Nope, absolutely no excuse. Putin is a big disappointment.
In looking at their news, it does give perspective on our own news and the truths our news does tell. Sort of makes me gag to admit that, but the Russian web site was a lying rag.

Was it my imagination or did Jeff look like his eyes welled up a little when he said that?

I believe that Greta likely has a condition called Bells palsy. Facial nerve is effected and causes the droop of the mouth and sometimes eye. Not all that uncommon.

Thanks, I thought it might have been a result of her plastic surgery....
To: prairiebreeze
My sister-in-law had Bell's and most of the effects gradually wear off and other parts of the brain compensate, but ther is still a slight paralysis that will remain for some time, if not permanently.

May Jessica live a long and happy life.

I wonder if Al Jazeera will report that they were booted out. Of course, they will, they're objective and show both sides, letting the viewer decide. That guy on O'Reilly last night said so. [/End sarcasm]

That just makes me so proud to be an american girl!!! Amen. Jessica's our anti-Madeline Albright. The world may forgive us yet for Hillary. Young girls finally have a role model who doesn't hate men, doesn't exploit her sex, or step on others to get ahead. (^;

U.S. FORCES BLOW UP IRAQI PIPELINE TO SYRIA
(portion of story follows)
ABU DHABI [MENL] -- U.S. special operations forces are said to have blown up an Iraqi pipeline that delivered more than 200,000 barrels of oil a day to Syria.
The Kuwaiti Al Rai Al Aam daily reported on Wednesday that U.S. forces sabotaged the Iraqi oil pipeline to Syria last week in an operation in northwestern Iraq. The newspaper quoted U.S. sources as saying the forces also blew up a railroad link between Iraq and Syria.
Until the start of the U.S.-led war against Iraq, Syria obtained 250,000 barrels of oil per day through two pipelines that stemmed from the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk. One pipeline reached the Syrian port of Banyas for export. The other provided oil directly to the Syrian national energy grid.
The U.S. sources said the destruction of the main pipeline came amid a warning by Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld for a halt to Syrian military supplies to the regime of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. The newspaper reported that on Monday the pumping station on the Iraqi side of the pipeline had broken down.

Maybe they don't want them broadcasting people celebrating in the streets, tearing down statues of SH and cheering our troops. That's the most encouraging speculation I've heard yet.
