Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of the day”; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....

Can anyone please explain to me, BTW, why fomenting an attempt on GHWB's life is not in and of Itself, reason to overthrow Baghdad ?

Somehow, I am still unclear on that point...Attempted Assassination of, even an EX President (and sadly that includes X42) surely should prove that the regime is mentally unstable and in need of changing.

[camle]

theres' only one way in which you could do that, and Hobbes and ARgh would want to see the vid.

[xsmommy]

Je suis un revanchist.

"All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth.... could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years.

At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide." - Abraham Lincoln, 1847

Au revoir, mes amis mort! Nous, les vivant, garde la foi, pour vous, toujour.
(Good bye fallen friends! We, the living, will keep the faith, for you, forever.)
LonePalm, le Républicain du verre cassé (The Broken Glass Republican)

[xsmommy]
