So, you would be the transmission, then? Give me a break...your post is giving me gas, but, that's OK, I like gas...being an engine and all.

All I can say is I am going to lose lots of my male/female students cuz' they all want to be Marines...and who can blame them? My PR students are saying stuff like "it's cool to be a gringo" and "we are yankees and we are proud" and stuff like that. I just let them enjoy it. The left wing profs are silent and morose and getting worse by the day. The forces of conservative life are jubilant however!

Since the commentators don't know a Tomahawk missile from a Bradley Fighting Vehicle, it all looks "fierce" to them.

"Fierce" and "determined." Don't forget "determined."

Saving the picture BUMP!

I would also add that we are not raping every female from 8 to 80.

The Soviets were brutal. Of course the Nazis were no better to the Soviets.

Rather than strategizing for the future, they are living frozen in the past. Their whole platform now is "Bush was never elected" and conspiracy theories about how this war is just a re-election tool, which 85% of the public is not buying.

It's even worse than that for them. As independent communications media proliferate (talk radio, internet) and people become more knowledgable (yes, even given the government school system), they are losing their capability of broadcasting "the big lie" (give us all of your earnings and let us control your life because we know best). The war, and post-9-11 viscerial reaction, is causing more folks to pay more attention. And to see and reject the leftist argument. IMO, they are doomed, and we are witnessing the middle of the end of Marxism.

U.S. Marines have located an underground nuclear complex near Baghdad that apparently went unnoticed by U.N. weapons inspectors.

Hidden beneath the Iraqi Atomic Energy Commission's Al-Tuwaitha facility, 18 miles south of the capital, is a vast array of warehouses and bombproof offices that could contain the "smoking gun" sought by intelligence agencies, reported the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.

"I've never seen anything like it, ever," said Marine Capt. John Seegar. "How did the world miss all of this? Why couldn't they see what was happening here?"

Marine nuclear and intelligence experts say that at least 14 buildings at Al-Tuwaitha indicate high levels of radiation and some show lethal amounts of nuclear residue, according to the Pittsburgh daily. The site was examined numerous times by U.N. weapons inspectors, who found no evidence of weapons of mass destruction........

HUT!

Right you are. I wish every hand-wringing thumb-sucking whinging carping lefty critic could read 'Red Storm on the Reich'. They talk about our 'brutal' invasion and occupation of Iraq, but they have ZERO f**king historical perspective by which to judge us. . .

LOL!

Problem is that they don't play the whole build-up to the statue falling. When the Marine draped the Stars and Stripes over the face of the statue, there were loud cheers and clapping. No replay has included the cheers or the Iraqi that was waving our flag when it came down and their flag went up.

I have read about the siege and rape of Berlin in general history books of World War 2. However, the horror did not come across untill I saw a discussion of it on C-SPAN.
I am a son and grandson of Holocaust survivors. Feeling sorry for Germans of that era does not come easily. However, how can any human not be revolted by the stories of Russian officers and the NKVD exhorting the violation.
It is all to easy to hate Soviets and Nazis and ignore that we are dealing with people and even some innocents.

Really? I didn't see it again! :(
