Fox story on the Dixie Sluts latest idiocy. The cover photo is probably either body doubles or heavily airbrushed. The brainlessness is real.

A good read - from the Houston Chronicle(?!)
U.S. troops' arrival drives home reality that Saddam gone - Flowers, smiles in Mosul
Houston Chronicle ^ April 24, 2003 | MICHAEL HEDGES
MOSUL, Iraq -- Expecting headaches and maybe worse from unruly factions of Kurds and Saddam Hussein loyalists, American soldiers began a campaign Wednesday to stabilize and administer this northern Iraq city.
Instead, they were met with flowers and friendly greetings.
No one can be sure it will last, but for now a task force of troops from the 101st Airborne and 4th Infantry divisions plans to impose order swiftly in Iraq's third largest city.

UN extends the Oil for Food program until June 3rd.Gotta keep the gravy train running as long as possible.
How I wish there were some repercussions for the massive fraud. How do they justify this?
I want some heads to roll!

The Left does not hate George W. Bush because he is an awful president, rather they hate him because he is good.As sunlight to a vampire, an honest man is to the left.

God has his own plans for us, and mine is not to reason why. Still, it's a tough call.

Well they are attractive "young things" with ego & idealism & thoughts of "I am industructible / we will survive " in their mentality.
If the past group of supporters (solid, patriotic) abandons them.. they will seek another audience.

I really really hope nobody takes this the wrong way.....
When I first heard he was alive, my immediate reaction was "I hope not"
The thought of what he has endured the last 12 years, and what he will be returning to, is too much for me to bear. How any man can survive that, and come away from it in good health, both mentally and physically is beyond me.
It seems almost better to me that didn't survive this long.
___________
Thanks for saying what I have been thinking all along.
It almost seems cruel and selfish to want him to be alive...
(but hey, I have become pretty mean and cynical from seeing folks 'keep' loved ones alive in hell)...

Oh my. I just can't stop staring at that picture. Please Lord help our people find him. Even if it's just his body, his family and friends deserve to know what happened.

How long was Senator McCain a prisoner? I think with the right faith system, we can endure anything.
