ABC Radio, WLS-AM, Chicago ^ | 08/19/03 | GRRRRR

[GRRRRR]

WLS-AM & ABC News, just A LARGE explosion just reported at the UN Building in Baghdad...perhaps 500lb bomb or more..

I don't disagree. Sometimes you have to fight in a way that makes your enemy know you mean business.

[Howlin]

Alert!

[carton253]

Thank you so much!

[boxerblues]

your welcome :)

[rintense]

Oh I agree. But it is a quandary. Is it feasible to take out all of these terrorists in one, fail swoop? Or do we take them out one by one, and let them rebuild when we move on?

[Eric in the Ozarks]

nearly everyone.

didnt they just say this morning that they had intercepted phone calls from one of binnies sons over the weekend, he might be dust but his spawn aren't.

The son is in Iran. And Bin Laden is alive. If he were dead we would know for sure. I wish he were dead. But he's not, according to all the people who make their living tracking him.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

I don't think so. See #159:

But he pointed out the UN building has "nothing to do with the Coalition or the invasion of Iraq".

Hey boxerblues...
How's your boy?

[ChewedGum]

This car bomb was to drive a wedge between the UN and us. Look for the UN to pull out of Iraq. Whoever did this wants to slow the reconstruction..

If the UN is out of the way, I don't see that as slowing things down...it would probably speed things up.

Much better insight here, than FNC, sadly.

Staring death in the face is a pretty good motivator to change the way you are operating. If several of these small groups feel threatened to the point of extinction, then they would naturally congregate against a common enemy.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Yes. Radical tactics.

But in their hopelessly cemented and unflexible American Mindset, they cannot stomach these possible anti-terror tactics, in nearly 95% of the State Department (they might be able to at CIA or Special Forces), and in many circles in the Pentagon.

It is called 'playing dirty', but with few options left, what do you DO with these suicidal islamo-anti-American animals bent on world destruction????????

Saudis in Iraq 'preparing for a holy war'

[Peach]

I'll look for that article; thanks for mentioning it.

[Republican Red]

Just switched from FNC also. I couldn't take Nadler.

[dennisw]

Many thanks for figuring out who I was referring to. This IMAD FAYEZ MUGNIYAH guy is very bad news. Could be this Islamokazi demon behind today's UN bombing or some other guerrilla cell looking for bragging rights. The terrorism scene in Iraq reminds me of Beverly Hill Cop where the grizzled old detective says, "Everyone's a freelancer these days"

[prairiebreeze]

Agreed, but I don't expect to see it. We are way to PC conscious. And the Europeenieweenies would howl at us. So we won't.

MSNBC has some shrill talking about some Iraqi who said "If Saddam was here this wouldn't have happened." Yeah right. Leave it to MSNotablyBiasedCoverage.

Sounds to me like it is better that the ratings go to Cartoon Network this morning, rather than Fox.
