I almost wore my 10 out of 10 t-shirt today, but I will wear it tomorrow, and I'm in the People's Republic of the Upper West Side in NYC.
I'm sure you are sorely mistaken.
My wife and I WILL celebrate tonight. Thanks and God bless to our GREAT men and women in Iraq
I think dov12348 isn't far behind in his journey to Zotland
He humors them. One reporter asked, the president knew about this at 9pm something, and you didn't let us know until this a.m.? We didn't want to wake you up. LOL...right, we could wait hours for you to ask about poll numbers.
dov12348 is now an ex-Freeper.
Mods are in top form this morning!
To Say that Justice has Been Done is an Understatement! I'll Go and Read More of the Details about this Now.
Yeah... the press reaction so far:
"When are we getting out?"
"Are we going to reduce troops now that we got him?"
"Does this mean its all over now, if not why not?"
"Does it affect the calls for an immediate pull out?"
"If he can just be replaced, why does it matter?"
"God, I love the sight of rubble in the morning..."Second that :)
I only wish our FRiend could have been here to share in our joy! Maybe I'll try to call her!
Paul Johnson, this is for you!
two bombs a dropping...

They really seem upset about this news of Zarqawi
