Ping to 5129 - ain't it great!

[GOPyouth]

DO you think the officials have disappeared?

[Fledermaus]

When do the "2 billion dead Iraqi innocent women and children" lies start on CNN?

[Jackie-O]

Amazing, INDEED! This will be a real eye opener for the WHOLE Arab world and I pray this will go a long way to healing all of the wounds that have been inflicted to the Western world and quell all the hatred towards the US. There are still many fanatic Muslim Madmen still at large, but their number are dwindling thanks to this devotion to the War on Terror. The sooner we rid the world of the likes of Al Jazeera and Leftist-Press,(wankers) the sooner we can get back to all "GETTING ALONG"

[Sacajaweau]

Of all days to have to work. Got to hear Rummy though and the dethroning scene.

A Noble Day innitiated by Noble Men for a Noble Cause.

May the Iraqi People Rule Wisely and enjoy their Freedom. May they Always Respect the United States and the other Nations of the World Who Cared.

FOFL ... Now he is counting to 20 ..

[Dog]

Counting to 18 now....LMAO!!!!!!

[steveegg]

Watch it, he's warmed up now!

That means we can put ice cream on him without watching it shatter.

[socal_parrot]

He can count!

[boreddough]

Someone stop these tables turning.... i'm getting sick

[Timeout]

Sad to say, he's getting high praise from HQ for his work today.

(He can count! all the way up to 18!)

Anyway, we'll just never know what he would've done if there had really been a long battle for Baghdad.

[SoldiersGirl]

lol
remember according to abc and tv guide, pretty chicken shows absolute grace under fire.

[Jackie-O]

Aw come on, don't be shy!

[socal_parrot]

Did he just say "batteries" with an Iraqi accent?

[Timeout]

No! That was grace under the bed!

[Dog]

He's confused now..

[cyncooper]

It's very informal, and uniterrupted

The Saturday night the week before he died, MSNBC spoke with David Bloom. First they couldn't get the audio to work so they spoke with him and his sound guy was relaying questions from the studio. Then they broke away and went back to him about 10 minutes later with sound up. They proceeded to stay with him for 25 straight minutes. I was transfixed as they were in motion through the desert thousands of miles away.

I looked for his reports...

I can't share your optimism. In spite of all of the positive news today, the left is busily putting a negative spin on everything. People that I have spoken to who were against this war, remain defiant and adamant that it is unjust and unnecessary. Nothing will shut these people up, but maybe it will effect real changes for the Iraqi people.

[Timeout]

Me, too. And, think, Bloom was working without script or teleprompter.

This guy's a total turd. He'll go far at ABC.

Great picture. I don't know whether or not Iraqi men are friendly with little kids like this.

But Americans definitely are -- stuff like this has got to make a huge impression on the regular folks over there.
