet of the Geneva Convention or international law Saddam has not broken? While the U.S. is doing everything it can to not injure civilians in our bombing, Saddam is doing just the opposite. Is he not proving to be this era’s symbol of evil?
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
10:15am There’s no charge at camp Exxon and camp Shell. These are two “gas stations” set up in S. Iraq to refuel tnaks and vehicles. As night falls on Baghdad, huge explosions are being heard again.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
11:20am The Army’s 4th Infantry out of Ft. Hood that has been watching the war from Killeen, Texas are to ship out Thursday to Iraq. This highly modern unit of 12,000 soldiers are due to be in actual battle in 10-15 days.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

PERIODIC WAR UPDATES

3:05pm The Shiite has hit the fan! Iraqi’s in Basra have said ENOUGH to Saddam. The Shiites want food and water! And in memories of WWII, Iraqi’s are beating Arab TV crews and dressing up as coalition foces to see what Iraqi’s will surrender and upon finding that out, they shoot their own.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
3:15pm In an amazing coalition of Brits, Americans, and Shiite Arabs battling Saddam’s troops. Shiite’s are led by Majid Khoei, the son of a legendary Iraqi Ayatollah. You need a player guide if you’re in Basra!
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
4:10pm The UN Security Council has called an emergency meeting for Wednesday to TALK (more) about Iraq. They think the fighting should end! Right, we’re going to stop on the outskirts of Baghdad. Come on guys, get a life, or at least get REAL! Don’t you guys have something valuable to do? 3,000 chemical suits and masks were found in a hospital in An Nasiriyah along with ammunition. Draw you own conclusions. And then there’s this question. Why will 100,000+ Republican Guard have to lose their life to save Saddam who cannot be saved?
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
5:05pm Coalition forces have met stiff resistance near Karbala and Najaf (maybe the Al Medina Republican Guards) killing 300+ Iraqis in the midst of a sand storm but losing no U.S. forces.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
5:30pm Gen. Tommy Franks is giving the tired and weary 3rd Infantry Div. a much needed rest thirty some miles from Baghdad. Maintenance and repairs as well as some sleep are on the agenda- then ON TO BAGHDAD (March 29th).
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
7:45pm Final report of the day is that the supposed “chemical” plant in An Najaf is not one!
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -

PERIODIC WAR UPDATES

6:30am Now the war begins in earnest. The Republican Guard stands between the 3rd Infantry division and Baghdad. Intel says that chemical and biological weapons WILL be used. The first suicide attack just happened destroying a U.S. tank in the process. Add to that a “brown out” or major sandstorm and you have a very dangerous mix.
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
7:55am The port of Umm Qasr is now secure and after port mine-sweeps, we can brng humanitarian aid in. There is also another ‘unconfirmed’ report that the first coalition plane has been downed over Baghdad. Baghdad is calling on all “tribes” to fight the invading infidels.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
8:30am Six GPS jammer sites in Baghdad have been recently taken out and destroyed with no affect on our missiles. The 15th Iraqi missile was just downed by a Patriot over Kuwait.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
10:00am Bush has just spoken asking for $75B (as starters). Most are saying the heavy-lifting part of this war will take a month (not the Hollywood-scripted 3 days). The 3rd battalion of the 7th Calvary just captured a key bridge at Karbala that leads to Baghdad. Meanwhile back down the line at Basra, 50 Iraqi tanks are taking on the UK forces. Finally, our paratroopers have been dropped 60 miles West of Baghdad to secure H1 (we’ve previously taken H2 and H3) an airfield that will be invaluable for attacks on Baghdad.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
11:40am There’s a popular uprising in Basra of the inhabitants against the Iraqi troops who would not let the humanitarian aid in. They are hungry and will not be held back!
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

PERIODIC WAR UPDATES

3:30pm The MTV video game moment went PUFF on Wall Street. The Dow had a one-day glory in fame Friday when it got into the green for the first time since January, but with today’s 307 points, the Dow is now back in the red along with the S&P500.
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
4:05pm Seven Baath ruling party leaders were executed in Basra for “laxity in fulfilling their military dutiies”. If he’s alive, when he loses the war, maybe we can execute Saddam under the same rules.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
5:15pm The Pentagon confirms the two downed Apache helicopter pilots shown on Iraqi TV were valid. Thankfully, they did not receive the harsh treatment the previous group did. Blair is coming to the White House and B-DAY looms on the horizon. Syria is sending a couple bus-loads of civilian militia to join the fight with Irag: a potential war-act by Syria.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
7:30pm Event postponed due to sand storm? Maybe? But some 75,000 hardened Republican Guard are now squared off against four U.S. units and only the “go” signal and a potential sandstorm is keeping them apart. Here is where we find out if chemical and biological weapons come into play. Here is where it gets real dicey and dangerous.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
9:30pm Enough for the day. Tuesday and beyond will be more than critical and interesting. We’ve lost less than 50 men. For a war of this magnitude, at this point, it’s the least costly in terms of life than the the 1991 war. However, this war is not yet over by a long shot. I think Wall Street got that message today. Until tomorrow, God’s grace and mercy on all who face death every day or minute. May they find peace as their loved ones who suffer from afar.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
