[Chairman_December_19th_Society]

We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail! [President Bush]

Good morning!! Do not let the victims of the attacks on New York and Washington, nor the brave members of our Nation's military who have given their lives to protect our freedom, die in vain!!

Today, Secretary Powell will brief the UN Security Council regarding American intelligence that will show Iraq is not complying with UN requirements, intelligence the Iraqis say is fabricated.

In hearings on Capitol Hill, lawmakers were told by Administration officials that North Korea might sell fissile material, possibly complete Bombs, to other entities to raise cash.

Hans Blix told Iraqi officials that, while a date certain for military action has not been set, it is "five minutes till midnight," and the Iraqis had better start turning up information on arms production.

Last November, Saudi Arabia quietly provided a passport and transport to remove a woman from the United States who was supposed to have testified to a grand jury about her husbands terrorist connections.

NASA was warned nine years ago the shuttle could catostrophically fail if debris hit the vital underside area of the craft - the very scenario that is the leading idea being investigated now. NASA made some changes to the fuel tank design, but has noted the foam always "has been a pain."

And in Los Angeles, a city council meeting, which was the last for three council members who were recalled, got out of control. An amateur video has footage of the mayor clocking one of the council members with her handbag, followed by a punch.

For AMERICA - The Right Way, I remain yours in the Cause, the Chairman.

Maxine Waters...that is the broad who needs a tube and a half of lipstick for each application? You know, the one whose lips have the label "Inflate to 35 PSI" on them?

Yesterday on Hume's show....Charles Krauthammer made a very insightful comment.

He said when the Oklahoma (bombing) Memorial took place, and X-42 spoke, he used ..I....many times...(Krauthammer counted them)...and also used Hillary & I....even more times.

He said it was all about HIM. (surprise)

But Bush is innately humble, and it's NEVER about him....but about the circumstance.

I was quite impressed!

[Miss Marple]

I was happy to know that someone besides Howlin and myself counted those "I's!"

Every time X-42 is quoted, or writes an article, either Howlin or I count them!

I wonder if Krauthammer got the idea here? LOL!

[dittomom]

And speaking of Eagles, Here's another one for ya' Chairman...

Finally, The Arizona Republic's Steve Benson gets one right - it's rare these days.

[Two Thirds Vote Aye]

That's exactly what got me thinking about it (as I have many times before; it just hit me harder this time).....
The powerfully consoling, healing, and encouraging words from this great President Bush......words that were spoken with such a genuine and true spirit that, I dare say, immediately started this country's grieving soul on the long road of recovery from this unthinkable tragedy.

Another thought that came to mind was that these 2 shuttle tragedies occurred when there was a President in Office that was inspired by God and capable of handling the awesome task of leading this nation and the aerospace industry down the long road of recovery.

[Two Thirds Vote Aye]

Well said, kassie!

My heart is very heavy this morning. My DirectTV dish has left the mortal plain. It passed away about 4 minutes before Brit Hume came on last night. Attempts to resuscitate it(playing with cables, checking the dish, playing with card, banging on the receiver box, and cursing it out) failed, and death was officially pronounced at 5:23 PM CST.

[Guenevere]

I forgot to say the Air Force colonel who is presenting our Bible Study (he's also an elder in our church)...is flying out today for a private memorial service for Col.Husband.

He and Husband became friends years ago when both were test pilots.

[Guenevere]

#63...I wouldn't doubt it.

I truly believe LOTS of certain folks get info/ideas from this sight :)

[ABG(anybody but Gore)]

Every time X-42 is quoted, or writes an article, either Howlin or I count them!

Try the x42 drinking game. Everytime he says "I" or "we", you take a drink. I did it for his farewell speech, and got snockered. ;^)

[Miss Marple]

AGH! I never thought about a dish breaking!! Now I will live in fear that this will happen to us just as Baghdad is under attack! Yikes!

[dittomom]

Hi, Guennie!!!

Here's the only time the President said "I" in his speech yesterday...

"The final days of their own lives were spent looking down upon this Earth. And now, on every continent, in every land they could see, the names of these astronauts are known and remembered. They will always have an honored place in the memory of this country. And today I offer the respect and gratitude of the people of the United States."

[kassie]

Amazing isn't it? Clinton is so full of himself.

[Two Thirds Vote Aye]

Hi Guennie,

Throught the Bible, one of the HIGHEST qualities honored by God is humility, and this President genuinely exhibits it so well.

The one who only inhabited the White House was EVERYTHING BUT humble. He may well be the most selfish 'human being' to occupy the White House in modern times.

[dittomom]

Re: Your DirectTV Dish. Might be the transponders. I truly have no earthly idea what they are, but hubby had to climb up and replace one when about half the channels didn't work (the half with FoxNews of course). Now the other half (the half with MessNBC and CSPAN1) is starting to act flakey.

ANYWAY, I hope you'll be able to ressurect yours!

[Two Thirds Vote Aye]

That is truly amazing, dittomom. The only time he uses it is where he HAD to.

[Two Thirds Vote Aye]

LOL!

[Guenevere]

#72....that quote just says it all, doesn't it.
The ONLY time he used 'I' was in respect towards them.

Maybe it's hard to fathom 2/3rds, but I believe some people in the media, etc. are finally waking up to X-42's selfishness because there's SUCH a contrast between him and President Bush.
Bush is genuine and people can't help but recognize this.

[dittomom]

Early on in this administration, pundits would say that the White House was making a conscious effort to differentiate itself from the previous occupants. As for the CIC himself, I don't think he even has to try to be different from that...that..."other guy." He is himself - genuine - and that's why the difference is so evident.

[dittomom]

OOPS! I swear I didn't see your "genuine" before I posted mine!! Great minds think alike?!?
