-Caveat Lector- Drudge sometimes really doesn't know when to pounce and when not to. Unfortunately, he seems to like pouncing on stories which appear to have been fed to him from the current administration. He likes to include the tagline that he's reporting the stuff Washington doesn't want you to hear. I guess that only really applies when there's a Democrat in office. Otherwise he's just another shill.
"Developing ..." Ooooo, we hang on your every word, Matt! Tell us, please, more about the indignant soldiers and this non-event. You sure have a nose for news! Nobody could have found this except good ol' Matt, telling us what matters ... phew. - jt ----- Original Message ----- From: "William Shannon" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.drudgereport.com/command.htm XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX SUN MARCH 16, 2003 20:12:37 ET XXXXX AMERICAN MARINES OUTRAGED AFTER PLACED UNDER BRITISH COMMAND **Exclusive** American marines camped in Kuwait are furious they have been put under British command, the DRUDGE REPORT can reveal. "I want to serve under my own country!," one angry marine communicated to the DRUDGE REPORT this weekend. MORE In several desert camps, American troops have been placed under the command of British officers, it has been revealed. With brutal weather conditions and the lack of familiar modern conveniences taking a toll, the issue has become a hot flash point -- even before the first bombs are dropped! "This is bogus, if I die, it's for the United States... not the freakin' world," said the marine, whose identity, location and mode of communication was assured anonymity. "I did not come here to take orders from the British. [We] already feel a big let down by this." A top Pentagon source would neither confirm nor deny that some American troops have been placed under British command. One well-placed White House source said late Sunday, "Rest assured, when it comes time for battle, every American man and woman in uniform will be under the direction of U.S. Central Command and General Franks."
