And that scares the troglydites in the little third world, socialist, pissant states.

Chirac and his U.N. tried. But France has billions of francs in Iraqi drilling contracts, not to mention all the others, so they are opposing deposing Saddam as unjust.

Your attitude about money is probably why you can go out and buy pretty much what you want. :) That is ment as a compliment.

...I wish I could remember the exact wording, because it was very ominous...

I saw that on TV, and was also struck by how ominous it sounded and by the look on the guys face as he spoke. As near as I can remember, he answered two questions:

Q - Were you comfortable?
A - No we weren't comfortable, but there were other people there who were more uncomfortable than us.

Q - Did they hurt you?
A - No they didn't hurt us. They sure as hell hurt some other people.

They have a support network of 100,000 working their way toward Baghdad right now.

That will make quite a picture when our boy's free those poor bastard's from Saddam's hell holes.


i guess it is obvious that they don't want any pictures of the liberation of the Iraqi people, hence they ship out the journalists at this time.

I'm travelling in America.

Going to see some Civil War battlefields in a few weeks.

Going to see our National Parks and monuments. Going to our nations capitol.

There's plenty to see in America. I've been to Europe, and to England and Scotland. I've seen how they live. I couldn't wait to be back on U.S. soil. America is still the prettiest country in the world.

How great is a country where I can eat 24 hours a day? Drive from coast to coast on the best freeway system in the world. Visit deserts, mountains, praries, oceans, lakes, etc. See the largest trees on earth, the largest hole in the ground on earth, some of the tallest mountains on earth, the best wine growing region on earth, the most recongizable landmarks on earth - wonders of the world, in fact.

Screw the world. I'll stay right here in my own country, and I'll see every inch of it, and I'll visit with my own countrymen, and I'll spend my hard earned dollars on my own people, in my own nation.

I wouldn't p!ss on the rest of the world if it was on fire.

I'm confused. Aren't these the journalists that Jesse Jackass was going to rescue from Iraq?

I wasn't kidding. I'm filled with hate for 99% of the rest of this planet these days.

Every day I open the paper, every new outrage, every new insult, every comment that just reeks of envy and jealousy and hatred for us; jealousy and envy for how powerful we are, how good we have it - it makes me hate 'em even more.

Just when I think my ire has reached its threshold, some foreigner in some pissant nation opens his gaping pie-hole and spews forth some new insult to my intelligence and my nation, and my threshold pushes into the red zone.

They're all filthy, degenerate, boy-buggering, European rotters and the rest are simply third-world parasites, and they can all burn in hell.

Gimme an army big enough, and put me in charge for one week.

That's how I feel right now.

Mr McAllester and Mr Saman, 29, arrived in Baghdad a month ago with a group of “human shields”... Miss Bingham, 34, once a photographer for Al Gore,... Johan Rydeng Spanner, a 28-year-old Danish photographer

They say a neo-Conservative is a Liberal who has been mugged.

My guess is, these people will be speaking and writing from the right side of the spectrum from this date forward!

You are giving voice to much of the anger I have been feeling since September 2001. Personally, I wouldn't mind taking the quickest way to win this war, which is a nuke in the heart of Baghdad. I know it isn't possible politically, but that's the depth of my anger.

Trust me -- I didn't think you were kidding. You certainly conveyed a lot of passion. I don't get a lot of the down right rottenness with which Americans are viewed and treated at this point in time. As much as various people try to explain the "other culture", most of it boils down to jealousy, hatred and a complete lack of understanding with regard to Americans. I'm tired of it too.

Anymore, when I hear about French Canadians booing 12 year old kids, or booing our National anthem, or the scads of other nasty treatments meted out these days, I say to myself, "Screw them -- payback is a BiTXX." As a nation, we are good natured, patient, tolerant and positive -- and we've got a long memory and can be quite aggressive in delivering payback after we've reached the "tipping point". I think many of us have reached that point.

I just hope, that as a nation, we are all filled with the resolve to settle accounts when this war is done.

They feel rage? They hate us?...Their hatred, and their rage, is a drop in the bucket, it's a fart in the wind, compared to my hatred and rage, and I know that I'm not alone in this feeling. I know I'm just one of millions that feel this way.

Americans are slow to rage, but when kindled, there is nothing on earth like it.

I want them to see it. I want them to feel it. I want them to tremble. I want them to fear us. I want the words "the Americans are coming" to be a phrase around the world that mothers use to terrify their disobedient children into behaving. As the Roman mothers would tell their children "Hannibal is at the gates!", so I want "the Americans will get you" to send gut-churning, fear and shivers down the spines of every one of these degenerate, pissant nations in years to come.

I hope the world sees our rage in various forms in the coming years...

I, for one, am boycotting all things French and German. I am working actively with my family and friends to encourage them to not deal with any French or German companies, not to travel to these regions, not to buy their cars, not to do anything that will economically aid any business in these nations. We just struck the first couple of blows. Two BMW purchases were turned into purchases of a Ford and Toyota (since Japan has been one of our biggest supporters, I was proud to support them).

I want them to hurt...I want their economies crushed...I want them to "feel my pain"...and I'm doing my own small part with my "boycott crusade".

This is beyond rage, for me...it's vendetta.

Glad they're out. I hope they will gain a better appreciation of what the troops are trying to accomplish in Iraq. Freedom isn't free.
