Thanks rodguy911. That 's Laura Ingraham, not Ann Coulter. Laura was engaged to him & almost on way to marriage, until it broke and Katie Coutic started to date him.

[Carolinamom]

Both Kerry and McCain think more of themselves than we do.

For those interested, some truth from the ground in Iraq. Somethings you also will never hear on any Sunday show.
At the link a video put together by one of our soldiers. The author of the email and the video is the guy standing looking at the paperwork with the two terrorists handcuffed and blindfolded.

Thought you all might to see this. This was sent to me by the solider who wrote the following email. Thanks to Freeper eeevil conservative for working out the tech details so I could post it.
Iraqi Police in action. Words from Iraq.
Personal stuff cut out......

I could wait to tell you what we saw today. As usual we were doing our routine patrols and as we were heading back to Mares. We saw that the IP’s (Iraqi Police) had one of the main roads closed. Shortly after, we realized that they were working on an IED placed on the right of the road exactly where we normally pass by to make a right turn. This people have a great sense of bravery, because even with the limitation on the equipment that they were using to deactivate the IED, this IP’s worked with it fearless. There were basically about 7 IP’s on the ground, one with binoculars, two with a string with a hook in the middle of it and the rest of them pulling security for the ones working directly with the IED. The technique used to deactivate the IED was merely simple. The used the hook to extract the ignition device away from the round (one 155mm). After the ignition device was away from the round, then extracting the round out of the whole was “piece of cake”. I’m glad and thank God for these men, because it could hit any of our Stryker and cause other tragedy like on February 26, 2006.

Some that cranked me up was that while they worked on the IED, none of us got out of the Stryker at least to help pulling security for them. Though the Stryker it self has a .50 cal mounted and I think they were helping that way. In addition, two of my peers were just criticizing the way that these IP’s worked with the IED. Man I just wanted to tell them that if they know as much and they wanted so bad to do some about it they could go out and help them with the problem. The finally shut up when they saw when the IP’s pulled the round out of the hole. I apologize for this, but I needed to get it out of my system because in the way that I see it is that those men saved our sorry asses from getting blow up. Probably the only way we might would realized that it was an IED there is if it would exploded and even kill or injure some one. I hate the fact of people talking smack and not doing anything about it.

Well this incident also remind me couple weeks ago when a SVBIED blow up and couple minutes later an IED went off about 200 meters away from the SVBIED site. When we there about 15 minutes after all this happened, but the must interesting part is who an IA (Iraqi Army) guy crawled like a snake into the hole just to peep and see what was the status of the remaining UXO (Unexploded Ordnance). After he (IA) realized that this rounds didn’t represented a threat (at least to him), he just pulled them out like candies. Even an explosion took place, it had 5 unexploded rounds inside the IED hole and we heard that the explosion from the EID was quite loud. Now you can imagine how much damage this IED would make if it would go off completely.

I know you like to hear about all this, so this is some that has been going on that I think I haven’t share this one with you. I got you some new Iraqi money, the one that doesn’t have the Saddam face on it. You will receive it with the rest of the stuff that I have for you here. In what box is the mouthwash? Take care and keep getting well. Have a great day.

MTP --- Kerry flip-flopping on his comments last year that we should not cut and run. What's changed? We now have a civil war, partly because the admministration has not followed "my suggestions" for solving the problems in Iraq/

Can't make this stuff up folks, Kerry is so full of himself!

God, Kerry now saying he went to the Wall last night. Overwhelmed by the experience, names were added because our government back then did not listen to the people who told them we could not win in Vietnam.

What a traitor, we who were there know about his lies and the country is blessed by his loss in 2004.

[OldFriend]

Wouldn't it be delicious if Hersch was duped by the false info...on purpose from the administration!!!

[Miss Marple]

Regarding my daughter:

She supports the troops and voted for the President, but she is like I was about 20 years ago...believes that what's on the news is always true or they wouldn't say it. I think this experience with the local story has begun to wake her up.

[cardinal4]

Thanks for posting that, Johnnie. According to boobs like Couric and Kerry, the Iraqi police are too incompetent to do anything by themselves..

[EDINVA]

caught the last minutes of Matthews when he credited Edward R. Morrow for saying "the future is not in our stars but in ourselves!" Hey, Chrissy, that quote so long pre-dates Morrow it ain't even funny! To me it was just showing how the celeb-media really does think the world begins and ends with them.

[rodguy911]

great stuff chuck, keep those bats handy.

[CedarDave]

Brit for permanent host of FNC!! No "power player of the week" and one of his funny clips from "Special Report" to end the show.

[eeevil conservative]

Yeah, but I would have rather had Keaunu Reeves win an Oscar that Sean (Fast Times at Ridgemont High) Penn.

oooh!

You got THAT right!

[eeevil conservative]

As I said, he is a dangerous fool.

AMEN!

[MNJohnnie]

Of course Junk Media Bush is "saber rattling" at Iran! Diplomacy not backed by the thread of force is wasted oxygen

[OldFriend]

Doyle was caught in a similar situation when he worked for TIME.

He was NOT hired by the White House. He was already there. Top Secret security clearance is easy to come by. Remember they gave it to Monica when she was cast over to the Pentagon to get her out of slick willie's sight.

[cardinal4]

Its a shame that "Team America" was so crude, the parodies of the likes of Penn, Baldwin, Garofalo, et al, were priceless. A very good rendition of why Hollywood gets exactly ZERO of my money..

[shrinkermd]

More disgusting than Shocking is Senator Spector's subtle failure to defend the President on all issues. This man is constantly sucking up to the MSM and doing his best to appear "neutral and "senatorial."

No one will ever accuse Senator Spector of either gratitude or loyalty. He would not be sitting where he is if it were not for President Bush. President Bush came out and supported the Senator and even helped in fund raising. What a coward Spector is!

[snugs]

Why just to the Catholic Freepers in England the Church of England and other dominations celebrate Palm Sunday. Up to a few years ago the local Church of England Church used to have a live donkey that used to go all round the parish on Palm Sunday with the Guides, Brownies and Scouts.

[arnoldpalmerfan]

It was truly a smear attempt on Russert's part. He didn't ask any other person on the panel about any election contest in which they are involved. Naturally, the questions he asked J.D. about his re-election were asked in a manner made to make J.D. look bad. J.D. handled the questions well. I hope he destroys his primary opponent.

[cardinal4]

Beautiful...!
