Adam Housley of Fox news just had a breaking story that Kuwait television is reporting that a couple of Al Jazeera reporters were chased out of Basra by an angry mob upset over how Al Jazeera has been reporting on the region. The Kuwaitis let them in in order to rescue them.

here's a general technique: right click on the image, then pick copy img source. You can see the other choices avail. also. This one's at Jeff Head's site, so it won't go away soon.

Time to call a stockbroker.

Short sales on al-Jazeera are going to be a good idea, I think. :)

America is fulfilling it's destiny, George Walker Bush was the chosen one, and the hole has been punched in the dam. Democracy will flood that region and the world will finally realize what the United States stands for and means.

I tremble at the possibilties. What a colossal boon this could be. The entire course of the history of the Middle East region could be changed. How important is another four years for George W. Bush now?

A good indication to the French that they probably won't want to participate in the reconstruction, even if we allow it.
