NEAR FALLUJAH, Iraq, Oct. 29 -- U.S. Marines are preparing for a decisive battle in the Sunni Triangle area west of Baghdad, where rebels are using violence and intimidation to extend their influence out from the city of Fallujah, senior commanders said Friday.

Well, I had sort of broken myself from that except for once in a while (not counting from here on until the election is over!)

knows what he is doing. He has both eyes open while sighting through a scope. :-)

How many photos have I seen of people sighting with one eye closed?

Well lets pray for a landslide or we will be up for months.

"We have no choice -- it is either victory or martyrdom."

Woohoo--martyrdom it is. This is long overdue. Thank GOD for our brave troops. GOD watch over them. Thanks for the ping.

"How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property - either as a child, a wife, or a concubine - must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men."

Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen: all know how to die. But the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytising faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science - the science against which it had vainly struggled - the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome."

You're welcome. And tell Michael that the enemy in America are Communists, as his guest, Richard Dreyfus, admitted today (Progressive, which we all know is code for Communist in Hollweird) on his show...and I would slap Richard Dreyfus for the wussy, huffy, elitist, pig Communist bit*h that he really is btw.

Here's another good one. Edwards vs. Bush Primping

WP::Insurgents have controlled Fallujah since April, when Marines laid siege to the city, but an offensive was called off under pressure from the White House...

Since when does a CIC put "pressure" on the military to get the military to do what he wants?

A CIC is in the chain of command and can give orders -- from the top.

[steplock]

We are tired of waiting! It is time to close in and DESTROY the enemy!

If some reporters, LAWYERS, activist judges, and politicians (especially some from NY and MASS and other NE states) just happen to be in between ... GREAT! FIRE!!!

WP:In Fallujah, about 50 religious leaders met with members of the Shura Council of Mujaheddin, the self-appointed group that governs the city. The council closed the meeting to reporters, but a source familiar with the discussions said the group agreed to issue a fatwa, or religious order, calling for a holy war if U.S. forces pushed into Fallujah.

An unnamed source tells he Post that the Council issued a fatwa. Isn't a fatwa a public decree? This sounds like a rather meek way of doing it, or maybe they didn't even issue a fatwa.
