US Promises to Punish Those Responsible for Gruesome Iraq Attacks
The top U.S. official in Iraq says Wednesday's gruesome attacks on four American civilians whose burned bodies were put on display in the town of Fallujah will not go unpunished.
"It's going to be deliberate, it will be precise and it will be overwhelming," U.S. General Mark Kimmitt said, speaking to reporters in Baghdad. He warned insurgents in the town of Fallujah to be prepared for U.S. forces to strike back following Wednesday's killing of four American contractors by a frenzied mob that dragged their charred bodies through the streets.
Televised footage of the act has provoked outrage from Americans in the United States and led U.S. administrator in Baghdad Paul Bremer to issue a warning.
"Their deaths will not go unpunished," he promised.
The White House blamed the attacks on supporters of Saddam Hussein. The remains of the four were to be turned over to the U.S. military.
A day after the attack, three American soldiers were injured in another attack near Fallujah, this time when their Humvee struck a roadside bomb.

Don't know whether anyone has posted this yet, but here is an update on the diver found floating in the Hudson River last winter:
Dead diver identified as Houston man
NEWBURGH -- A body found floating in the Hudson River near Dynegy's Danskammer power plant two months ago has been identified, Town of Newburgh police said. Juan Carlos Galo-Argueta, 22, of Honduras, was living in Houston, police said Friday. An investigation by Newburgh Detective Marc Harrington, the U.S. Coast Guard Investigative Service and Houston police also found he was an illegal alien. His body, clad in full scuba gear, was discovered Feb. 22 by the crew of a cargo ship that had delivered coal to the power plant, police said. He will be buried next week by the Orange County Coroners Office.

Now, what the heck is an illegal Hinduran living in Houston doing in the Hudson River in friggin' February?
Certainly not terrorist related!! /SARCASM
sheesh
I hope they are combing that section of the river.
This has got to raise some serious RED FLAGS!!!

Crazy like a fox. ;)

I hope so!!
The key will be finding varieties that will overwinter well. We had a really bad winter two years ago that knocked out a lot of lavenders used as onamentals in this area. The farm I'm getting my stock from also lost a lot of varieties. I'm starting with the five varieties that survived that year the best for them and also have very desirable characteristics for aroma and culinary uses.
There's also a LOT of hand labor involved, which is why you don't find very many large lavender farms. The labor I can deal with.
I'll know next spring how the rest will go :)

Hey Indie,
Given your fondness for the IRS (sarc), I thought you might find the following link interesting. Chances are you've already seen this, but if not, watch the first two videos and tell me if you've ever seen the side-step shuffle performed better.

Jill, can you do what JP suggested? Put your work on this thread?
Your work is just too important, and the information you turn up seems crucial.
I hope you will consider doing this.
It must be very expensive to keep up your site, I have no idea what the costs must be, but please consider posting your work here if you can't keep your site up!

They clearly were successful in taking over the Democrat party 100%.Can't resist this - would the "THEY" you refer to mean one of the following: (1) athiests, (2) gays, (3) abortionists (4) the California entertainment industry, (5) those who support Al Qaeda, or (6) Muslim extremists?

If I remember correctly, the Iranians have a Chinese "Seersucker" guided missile variant in their military arsenal.
That fits the bill nicely, considering the Iranian aid and comfort to our enemies lately.

You left out communists -- who are in cahoots with all the groups you mentioned, in fact they are using those groups to try to destroy the US from within.

Certainly not terrorist related!! /SARCASM Our alphabets are undoubtedly out of touch with today's reality. Categorizing people as "Whackos" is just what Al Qaeda counts on us doing. They have studied us and know EXACTLY what to expect from us in given situations. Underestimating our enemy will have drastic repercusions.
I killed my lavender plants last summer (don't know why they died). I was very sad to lose both of my plants. I wish you luck with your endeavor. I absolutely love those plants and plan to try it again this year at our new location.

I've been checking regularly for updates on this story. Thanks so much for posting this. This new information just raises more questions about an already suspicious story.

Plane Forced To Land During Bush Visit
Secret Service Interviewing 2 Men
POSTED: 12:16 am EDT April 24, 2004 UPDATED: 10:15 am EDT April 24, 2004
OPA-LOCKA, Fla. -- A small plane was forced to land at an airport Friday night when it allegedly flew into restricted airspace during President Bush's visit to the Miami area, officials said.
Secret Service agents were interviewing two men who were aboard the plane that landed at Opa-Locka Airport just north of Miami, said Miami-Dade County police spokesman Randy Rossman.
The Federal Aviation Administration was "investigating an alleged violation of the presidential temporary flight restriction that occurred this evening," agency spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen said.
She had no further details on the alleged intrusion, but said most noncommercial planes are not permitted to fly in within a radius of 10 nautical miles of where the president is.
Bush was in the Miami suburb of Coral Gables to attend a fund-raiser. Air Force One left Miami around 7:30 p.m. ---END
Also there's this one about crop-dusters.

Well, if that happens -- then we would like you to stay posting here at Free Republic, of course. But you can always go back to It's Happening if you preferred and we could repost your posts there to here.

"New York suburbs will not be affected, only the city center will complete its destruction..." How nice of them to clarify this. At least I'm safe.....yeah, right. Certain NY suburbanites would essentially be stranded with no place to escape except by sea....

Good morning Mama Dearest.
Did you notice in last night's list of links the article regarding a possible problem to vine plants?
Something to read.

This group bears no resemblence to the Muslim sponsored site Global Islamic Media. There will be a website up in a few days globalislamicmedia.com which will defeat the blatant censorship of by American government run Yahoo groups and begin the wave of terrorist hacker attacks on the pitiful efforts of those who would hide the truth about the Bush and his lap dog Blair.
The American and British kill and rape our women and mutilate and disfigure our children. They bomb our holy places and now seek to murder our clerics and holy men.
We are not insurgents, we are freedom fighters seeking to reclaim Palestine which was stolen by the Jews who continue to oppress our people and lie and kill the noble leaders of the Hamas.
For these acts there will be retribution and many more suicide bombings. A great day of destruction is coming for the Amercians and their leaders. And in time each leader who has supported the occupation and enslavement of the Iraqi people will be killed and all of those who try to protect them. Their puppet governement leaders will die and many many freedom fights and brave Muslims who have waited patiently for vengeance will see the Americans die horribly and the cities of Iraq will become a place of death and horror for them.
Watch from the skies, and you will see a wave of destruction sweep across America greater than has ever been before and they will know the humiliation and defeat because of their lies. They seek only to steal the Iraq oil and sell it to their friends, they never intend to leave Iraq but set up military bases and forever oppress our people.
The sons of Allah the most merciful will avenage the rape of our women and slaughter of children. And the time of the Cave of Darkness and the Shadow draws near. Every country who supports the dirty Kafar will be brought to their knees, their railways destroyed, their building blown up and it's leaders killed.
Brother Osama has given you a way to avoid the destruction of your countries and leave our Arab lands in peace. Accept it or perish.
Aljernaan - the chosen servant of Allah - let Jihad begin |
