Speaking of misidentified aircraft, did you see the bit on Fox News last night where they were describing the air assetts used in the attack? They said cruise missles, Stealth Bombers and B-52's and showed pix of each one. then they mentioned the B1 Bomber the pix they showed was of a twin tailed Tomcat (F16?).

Don't forget wood heat.

"I'm sick of seeing all these peace protestors all over the local news. Makes me want to gag."

I got this email yesterday...

If you happen upon a Peace Rally supporting no action against Bin Laden:

1) Approach the ignorant, liberal person(s) talking about peace and saying there should be "no retaliation"

2) Have a brief conversation with them and ask if military force is appropriate.

3) When he/she says, "No." ask him, "Why not?"

4) He will say, "Because that would just cause more innocent deaths, which would be awful, and we should not cause more violence."

5) Punch him in the face . . . hard.

6) When he gets up to punch you, point out to him that it would be a mistake (and contrary to his values) to punch you because he would be causing more violence.

7) When he agrees with you that he has pledged not to commit violence, punch him in the face again . . . only harder this time.

8) Repeat steps 2 through 7 until he understands that sometimes it is necessary to punch back.

I also met my husband on the internet. We highly recommend it!

Jeez, that story about Mullah Omar is kind of sad. That's not to say he doesn't deserve to be taken out, but suffering from brain seizures and making car noises like a kid because of shrapnel in the brain is a bit sad.

Yeah it's got me in tears. Perhaps we could somehow direct a microwave beam at his turbaned squash and heat up the shrapnel in his brain. I bet he'd stop making the car noises and just start screaming full time.

Oh my...I have an exam tonight...please make this stuff stop! How can I study when there is so much going on! Hostages, plane crashes, anthrax, bombs. I'd rather be here than reading tax law! Humm, what to do...what to do....

They love the Taliban in Pershwar. Mostly because they don't actually live under their regime!

Exactly. Wish a few more hair-trigger FReepers will think before they rant on about their fears and conspiracy theories regarding possible terrorist actions.

Deal with facts not rumor. If you are scared keep it to yourself and deal with the task at hand.

If your time is up, it's up, no use worrying yourself into an ulcer or heart attack.

Take prudent measures to protect your loved ones and property, but don't let the bastards get you spooked - that's what they want, an America in panic.

Thanks. Just want to make sure, we got the RIGHT dude. We need to first get the top guys in the gang before we start nuking them :P

Well, the guy I'm interested in is an Irish Catholic democrat (well former democrat). I'm a Welsh/Scotish Holy Ghost (tongue talking) Republican. I must have a screw loose somewhere!
