We need to do SUMPTIN, this is getting OLD.
Tomorrow Jacques al Qerri will tell us all how, due to his intimate friendships with Kofi Annan and dozens of other major world leaders, none of this would happen if he were POTUS. He may even say he met al Sadr on one of his "super secret" Cambodia-style recon missions.
bttt
The shrine has been rebuilt twice in it's history. I guess they can rebuild it again.
The "foreigners" are most likely Sunni, and this is a Shia mosque.
And yet, every lefty intimates that unless we grovel to them, we're somehow endangering the war on terror. France and Germany are cooperating with us (more or less) on intel matters. It behooves them too, the Islamists hate them as much as they hate us.
Say what!!!??? He ran his swift boat up the Euphrates River on Thanksgiving day of 1969? And was only denied his Medal of Honor because the mission was a covert operation??? And the memory is seared... seared into him???

"Are you feeling lucky punk? Well, are you?...Go ahead...make my day"
Yeah its been a couple of weeks, we want a new plot line.
Sorry about the sarcasm but Freepers we need to face the facts, its going to take a long time to bring democracy to this part of the world. Kerry and the D's are counting on us (the people of the USA) to get restless and demand instant success.
In fact I think Kerry may win because we are already tired of reading and hearing about Iraq and the war on terror.
