Good Friend Israel...

[mylife]

Mmmmm pierogies

[Piranha]

He mentioned Palestinians, but not Palestine. Peace with "our good friend, "Israel".

[OXENinFLA]

Just so we remember why he mentioned Stadiums.

The thing that the Dems fail to mention when they scoff at the number of troops being supplied by the various nations is that many of these troops belong to the countries various branches of Special Forces. Countries who do not have overwhelming numbers of military personnel, are literally offering up their very best.

How much do you want to bet the undecideds they show tonight on MSNBC criticize the disruptions, say it threw the prez off his stride (I don't think it did, but still...).

I don't know if I can stomach Frank Luntz' hair piece :o)

America has done this kind of work before — and there have always been doubters.

In 1946, 18 months after the fall of Berlin to allied forces, a journalist wrote in the New York Times, "Germany is ... a land in an acute stage of economic, political and moral crisis. European capitals are frightened. In every military headquarters, one meets alarmed officials doing their utmost to deal with the consequences of the occupation policy that they admit has failed." End quote. Maybe that same person's still around, writing editorials.

Fortunately, we had a resolute president named Truman, who with the American people persevered, knowing that a new democracy at the center of Europe would lead to stability and peace. And because that generation of Americans held firm in the cause of liberty, we live in a better and safer world today.

I personally think the Clintons are sitting back LOVING this! Kerry's toast and it is Hillary in 2008..... (they wish!)

[Howlin]

He's "teaching," IMO.

[txradioguy]

"Quoting Kerry when Kerry Insulted all the Countries that helped us"

Everyone has gotten on the PResident for not responding immediately to the stupis stuff Kerry was saying on the stump.

Well it turns out that Pres. Bush was just happyily selling kerry a LOT of rope (i.e. his words and quotes)!

And tonite he's making it into a lovely noose from which to hang sKerry by from now until Nov. 2nd.

[Pyro7480]

Let us never forget!

If history holds, I'd think the internal conflicts would be over pretty quickly. :)
