All of the above..for solving the problem! Always a thank you to those who served!

[Beck_isright]

Too late. Rummy has spoken.

[Jerez2]

What please-lance-my-boil doesn't understand is that the troops weren't there for President Bush's benefit.

HE was there for THEM -- to thank and honor THEM.

And they knew it. And love him for it.

[Beck_isright]

Thank you then. If you noticed in 93, we didn't get any parades. Just endless reminders that Fleetwood Mac represented Amerika. (barf)

[Beck_isright]

Amen. They will remember this for the rest of their lives. I wish I could have met Reagan. It would have kept me smiling to this day. He is still my hero as a Prez, but W is making one hell of a run to take over his spot!!!!!

[El Gato]

Wasn't that Randy Quaid?

Could be, I don't pay all that much attention to the actors names. They say what someone else has written for them, they stand were someone else tells them to stand, and emote the way they're told. BFD. Some few go on to better things, and others continue in a workmanlike fashion to provide good entertainment, way to many get all "rowdy" and full of themselves.

Listening to C-Span tonight, (Mistake #1.) and I caught the tail end of President Bush's speech. (Daughter had a concert tonight.)The troops there were delighted to have him on board.

C-Span then had callers call in to agree or disagree with the President. Most agreed. Those that didn't, used the same old tired lines... It's all about oil, or that most of the World didn't agree with what we did... blah...blah...blah...

It just stuns me how uninformed these people are. If they would only open their eyes to see what was going on in Iraq, and that there were ties to Al Queda.

I can't believe how un informed these people are, and are willing to wallow in their own ignorance.

Stunning!

[Lauratealeaf]

Yes, that catfish is better looking than Hillary. It has her mouth but not her eyes.

[El Gato]

Somewhere, right now, William Jefferson Clinton is PURPLE with rage.

He'll probably have to take two interns to block the pain. :)

[Lauratealeaf]

General Zot has spoken. Thank you.

I salute you for your service to our Live Thread. Well done!

[Brad’s Gramma]

I am home.
I prayed.
I did NOT dis the President.
Church started at 7:00 and is 2 blocks away.
The President spoke at 6:00.



Sheeeeeesh.

[JohnHuang2]

Big thank you for the warm compliment, friend :)

[El Gato]

Dayummm! Condi flew out in an S-3!

Nah, she went out on the COD.(Carrier Onboard Delivery), the C-2 Greyhound, you call they haul. Same basic airplane as the E-2 Hawkeye AEW aircraft, but with a different, and bigger, fuselage and no radome on top. Same wings, same engines, different tail structure, etc. You still trap aboard just like the S-3, but you get to do it without seeing outside, and facing backwards to boot. :)

That photo of the Constitution must be from that time a few years ago--I just came across a video I made of the event.

That was a big day, and got a lot of coverage, and I taped it, may have to watch it sometime!

[El Gato]

"............Let Tyrants Fear............."

Possibly my favorite line. I'll have to read the speach later to be sure. :)

[texasbluebell]

My daughter was telling me that he is the best of the S-3 pilots when it comes to bringing the plane in on the carrier. That Exec Officer is going to have a fantastic memory of this day!

Not many people have had the privilege of doing what he did!

[A Citizen Reporter]

"Those that didn't, used the same old tired lines... It's all about oil, or that most of the World didn't agree with what we did."

Isn't it incredible when you hear this? Now when I hear, "It's all about oil" I always think.....Yeah, if you're French! LOL!

[Beck_isright]

LOL, anytime. I just hate whiners. Obviously this was a DU plant. And man is their board a whining tonight!!!!!!!!!!!

[smadurski]

Duers are contemplating suicide now.
