"But the liberals in this nation are going to place the blame squarely at the feet of those of us on the conservative side of the fence. "If we hadn't gone to war in the first place, none of this would have happened," is what they'll say."

9-11 happened before we went to war. In fact we went to war, because of 9-11. As Bush said: "The terrorists were at war with us, but we weren't at war with them".

Right you are Michael.

I predict a rise in support for the war on terrorists.

Instead of all the misguided blame, the demolibs could use their old Waco Tactic....

IF IT WAS GOOD ENOUGH FOR TEXAS, IT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR IRAQ

The terrorists in Iraq have turned mosques into armed fortresses. Our troops can’t attack these “holy places”. Yes, I know it’s our policy to not destroy anyone’s “church”. But sometimes we also make exceptions when the “need” arises. Whatever your opinion of the Mt. Carmel meltdown, you have to admit it was effective and thorough. And no one, except Tim McVeigh complained much or held the US Government accountable.

Give the residents, aka “collateral damage” 24 hours notice to get out of town to specified camps. Collect all weapons.

Take enough troops to surround every mosque that won’t open up. Take ‘em out of S. Korea, Kosovo, Haiti, and every other “gimme” state that the U.S. defends while they only complain. As for Kosovo, we’ve already messed that up with the UN, Wes Clark and Nato’s help to ever make amends for that travesty.

Get the snipers and shoot anyone trying to escape a hostile mosque.

Cut off the water and electricity. Turn on the flood lights and get out Nancy Sinatra’s “boots” music. Make it REALLY loud.

Wait ‘em out. How long? 30 to 60 days? Then call Janet Reno to find out where to get the CS Gas. Get the tanks, flame throwers and every munition known to man.

David Koresh and his misguided flock considered their “compound” a sacred place. Theirs was a cult, after all, filled with brainwashing, exploitation, intimidation and danger. Whatever the “threat” to the rest of us, those 80 people never killed 3000 of our citizens and over 600 of our young people defending us all, much less put a hole in our economic structure that we’ll be paying off for generations, if we survive this mess called “Iraq”.

What do you say to Nick Berg's family?

Well, Nick Berg's father had this to say: "I think a lot of people are fed up with the lack of civil rights this thing has caused," he said. "I don't think this administration is committed to democracy." Nick Berg's father has been anti-war from the start, is involved with ANSWER, and is using his son's death for political purposes. However, the father also said his son was for President Bush and did not agree with the father's point of view.

AMEN!

THANKS.

You it right on the money Michael. The libbies keep nattering about the stupid pictures. They are the ones that believe in moral relativity. They are the ones that believe if it feels good do it. They are the ones who believe in social promotion of army generals. And they are ones who believe just because some bonehead put a pair of panties on a prisoner (who was probably a killer and rapist) it is the equavalant of beheading a man who was only there to help Iraq build their country up. These stupid people would be the first to help the Islamofascists if they invaded here. Then they would wonder why they were being killed along with other Americans.
