I'm humming "Disco Inferno" right now ... "Burnin', burnin'"

Why does this not bother me? I guess it's because we have about 5,000 more to go before we even the score. God bless America, God bless George W. Bush. It takes a real man to do the job right!

...said Western countries were in danger of losing the propaganda battle for Arab and Muslim support.

We were in danger of that the minute we decided to do ANYTHING about the deaths of our people. And I don't think Bush is doing half enough!!! My G_d, the man has shown restraint that borders on the passive. There will be NO satisfying these people. We might as well just do what needs to be done and figure out another way of operating our automobiles and power plants.

Thanks for the article!

Time for all Taliban gangsters and supporters to quit wasting Oxygen and causing Global Warming when they exhale! Clear the planet of these scumbags!

But the campaign against the Islamic purist Taliban stoked growing anti-Western anger among Muslims from Jakarta to Cape Town and British Prime Minister Tony Blair (news - web sites) said Western countries were in danger of losing the propaganda battle for Arab and Muslim support.

Can't lose what we never had. Obviously these folks like terrorists and like to support them.

This is still a weak response.

A U.S. Air Force sergeant on active duty in the northern Arabian peninsula became the first American fatality of the war when he was killed in an accident.

First? Hardly- we have over 5,600 casualties already, and before that those killed in the Khobar Towers, embassies, and USS Cole, etc . We're just now getting around to responding to those initial attacks. The war didn't begin with us retaliating. It began with terrorist acts.

"Former U.S. President Bill Clinton canceled a trip to the United Arab Emirates ``due to the current international situation,'' organizers said."

WHAT!!!?????

What I thought was interesting is how the American company Reuters leads off with the Taliban's version of the days events, cuts to the British version of the days events, very briefly moseys on over to the American statements, then hurries back for more breathless quotes from the Afghanis about civilian deaths.

Shouldn't the Afghani press be on our side, just to even the score?

The rest of the world has been conditioned by eight years of Clinton's opinion-poll-presidency. They had better get used to the new president who has sent many an American to their death in spite of appeals to the contrary.
W is committed to the long haul, better wake up and smell the coffee.

Note to Osama, Saddam et al:
You can no longer hide in the villages behind women and children.
We are hunting you, and when we find you we will bring upon your head the wrath of the most powerful force this world has known. The blood of the innocents you choose to take with you, in our country and yours, will be on your hands alone. You may have finally learned why we value our freedom so much, because you have breathed your last free breath. Every second you exist know that you are on borrowed time, and we are coming to collect.

Did I forget to mention: this is just the beginning. And it's not over until WE say it's over.

"Former U.S. President Bill Clinton canceled a trip to the United Arab Emirates"

Oh, noooo... please don't cancel out, Bill. Please go to all the Muslim states and convey our
heartfelt appreciation for the friendships we have with the people there. Have a good trip.
Take Rev.JJ along with you.

****One thing becoming increasingly clear to me is the need to upgrade our media and public opinion operations in the Arab and Muslim world. There is a need for us to communicate effectively.****

Translation: We need to turn the CIA and the Brit Secret Service loose on the Arab media and give them total free reign. Do whatever it takes to put these scum under our control.

The U.N. World Food Program said it was racing against time to send badly needed food shipments into Afghanistan before winter set in. ``It is one of the most difficult tasks WFP has faced in its history. The harsh winter is approaching and many human lives are at stake,'' WFP spokesman Francesco Luna told a news conference in Islamabad.

The Afghani people have been starving for years under the Taliban regime. But now that this conflict gives them the ability to put an anti-American spin on relief efforts, feeding these people is suddenly the most important mission in the history of the UN.

This article is seriously pissing me off. What idiot posted it?

[Movemout]

Maybe we can create the first International Park at Afghanistan. We could give the greenies a whole country to practice with. They could reintroduce endangered species from the world over. They could sit in trees and fall out when they so desired, admire snail darters, kiss spotted owls, and frolic with sucker fish. I think the idea has merit.

Put Tom Osborne in charge of the bombing.

We need about 700,000 to cover the Vegas spread.

What I find hilarious, besides the Taliban being flattened one night at time, are all these nations who think that they could take us on. I mean let's do a reality check. If we quit buying oil from nations like Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, and Indonesia and sucked it up as a nation (yes, that means rationing) for say, oh a month or so, they would go broke and be screwed. Instability would be the catch phrase and then they would beg for our help. The hypocrites who cry at us and hate us will be the same who beg for their lives from us. And I like it that way.

Also, I would accept rationing to teach these bastards a lesson. Much as it would hurt my gas guzzling SUV, it's fine with me, if it hurts our enemies.

Damn, you are getting to be really good! That sounded like Bill Maher and Bill Clinton rolled into one response!

Typical Reuters left wing extremist BS! So thanks for being the idiot who posted it!
