    Saw this on Fox News: A CH-46 helicopter went down in Kuwait and the crew is feared lost. They said it could have been mechanical failure. Edit 4 Americans, 12 British soldiers lost.

    Also looks like that ground forces are in the Northern, Western, Southern Iraq.

      now reporting 16 were on board and all feared dead. Inclement weather suspected cause. They were returning from a mission and were back at the border when it went down.

            yeah. i know we were tlaking in my schools politics class and somebody said how many of the American deaths in the gulf war were due not to Iraqi soldiers but to crashes and our mistakes. plus, the sand eats away at all the mechanical things there. especialy on helicopters and the rotary stuff.

                News reports that Rumsfeild says we are talking to Iraqis Military about a surender or a coup. Not sure how serious or high level we are talking here but some indication there is some talk anyway... don't get your hopes up.

                  I just heard on Fox News that Saddam may have been in the bunker that was bombed in the first wave. This was from one of his mistresses that was talking to the state dept officials. Waiting for more info right now.

                      His speech may have been taped before the bombing. Officials are still checking. Here's more info on it. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp..._iraqi_leaders .

                        Now seems they are back down to 12 but a lot of them were british and 4 Americans. Sad... My heart goes out to their families.

                        Seems a lot of the regular Army is surrendering and some talk of Republican Gaurd preparing too. Our troops are moving rapidly through Iraq to positions to try and protect the oil fields and take up positions to prepare for the final bombings.

                        Confirmation that they are fairly certain Saddam and some of his top people were in the bunker when it was bombed but not confirmed if he or them were killed or injured. But they do feel his communications system is no longer. No one apears to be able to be in charge.

                            I just saw on the news that the first American was killed in combat, he was part of the Marine 1ST Expeditionary. And, I guess it's been confirmed that 4 American and 8 U.K. Soliders have ben killed that helicopter crash. Keep those men in your hearts and prayers.

                                No, I've been watching CNN since I've been at work, and they have been saying 4 Americans and 8 British, and 1 Marine killed by enemy action.
                                It's freaky watching CNN reports in Kuwait, I keep seeing all of these places I was in. Like those towers in the background, the Kuwaiti Towers. I just can't get over it.
