Let's face it, we know something others are just learning. I was just on the phone with my brother and the conversation turned to "how many" soldiers were firing on that building targeted by the A-10. I mentioned that it was only ONE A-10 that fired all of those rounds. Probably the one "dancing in the sky," on all of the news programs.

They should call this jet the Wyatt Earp. It goes right into the middle of the bad guys and kicks the crap out of them. No fear.

I like the way the A-10's roll is described as "softening" the battle field. Until rigor mortis sets in, that is an accurate description of what is happening in front of that gun to the oppostion forces.

Is there anyone who really thinks this jet is ugly? Uhh, strike that. Is there anyone of the coalition ground forces that really thinks this jet is ugly? I'll bet not even one...

You guys see that A-10 "dancing" in the skies over Bagged-Dad? Life and death and that pilot was "loitering," in the middle of it popping out flares for SAM. Low and slow, I don't think so. How about deliberate and deadly?

Support is when your helping out those doing the work. The A-10's are winning it virtually side by side!

Thank God the A-10 pilot who had to punch out is safe. Wait until it is all said and done and we'll find out how much damage was done by the Warthog.

Later!

Was that an A-10 peppering the Ministry of Information Building with 30mm...Yikes!

[joke]Iraqi Information minister: There are no American A-10's over Baghdad.
Reporter: But what about all those holes in the your building?
IIM: We have termites that is all... I repeat there are no A-10's over Baghdad we are winning.[/joke]

ahh.... to live in your own little world.....

1. Don't look conspicuous; it draws fire.
2. Never draw fire; it irritates everyone around you.

What you're missing out on is the 'conversion factor authenticator' that the Iraqi Information Minister is working off of. When you want to send messages in code, or prove that you're one of the good guys talking to other good guys on the radio, you use an authentication code. The Iraqi Info Minister uses one, but it's a tad different from the coalition version. Allow me to demonstrate:

When the Iraqi Information Minister says, "We killed 10 U.S. tanks, 5 APCs, and 50 soldiers today..."
A quick check of the conversion factor authenticator reveals: 10 dead U.S. tanks = 80 Iraqi T-72s destroyed; 5 destroyed APCs = 150 MT-LBs and BMPs destroyed; 50 soldiers killed = 1,000 Iraqi Special Republican Guard KIA.

Another example:
Info Minister: "There are no U.S. ground forces inside Iraq."
Conversion: The 3rd ID and 1st MEF are moving in on Baghdad quicker than 300 drunk rednecks at a NASCAR race who have spotted a hoochie momma on top of an RV on the infield showing off her boobies.

Using the special authenticator, we can see that the Iraqi Info Minister is actually our best source of intelligence from inside the Saddam Hussein regime.
Reporter: "Are you scared?"
Info Minister: "NO! And you should not be either."
Conversion: I have been s#!tt!ng my pants so much lately I ran through 30 pair of silk boxers in one day. I have no idea where Saddam is, haven't seen him since 19 March...I don't even think Saddam knows where he is. I'm wearing this beret so that I can run to the French embassy once the people start realizing Saddam is really gone and revolt. A-10s were attempting to give me a 30mm enema at work, so I've taken to the streets to give them the challenge of attempting to hit a human-sized moving target. You should be afraid of standing so close to me, because any second some Marine scout sniper might catch me in his crosshairs and turn my mellon into a fine red mist, covering you with pieces of brain and skull.

Hopefully this gives you an idea of how the Iraqi Info Minister works his magic.
