If pictures are indeed worth a thousand words, the contrast between these fore and after pix speaks volumes.

They're probably keeping a poker face to hold in their dissapointment that Bush is delaying the war another month to fiddle with the UN. (half-joking)

Pictures speak a thousand words, I think this says one word


War

[Volunteer]

These folks know the truth: it is going to be short, brutal, bloody, and we are going to win.
My only question is are we going to unleash some of the "black project" weapons?
Make no mistake, the war started sometime ago. I pray that we win quickly.

Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld leaves the White House after he and military commanders met with President Bush (news - web sites) and his national security team Wednesday morning, March 5, 2003. In a strategy Pentagon (news - web sites) officials are calling ``shock and awe,'' U.S. forces plan to drop 10 times the bombs in the opening days of the air campaign in Iraq (news - web sites) than they did in the first Persian Gulf war, officials said Wednesday.

What was Ascroft doing at this meeting???

[LarryM]

Bush had better have told them no to come back until they have Saddam's head on a pike.

[OXENinFLA]

I can't wait to see the Presser they gave today.

[Uncle Miltie]

Gonna be a whole lot of scorched bodies. No joy, man. No joy.

If pictures are indeed worth a thousand words, ... these fore and after pix speaks volumes.

Ok. I'll bite.

Whaddaya think these pix are speaking? Titles of the volumes will do, thank you very much.

[Mike Darancette]

The "after picture" looks like men that have just been given a date certain and a plan of attack.

Go with God.

[Dialup Llama]

There's a druge siren on. Drudge is saying that Bush made a decision Wednesday. The result of that meeting apparantly is captured in the pics.

[OXENinFLA]

Press conff on C-span NOW.

[ricpic]

What is this, a tea reading convention? These men spend their whole careers perfecting unreadable faces. There's no saying what went on in the meeting.

[VaBthang4]

Time to go to work.

[marvlus]

For some reason, I'm not seeing the after pic.

[SeeRushToldU_So]

Game faces on!

BIG REALITY BUMP

[savedbygrace]

The second picture doesn't seem to be there. Could you try posting it again?

What do the photos say to me?

Photo #2 shows 2 men with faces that look absolutely normal for the situation - i.e. neither of them are talking to anyone or looking anyone in the face at the moment the photo was taken.

Photo #1 shows 2 men at either end of the photo with normal faces. They obviously can't hear the conversation of the other 3 men. The 2 men towards the middle who are facing the camera and laughing have just heard Ashcroft say something funny. Perhaps he is telling them all the "French Jokes" he read off of FreeRepublic earlier in the day.
