anyone who is not watching oreilly right now, MUST catch the replay at 11PM. Its amazing, as Col Hunt reads an email from some in the 3rd ID. Its gripping, and graphic, our men are "filling trucks with body parts" or iraqis.

My grandfather was in the motor pool in WWI. His job was to pick up body parts in France. This affected him for his whole life (as I have been told). Picking up body parts is not a good job.

I agree with you.

I took my daughter to lunch at the Golf Course at Tinker AFB today -- very good hamburgers and it was a gorgeous day. They had the news on one of the TVs and some of the military were cheering on the troops when they found out they were getting closer to Baghdad and showed pictures of some of the bombs that had been dropped. Usually the Golf Channel is on!

Sent goosebumps up my spine.

I saw that video off the internet today. More talking heads should have actually watched it before talking about it. It drives me crazy when conservative radio/print/etc personalities start going off the deep end about something and it turns out they have their facts half right. No need to give the idiots in the left something to pick apart.

the grenade isn't thrown into "Bush"'s lap, its tossed to him and it turns out its a lighter. so he lights a cigar with it.

The song's lyrics seemed to be about whether or not she should diet etc to fit the media image of beauty.

but for some reason they are at a fashion show wearing military inspired clothing. at the end there are really quick clips of military hardware in use. I didn't watch it again, but it didn't seem to be anti Op Iraqi Freedom, just kinda sorta anti war.

Sorry, but I couldn't resist.

It is important that the leaders of the world know we have a very powerful and efficient killing machine and we can chew up an entire regime and army very quickly. The leaders of the world will get the clear message even if it is kept from the masses. It is unfortunate but deterrence requires bold and efficient killing periodically to remain effective.

Hell, we should all take up collections for their plane tickets to hell, as it were. I'd be happy to donate to have 10 terrorists make a one-way trip to Baghdad.

The Major made that statement -- about making the death toll VERY public in Arab media for a valid reason and in my opinion was spot on...

First -- the mouthy Arab thugs in the streets have been DEMANDING that Americans come and dare to put foot on sacred Arab ground and meet their death...

Well --- Americans have come, put their feet on the sacred Arab soil and killed 10s of thousands of THEIR BEST...

This should be shoved straight down the throat of the radical mouthy and threatening "Arab street"

The Arab street, should also be encouraged to send all their avid Islamists to Iraq immediately -- and defend their militant view of Islam and slay the infidel.... It would be so much easier to kill the lunatic bastards now, in place and have done with them....

One would think that the "militant Islamists" could at least form up a MILITARY worthy of the name.....or just shut the hell up and live in peace or get killed.....

The Major was correct.....
The Arabs laid down their worthless threat...
The Arab street is no more that a dead end dusty road to nowhere for the fraudulent "warriors" of Islam...
The Islamic "warrior" is capable of attacking only unarmed women and children...

Piss on em...

Semper Fi

"Knee deep in body parts...hauling truck loads of them out of the cities daily..."

Last time I heard such a thing was just after 9-11, in NYC.

You could be right -- probably called you a newbie. Don't worry about stating what you believe though -- if you have any trouble, give me a ping! I can always weigh in for what it is worth!

This thread has reminded of the following quote...

Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit on his hands, raise the black flag, and start slitting throats. --H.L. Mencken

True
But I hope that some here stop and think....
Some of these body parts are from those who had no choice...they would be shot if they refused to fight.
Some reflection is in order.

I don't know where they got the idea of the grenade thrown in his lap . ( I even have a lighter like that .) However--the intent seems to show that after all the killing, let's just light up a cigar and celebrate .I don't think President Bush is smiling because of the loss of lives on both sides . It was a mission that had to be done so that we don't have to endure the horror of another 9-11 in the future . It is about time we went into a conflict with the intent of winning . I honestly think that in the future we will not take a slap in the face and turn the other cheek

From what I have learned from my student ARAB Arabs (as opposed academic, Americanized Arabs), the Arab "street" greatly respects power. They may dislike, or even hate, the U.S., but broadcasting news like this would have a PROFOUND impact on the Arab "street." I guarantee they would tread more lightly around us!

Did you hear Rush today? He had on clips of the Marine Reserve who is filing for conscientious objector status. Some former Marines called in and they sounded like Freepers. This C.O. wannabe was complaining because in boot camp the Marine recruits keep having to yell Kill, Kill, Kill and then is saying he didn't know he would have to kill people.

You Marines are special people and the Marines that called in to take on the C.O. were fantastic.

Eagleburger on Hannity & Colmes, trashing NY Times, giving praise to war plan.

Eagleburger's been great since the war began.

We should take over Al Jazeera and transmit video of waves of RG being turned into hamburger. The "Arab street" should be bombarded with this 24/7, instead of images of civilian casualties. It might just convince a few of them that Allah cannot possibly be God and permit this kind of slaughter of his faithful servants.

That's right. And this is a hell of a payback.

I am watching! I wasn't too impressed with him leading up to the war until near the end at the UN, but he has been fantastic since the War started!

He is taking on Colmes -- said the alternative is to become a turtle!

I did think of that. I wonder how many were forced to fight.

I read here somewhere that one of our guys said "Iraq has cancer, and we are chemotherapy."
