Here are a couple.

"U.S. Marines of the 1st LAR, based in Camp Pendleton, California, occupy Saddam Hussein (news - web sites)'s presidential palace in the northern Iraq (news - web sites) town of Tikrit April 14, 2003."

freedom of speech

I think this freedom of speech thing is what got the two clerics the "cuisineart" treatment the other day. The first one because he had himself been responsible for torture of friends and relatives of the other people present - perhaps even of some there.

I think the other one got it because he wanted to say "lets move on". I've felt about like doing what the audience did when listening to the Clinton apologistas.

The two clerics became one and the same to the audience, perp and appeaser in the same room.

This was one place where bringing a sword to a shootout works afterall, especially when there is only one gun.

Those were the only 2 that showed up so far for Tikrit. If I find any others later, will post!

Now, it's as if a dam, that was holding back the good news, has burst and the pitiful liberals like Peter Jennings, et al, are drowning in it.

Has viewership tipped?

[texasbluebell]

Here's a good one! This guy and all the others deserve a good rest after their battles!

"U.S. Marine Lance Corporal Carey Floyd, of the 1st LAR based in Camp Pendleton, California, relaxes in the garden of Saddam Hussein (news - web sites)'s presidential palace in the northern Iraq (news - web sites) town of Tikrit April 14, 2003."

Thanks! That is a good one, a real good one! Remember that guy dancing on the truck for those kids earlier in the war? The "yeah, boy!" guy? I wish we had a reporter checking in with him. He was great with those kids!

[texasbluebell]

Oh, the rappin' Marine? He was great!

Saw his parents being interviewed right after they happened to see him doing his rap for those kids.

[whadizit]

"..the rappin' Marine?"

Yeah! That's the one. MSNBC uses him as an intro sometimes and it is so cool.

Wish someone would search him out wherever his unit is and see what all he is up to now. I would bet $$ he is making friends all along the way. What a story! Some reporters just don't get it.

They are the scourge of unarmed women and children.
