Thanks for including!

You probably have a good book with GW's statements. With each chapter, you do a prolog explaining the political situations during this time period. With remarks from the Da$$hole and the mediots. Then you use GW's statements as what he planned to do. Then you summarize the results.

Thanks for this and the many other goodies you post on FR. (And your insightful comments.)

I had to smile when I saw you'd underlined the final sentence about the rerun of the bad movie that he didn't want to watch. I had been copying and pasting excerpts from the press conference to print for a friend, and I had underlined the "rerun" remark on its earlier mention. GMTA

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks for post his actual words. ABCNNBCBS will spin, mutilate and fabricate his replies to meet their agendas.

[PhiKapMom]

That comment this morning jumped at me when he said it and I cracked up laughing. GMTA is right!

[PhiKapMom]

I agree and figure it is time we start putting up the actual words to debunk the so-called national media.

The Italians have been on board with shortly after 9/11.

We have friends who had a daughter in Italy for a year that started right before 9/11. She was about 24 and working on her Masters Degree. Like her parents, she is a conservative.

She said first that most Italians were outraged and sorry for Americans after 9/11. Then their liberals started saying we caused 9/11.

A lot of the Italians were going along with them. Suddenly, they had some scary incidences and their president released a lot of data about the activies of al Qaeda in Italy and terrorist acts that they had done, failed at and were prevented from doing. This scared most of the Italians back over to our side.

She is back home and predicted that Italy would be a loyal friend in our campaigns against Iraq, Iran and Syria.

[PhiKapMom]

Thanks for the insight! I listened carefully to the Italian foreign minister who was with Colin Powell. It was quite obvious the Italians would be there when we need them. We have a lot of AF in their country so I was very glad to hear his comments today.

Several of you have been doing a great job of this. It really helps to be able to log on to FR and read what was really said or is in GW's plan like his economic package.

Basically every left wing fish wrap, Senator, and ABCNNBCBS had nothing but lies and the DNC mantras published before GW even released the plan.

I think that he buried the Pelosi and the Da$$hole with the reality of his plan, and they are backing away from the economics of the 2004 campaign.

Our sixth fleet and the added fleet needs a friendly Italy.

I would like to see us close every AFB in Germany, army base and any other facility and move them to Italy and some eventually to Turkey.

This puts them closer to the Middle East for ops and fast response. Also, the dollars that spill out of those military facilities in Germany will go to Italy.

[MeekOneGOP]

Yep. When the time is right, the strike order will be given (and underway), then he'll make an announcement...

Count me in on that!

[Grampa Dave]

We should level every building and tear up all of the runways and control towers at any Airbase or military base.

Leave nothing that could be used against us in a few years down the road.

I remember when the Gulf War started I had on NBC and Brokaw was in the Gulf -- he said that an F-16 had just launched -- it was an F-4. He was right there with the crews and I would have thought he would have at least checked out which planes were going in first.

That clock is ticking faster and faster. Today Asst SoS Armitage gave a very good on Sadaam and Wolfowitz is scheduled to give one tomorrow from an email I received earlier! The pressure is on!

Clear ... crystal clear ... great quote.

soon enough we will hear "we begin bombing in 5 minutes".

Time to dump French wine for Italian wine!!!
