Please have mercy on us dial up limited FReepers! Limit the big graphics, post links instead. A brief description of what the graphic is would help:

To all who helped this get started, thank you! Special thanks to null and void for keeping these threads running on the weekends, Mo1 for the screamer, the AdminMods for their tolerance, mhking for the video links, and, of course,...

The only "controversy" was the left wing, as usual, attacking a true hero.

Ollie thwarted Congress and was doing nothing illegal. He thought on his feet and did this country proud defeating Commie thugs in Central America.

Democrats don't like that. F them!

A female POW from the gulf war was interviewed last week. She mentioned that the sexual abuse was not limited to women.. she also said that you are trained that abuse is abuse. It is all degrading & difficult. We must pray for her to find the right people to be with her in this journey or recovery physically, emotonally / mentally & spiritually

[melodie]

o;;ie is making me weep with pride and sadness

[ztiworoh]

I agree completely, Im just saying he's come out the winner in the end, redeeming himself in every way, there's no way the left can criticize him now (though they will anyway if the can)

[AppyPappy]

She mentioned that the sexual abuse was not limited to women

Case in point: Lawrence of Arabia

[umbagi]

I'm huggin' my little ones more these days.

Brings it home, doesn't it? The POWs, MIAs, KIAs, this wonderful rescue, but the downside of the bodies...

I need to call my mother and apologize for not writing more often from 'Nam. As a dad, I now understand better what she must have been going through.

[Diddle E. Squat]

Well they don't want to rush into to much guessing while remains are being identified and families notified.

[DollyCali]

I tried also solider girl & got a message that your page was temp unavailable.. (hundreds of FReepers checking it out (g)

[Mo1]

He is all those things you mention AND Stupid

[prairiebreeze]

Why is Ollie in tears?

[Warren_Piece]

CNN - Two surface to surface missile attacks in Najaf.

[Timeout]

I saw that interview with the female former POW. She said they abused her...but they didn't kill her. The training kicked in and all she cared about was surviving. And she did. Bless her heart.

[Diddle E. Squat]

to=too

[melodie]

o;;ie = ollie

[ztiworoh]

Talking about how much he loves beign in the field, seeing our men work, marvelling at their intelligence, maturity, skill and compassion for the civilians... very moving...

[Fledermaus]

Funny, that grandstanding John Warner was on hyping the "good news" and correctly attacking the idiots in the press standing next to Rummy...

But John was instrumental in Ollie's defeat for Senate in 1994. I'll never forgive that RINO John for that. He's only jumping in front of cameras because he has legitimate military credentials.

But so does that weasel John Kerrey.

I don't like Warner and never will.

" have no problem with women contributing, e.g., on AWACS, supply, etc. It's just that as the risk of capture goes up, my willingness to put them at risk goes down."

Jessica Lynch is a supply clerk. That's her MOS.

She was a supply clerk on the ground, in Iraq, in an area that had a significant risk of capture.

I'm just expressing my opinion. You all that are women, or are husbands or fathers, you all can make your own peace, etc. I'm not trying to change the world, just my part of the world.

It means the owner of the website has a certain limit on how much data can be moved through their website. Once they hit their limit the transfer of data stops and you get a little notice.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

I suspect that FoxNews is honoring the wishes of the military re. the lost POWs and the others are not. Patience.

Nice post, Warren - we are coming.

FN: Ollie North re. the Marines he's with in Iraq: "There's only 5 other people I'd rather be with...that's the woman I married and the 4 children she's caring for."

[ztiworoh]

Woohoo, JD Heyworth, the funniest member of the House IMO, I spent alot of time talking to him when I worked in DC, very nice and intelligent man, but also HUGE, though not "Nadler-sized"
