I've been watching it. It is just unbelievable that the media are so low as to keep these tapes from the American people all this time. I guess we just can't be prejudicing people against terrorists. It just horrible, and incredibly tragic. I've been posting on the thread too. Are you there?

I made a post about the sicko Palestinian Sesame Street!!! I hope Israel NEVER caves into the demands of anyone in the world. It is important they do whatever it takes to protect their citizens. Screw these sickos!

Watching that clip just makes one realize another generation is lost over there.

Gives a whole new meaning to the sins of the fathers being visited on the children.

Two big firetrucks just sped down my quiet little street and stopped at the corner a couple of blocks down. Everyone else in the neighborhood is headed that way to check it out.

Did ya get pictures??

[Mo1]

I don't believe the story of the forest service employee who claims now that she was burning a "get lost" letter from her ex when the fire started

I'm not buying that story either ..

[Mo1]

To avoid a maximum sentance she must make restitution. Never mind the 25 houses she burned down, what is 100,000 acres of timber worth?
I am still not sure she is telling the truth or that this was accidental

Or the plane that crashed trying to put out the fire

[ValerieUSA]

Nope - I didn't go down the street. I couldn't see any smoke rising above the trees, so I figured it wasn't too exciting

[ValerieUSA]

Are you drunk yet? Whatcha drinking? *LOL*

At the time the fire broke out, Barton was assigned to patrol the Pike National Forest in central Colorado to enforce a fire ban imposed because of a drought. Barton, an 18-year Forest Service employee, said she burned the letter within a designated campfire ring, where fires normally would be allowed.

That is the part I have a problem with .. a piece of paper burned in a "designated campfire ring" caused that kind of out of control fire

I'm with you .. I ain't buying her story one bit

Mo, I think the plane crash happened at a fire in California.

I've been very interested and more than a little concerned about the Colorado fires. I have many good friends and clients who live there and so I've followed it closely for days. So far they're all safe and so are their homes.

[Mo1]

I agree, I don't believe her story either. It sounds like she was bitter and mad. Stupidly, destructively mad at the Forestry Service

Weren't there a few Clinton left overs that just resigned because the were pissed off at the way things were being done now???

"Or the plane that crashed trying to put out the fire"

That was in California.

Yes, Mo, whatcha drinking.... I'm having a Salty Dog and thinking about my poor yard. FOFL. Thinking about what kinda dog I might get. LOL

WALKER, Calif. -- Three crewmen confirmed dead in crash of air tanker fighting blaze near Yosemite National Park, Federal Aviation Administration says.

Oh I didn't know that happened at a different fire .. I just cought the end of the news and saw the plane crash .. prayer to those aboard the plane and their families

[Darlin']

Was that about two months ago ? I seem to recall that, yes.

[Mo1]

That is really nice ...

[Mo1]

No .. not drunk .. I went and took a nap .. it helped

[Mo1]

Mo, I think the plane crash happened at a fire in California

Got it .. I was still reading the thread and I hadn't seen the whole news clip .. I just saw the plane crash into the ground

[ValerieUSA]

Good thinking... a nap was overdue after all of your freepathonning

[Mo1]

something like that .. if I recall he was pretty upset
