Republicans Block Surrender (AP Breaking)
ASS press

Posted on 07/18/2007 8:23:55 AM PDT by SoFloFreeper

Senate Republicans have mustered enough votes to scuttle a proposed troop withdrawal from Iraq. A roll call is continuing and the vote is not final.

I don’t believe Osama bin Laden is a member of the Saudi Royal Family.

What is your source?

OK, he’s not. His family and the royals are very well connected. Even so, he could find cover in Saudi Arabia from a wealthy protector, who could also possibly be a member of the royal family.

I admit it makes for good fiction, but sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction. I’m still not sold he’s hiding in a cave somewhere in Pakistan.

OK, that makes more sense. I had a ‘pleasantly surprised’ reaction to the AP. I thought they were caught with their pants down in their haste to be the first.

Back to “business” as usual.

I almost agree, except for the "change in leadership". If the RNC leadership finds that there is NOTHING they can do to get conservatives to send them money, they will be forced to appeal to other people who WILL send them money, and that will be the RINOs. So the RNC will end up more liberal than ever.

I was thinking that, by eliminating some RINOs, the conservatives who are left will change the RNC leadership. I'm kind of fuzzy about how the RNC leadership is elected

It would be good to block surrender. In the years to come, which is what all this is about, the resources of the region will have to be kept available. Surrender would lead directly to chaos since no other power on earth would be able to both keep order at all and permit development.

Perhaps we know exactly where he is. Perhaps we’ve known where he is since November 2001. As such, we’ve had his hideouts bugged and therefore know exactly what he and his followers are up to, thus enabling us to thwart his every move. Wouldn’t that be something?

I think you're onto something. Of course it was the email intercept program that enabled us to know this.

Subject: The Cave

Hi guys. We've all been putting in long hours but we've really come together as a group and I love that. Big thanks to Omar for putting up the poster that says "There is no I in team" as well as the one that says "Hang In There, Baby." That cat is hilarious. However, while we are fighting a jihad, we can't forget to take care of the cave. And frankly I have a few concerns.

First of all, while it's good to be concerned about cruise missiles, we should be even more concerned about the scorpions in our cave. Hey, you don't want to be stung and neither do I, so we need to sweep the cave daily. I've posted a sign-up sheet near the main cave opening.

Second, it's not often I make a video address but when I do, I'm trying to scare the most powerful country on earth, okay? That means that while we're taping, please do not ride your razor scooter in the background. Just while we're taping. Thanks.

Third point, and this is a touchy one. As you know, by edict, we're not supposed to shave our beards. But I need everyone to just think hygiene, especially after mealtime. We're all in this together.

Fourth: food. I bought a box of Cheez-Its recently, clearly wrote "Osama" on the front, and put it on the top shelf. Today, my Cheez-Its were gone. Consideration. That's all I'm saying.

Finally, we've heard that there may be American soldiers in disguise trying to infiltrate our ranks. I want to set up patrols to look for them. First patrol will be Omar, Muhammed, Abdul, Akbar, and Richard.

Love you lots.

Osama

And the democrats want to kill this effort to intercept the communications of the enemy.

Why did Harry Reid vote “nay?” Is that so he can move for reconsideration?

“I don’t believe Osama bin Laden is a member of the Saudi Royal Family.

What is your source?”

“But Osama bin Laden was Saudi, of course, and he was not just any Saudi. The bin Ladens were one of a handful of extremely wealthy families that were so close to the House of Saud that they effectively acted as extensions of the royal family.”

FYI from Salon no less...

I know who bin Laden is and his family.

My post responded to another Freeper who contended that Obama (oops!) was a member of the Saudi royal family — he isn’t.

End of discussion.

I emphasized twice to the RNC caller that while I'm not sending money now, I have been a contributing member for decades .....and will be again when I see some stiff-spined GOP leadership.....and when the amnesty farce is trashcanned.....and when RINO Martinez (my Senator, alas) is kicked upstairs from the RNC chair.

Of course, I contribute to conservative candidates of my choice.....and am delighted to say I sent off a nice contribution to FR a couple days ago.

The east-coast liberals will never receive a dime of my money through the RNC.

We must fight the deadliest enemy the USA has ever faced, todays so called democratic party. This party is now a haven for Marxists, socialists and outright communists.
Dingy Harry Reid is more dangerous to our freedoms than 100 Osama Bin Ladens.
The so called democrats are openly supportive of all enemies of the United States.
We need to fight this left wing traitor trash with all our might in the hopes that a Free Republic may survive.

Can’t figure out why they need to sleep when pulling an all nighter. Many of us get up in the Monday morning and are still awake the next morning after finishing the night shift.
