Shortly before the fall of Hitler, Heinrich Himmler, head of the SS, created an organization known as the "Werewolves." They were directed to kill American soldiers and German collaborators with the occupation, and to sabotage public facilities and utilities. How many Americans were killed? How many attacks took place?
So how many?
Do your own research ya lazy bum. Print your stuff and I'll ping everybody.
Thank you! I thought everyone had forgotten about that. I suspect that translation is one reason the film clip is not shown on the History Channel more often.
I like to watch it whenever I can. There is a roar from the crowd that was widely (mis)interpreted in the US as approval from the Germans.
Best regards,
Actually, I would prefer to use Edwardian Script Font in eight point type, but I have been advised it is not possible to enable that HTML code on Free Republic. The choice is limited to one of three or four options and I make my selection accordingly.
My father, from the Rio Grande Valley, said "nucular" all his life. He was one of the smartest people I have ever known. It didn't seem to bother my mother, who was an English teacher and eventually a dean at a university.
It is appropriate for a child to honor her father and mother.

Everything you say is true and logical if the people in the press are honest and genuinely after the getting and reporting of the truth.
My take is, this is not a case of the Media being lazy (which many are), stupid (which some are), incompetent (which is possible) or in a feeding-frenzy (which is usual).
It is a case of this fitting their agendas nicely. So, they are feeding this story by aiding and abetting the liars and scoundrels who assert it. In other words, they are in collusion to destroy President Bush (whom they hate), our successful actions in Iraq (which they detest) and our overall War On Terror (which they don't believe is warranted).
Why? Because they are ideologically wont to do so. They have the means and also the advantage of being encouraged by the Democrats, which may as well be renamed the American Baathocrat Party. Remember, this is all the same crowd that stood by and defended the clintons and their criminality for eight long years.
It's in their nature, just as it is in a dog's nature to return to his own vomit.
I take it even further: the press has done their homework perfectly-they have found a focus group concept which creates the most confusion with the smallest amount of explanation.
I understand there are now TV commercials in some markets that whittle the 16 word video down to : The Iraqi's were trying to buy Uranium from Niger-thus effectively broadcasting the image of Bush as a complete liar.
The administration's response to this hokem is a curiously defensive consciousness-of-guilt rebuttal to the effect the speech was not relevant or the statement significant.
It is remarkable to watch the Democrats manufacture a complete lie from whole cloth into conventional wisdom while Republicans are unable to take a simple truth and defend it with any vigor or competence.
Truly this is the Age of Colliding Inanities.
Best regards,
A little off the mark as it were but never the less the fact is "The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Thursday that 42,815 people died in auto accidents in 2002, an increase of 1.5% from 2001. At the same time, the number of injuries dropped, from 3.03 million in 2001 to 2.92 million in 2002." Not to mention hundreds of others in non-auto related deaths. The fixation of the various media on a daily count of American military deaths in Iraq is a little sick IMHO. It's just not PC to report those dying of AIDS.......
In my household, goats are looked on with favor, as are weasels (it's a LONG story). So I apologize to all goats, everywhere.
But no, this does NOT make me yearn for a return of Laci Peterson, 24/7 on cable news. Unless his lawyer, Geragos, is incompetent, Scott Peterson will plead guilty to one count of murder, with no death penalty, and that will be that. All the other press blather between now and then is worthless twaddle and a waste of time.
IMHO.
