Another RAT scare tactic bites the dust. Failure after failure has to take its toll.

Hot damn, this probably means there'll be a lot of cheap .223 ammo on the market soon.

You're right. Now that the economy is going up all they have left is this WMD malarky. I can't wait for the day they find the mother lode of WMD. Hopefully, it will happen when the Dems get the most shrill. They will look like complete and utter idiots to everyone.

Does this mean we are in danger of running another surplus, and shall be forced to reduce taxes yet again?

Battle for Baghdad - an example of a government plan that in fact, came in ahead of time, and under budget. Could only happen under Republican leadership.

Seems like that's the way its been. I see no reason it won't continue.....given their propensity to be shrill almost 100% of the time.

Dammit!

Cut that out.
The brainless progressive robots will find out:
a) The war is far from over.
b) How much will it cost?

No they were right on this one. Of course this was the state of affairs before the war. And would have been the state of affairs with out the war. And will be the state of affairs after the war.

As long as we are the most successful country on the face of the earth (by the grace of God) the rest of the world will hate us. Nothing we do will ever change that.

That's OK though. As long as they fear us. It's far better to be feared than to be loved.
