My sentiments exactly, Resty. I think something that we missed in the hearings is that these were detainees, not POW's in the Iraq prison. There were conditions that were not met under the GC treaty guide lines, as they were not in uniform and not entitled to POW status, but only unlawful combatants. Of course, that gets lost in the politics on the hill.

They were terrorists who hid behind the skirts of women and fought from mosques and Red Cross vehicles.

Do I have any sympathy for them and their humiliation? NO

But, I still want the women generals, the MP and MI who were in charge of this whole mess to pay the price for their incompetence. They were both promoted after Tailhook farce to their 'Peter Principle' positions. They had a spitting match on each other and both were afraid to even step into their own prisons to inspect. I think the buck stops with them.

I hope this farce of prison abuse and the hearings will fade with the images of an American being beheaded.

The firefighters think the hot spot was the new gas furnace in the motorhome --- he had them put a new one in it before he bought it (it was used). The insurance guys will probably check it out more thoroughly. He is so sick about losing the Tahoe - it was really a nice vehicle. A brand new canoe was burnt, too. As time goes on he thinks of more things he had out there. He may end up having to pay 3 deductibles, for his homeowners, his Tahoe and his motorhome.
But it's just stuff. No one was hurt - all of his animals are accounted for, too.

My disgust at the media and the democrats for their overplayed, badly acted outrage at the Iraqi prisoners' "sexual abuse" is deepening by the moment. They were so eager to find fault with America's military that no concern for their safety registered.Whenever you hear the call from slimy liberals to "Bring our soldiers home" know that they have not the slightest regard for any of the soldiers - they only care about hating President Bush and ridiculing American ideals.

Well, what in the world would cause an explosion in a motor home?

Gas leak. Stove or heater.

Farmer Ingenuity


Farmer John lived on a quiet rural highway. But, as
time went by, the traffic slowly built up at an
alarming rate. The traffic was so heavy and so fast
that his chickens were being run over at a rate of
three to six a day.


So one day Farmer John called the sheriff's office and
said, "You've got to do something about all of these
people driving so fast and killing all of my
chickens." "What do you want me to do?" asked the
sheriff. "I don't care, just do something about
those crazy drivers!" So the next day he had the
county workers go out and erected a sign that said:





SLOW:

SCHOOL CROSSING




Three days later Farmer John called the sheriff and
said, "You've got to do something about these drivers.
The 'school crossing' sign seems to make them go
even faster." So, again, the sheriff sends out the
county workers and they put up a new sign:




SLOW:

CHILDREN AT PLAY





That really sped them up. So Farmer John called and
called and called every day for three weeks. Finally,
he asked the sheriff, "Your signs are doing no good.
Can I put up my own sign?" The sheriff told him,
"Sure thing, put up your own sign." He was going to
let the Farmer John do just about anything in order to
get him to stop calling everyday to complain. The
sheriff got no more calls from Farmer John.

Three weeks later, curiosity go the best of the
sheriff and he decided to give Farmer John a call.
"How's the problem with those drivers. Did you put up
your sign?" "Oh, I sure did. And not one chicken has
been killed since then. I've got to go. I'm very
busy." He hung up the phone.

The sheriff was really curious now and he thought to
himself, "I'd better go out there and take a look at
that sign... it might be something that WE could use
to slow down drivers....." So the sheriff drove out
to Farmer John's house, and his jaw dropped the moment
he saw the sign. It was spray-painted on a sheet of
wood:




NUDIST COLONY

Go slow and watch out for the chicks!

I didn't see the video either.
My dreams are bad enough as it sits.
*ugh*
Saw the Daniel Pearl video.
Didn't need to see the recent one.

Besides, it's bad enough dreaming about friends you know to be dead.
You tell them they're dead.
They say 'yeah, and?'
You tell them you miss them.
The dream seems more real than the 'waking world'.
You say that you don't want to leave.
They tell you that you must go back.
And without further argument, they wake you up.

And you wake straight up without being startled awake.
You're just instantly awake.
And wondering just what happened, where you are, and why you have this sense that the dream was, well, odd.

I hate that feeling.
(That and, when my friend woke me up, she held her hand outward in a 'stop' hand motion. I felt a weird pushing sensation. And I sat upright, awake.)
