I'm sure all the networks will be showing this.

He's not preening for a VP slot. Rush said today that Joe pointed out when he quit the race that the Dems were straying dangerously away from a strong national defense policy.

The liberal media does not report positive economic data when it occurs under a Republican administration.

Get a drink,take a walk,..its all about you!

[arasina]

Did you get a load of England's friends? Whoo boy, some weird relationships going on there.

Also, there are so many alternatives to the Partisan Press now that they no longer control the agenda as Cronkrite liked to brag. Subscriptions rates down, ratings down, there are signs that they are losing their stranglehold on public information.

Rummy's polls are in the 60%-70% to stay on the job and those are WAPO and ABC polls.

Shi'ites tell Sadr's men to go home
May 8, 2004 - 8:05AM


Iraqi cleric Moqtada al-Sadr's uprising was dealt a pair of blows as the Shi'ite Muslim establishment in this holy city told them to return to their homes, while US troops killed 20 of his militiamen.

Respected cleric Sheikh Sadreddin Kubbanji issued an unequivocal denunciation of Sadr's Mehdi Army in a sign that US political and military pressure could be bearing fruit and time may be running out on Sadr's month-long insurrection.

"Listen to the advice of the learned ones. You are our beloved youth and we care about you, but go back to your home where you came from and fight the occupation and the Baathists there," Kubbanji told thousands of worshippers at weekly Friday prayers at the Imam Ali Mausoleum, one of the most revered shrines in Shia Islam.

"The Najafis will be responsible for protecting Najaf," he said of the holy city, 130 km south of Baghdad.

He calls Austin home now. That's the only reason I associated him with Austin. But you have to admit he fits the mindset and attitude of most people in Austin.

[Graymatter]

>>Oh great! Just caught the swimmer saying that Rummy should be fired and Colin Powell should be the new SecDef.

Is Powell qualified to be Sec of Defense?

[faithincowboys]

Randy "Duke" Cunningham is a giant in my book. Thank God for Him. Why don't we have more like him in Congress. He is the solitary person in Congress that truly represents America--Randy "Duke" Cunningham is our only hope for the Legislative branch of Government!!


That's how I feel, so sue me!!

[txradioguy]

Another question to ask our "media". Why weren't they all over this story when it first came out in January? Why are they just now acting like this is some American tragedy when it's been out there for 5 months?

[faithincowboys]

No, Powell is weak in the Heart. A real backstabber. See the latest issue of GQ and your question will be answered.

[Howlin]

You're empowering them with your panic.

[LisaMalia]

Oh, Hitlery speaking on CSpan. Why did I not change the channel? When I hear the word "moral" uttered from her lying lips, I cringe.

[woofie]

You ought to turn off the TV, get off FR, and get some fresh air and have a drink.

Yea I find it works good.... I tell my wife someday Im gonna start my second career as an alchoholic

[txradioguy]

"Is Powell qualified to be Sec of Defense?"

IMHO....He's right wher ehe needs to be.

Schwartzkopf would be a better choice for SecDef.

[CasearianDaoist]

That GQ article doid not contain anything but hearsay. It was just the usual liberal fraudulent hit peice.

Go have a beer and take a walk.

[Mo1]

CBS sure is catching a lot of "exclusives" lately, aren't they?

YEP ... I'm thinking there should be an investigation on CBS for obtaining these clasified documents illegally

[Howlin]

Haven't had enough today?

Mark Dayton is going to be on Hardball next.

[Not A Snowbird]

He is the solitary person in Congress that truly represents America--Randy "Duke" Cunningham is our only hope for the Legislative branch of Government!!

Cunningham isn't supposed to represent America, he's supposed to represent the people of his congressional district. And while he's generally well liked there, he's pulled a few maneuvers that didn't go over very well out there with the military community.

But I won't sue you. I know what you mean.

[Howlin]

Fox News just had an alert that England has been charged....courtmarital coming.
