Cairo, Egypt-AP -- There are celebrations reported across the Arab world, after the news of more American casualties in Iraq.
Resistance to the occupation is applauded by some who see it as proof that Iraqis weren't totally humiliated by the relative ease of the U-S-led coalition's toppling of Saddam Hussein.
Many Arabs had warned an invasion of Iraq could drag the region into chaos. In Damascus today, foreign ministers from countries bordering Iraq again called on the U-S to restore order in that country.

I wonder. What would the Romans have done? If Romans had nukes they would still be around.

The images of celebrating Iraqis that Fox News has been airing for the last 30-45 minutes is in regard to the 2 U.S. Civilians that were killed by a roadside bomb.
(Not that it makes it any better.)

If Romans had nukes they would still be around. Even if everyone around the Romans had nukes too? Even if those that had the nukes had the will to use them, but the Romans did not?

Boycott of FOX News, I will do. In addition, Tony Snow is stepping down from FOX News Sunday, Chris Wallace(Mike Wallace's son from ABC(ALL BULLSH*T COMMUNISTS)) is stepping in to FOX News Sunday for your information!!!! Fox News Chairman, Roger Ailes says"This makes it more difficult for critics to say the network tilts to the right".

I think your reply, let the damn killers get free publicity, is exactly right. The more they show it, the more they rejoice.
I had the tv on CNN, this morning, and Wolf
Blitzer announced this sad story, he at least mentioned the families of these soliders, could not give their names, because the families had not be notified. Still did not know if the soliders were headed home, for their two week R!R or not.
Pray for the familes of these poor men, they are going to need it.
I really think if I seen them rejoicing, I would have first shot over their heads, and the shots, going slowly all the way down.
I have been watching CNN. Fox and Kolbe, Peterson etc finally drove me away It had got to the point it was 24/7.
To: 68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub
No we don't, and neither do the family members of our troops. Tonk, I do not mean any desrepect or sarcasm but that is why we have remote controls and other cable, tv stations we can watch. Fox News is not the only station in the U.S..
If we could sit and watch the onset of the war (Shock and Awe) we better prepare ourselves for the remainder of it. It is'nt pretty.

I can't speak for everyone else, but I need to see this. In spite of all that is going on I will support those who are making the decisions to continue this war and do what is necessary to win.
In spite of our great strides there are still problem areas and this happening today brings another turning point of where we're headed in the war on terror.
Whether we're headed to Syria or whereever the trail leads from the ruins of the Chinook.
It makes me angry to see some of those America is trying to save from a brutal dictator spit in our collective faces and say we don't want you here.
My heart ache for those who have lost their son or husband.

If we are not going to fight to win we shouldnt have gone over there. Isn't that what we always do, ever since World War II? Pull our punches in every war, leaving a festering mess?

"The Arab networks will run it 24/7."
FOX NEWS new motto.
Arab see, Arab do.
After all FOX want to make sure anti-American Arabs
in the US see it over and over again.
To: MEG33
Shock and Awe bump.
We definately have to come back faster and harder. I say to our commanders do what you have to do and don't tell us about it.

There people in high positions, positions of public trust, who don't want their political opponents to do well no matter what the cost.
It is time to do what Michael Savage said. Urban renewal. Clear the bad neighborhoods. To the ground.
And chide the local Iraqis for cowardice not deserving their own country. If they don't care enough to protect their Americans, they should be on their own all that much sooner. America is going back to America and the drawbridge will be raised and the oil set to boiling.

It will just encourage other killers.They are encouraged by their mullahs and whatever in their mosque and hideouts. They are busy conjuring up their next strike, not sitting around posting and watching Fox News. I'm sure their favorite station is Al Jazeera.
