If Clinton was a sailor, he'd have a girl in every port.

I saw Dr. Bob Arnott, on MSNBC, give this report at 4 pm today.

He also said he had been to 11 hospitals, and not one had any civilians injured from US bombs. He was stunned.

I like Dr. Bob. He should be on 24/7.

The reasons we didn't go to Bagdad in '91 was because we were in Kuwait under the auspices of the U.N. only to drive the Iraquis out of Kuwait. Also we were based in Saudi Arabia who would not have allowed us to continue to use the bases and our wide support would have crumbled. We are very fortunate not to be hamstrung by the U.N. this time.
The media was also screaming about the civilians who would be killed if we "dared" to go to Bagdad.

I saw a Kurdish woman on tv two weeks ago. She had a son named 'Dick Cheney' (the first Gulf war). She said if Bush succeeded in ousting Saddam she would name her next child after Bush.
