It's going fine.

I think the bottom line for the West is kill or be killed.

Oh man. If some of our senators have been murdered, God help the fools who did it. GWB will go postal on them.

He's been killed??

That was the bulletin that came over the radio just now. The exact quote was "...the lead UN representative has been killed by this bombing..."

So if you want to get technical, the news guy didn't give his name, but 2+2...

MSNBC reporting the congressional delegation is safe. Hope that's true.

I hope you're right and I'm wrong. I've got a real bad feeling about this...

Morning Grrrrr, I just turned on Fox and heard. One of the Fox reporters made the comment that this will cause people to wonder why we don't just pull out and leave Iraq to the Iraqi's.

Is it time to get nasty?

Holy smokes. God protect our Senators. For some reason, Kay Bailey's name jumped off that list.

"Time to set up barriers around high profile targets to keep cars away from the buildings."

Goes to show you the arrogance of the U.N. in thinking that they were an "off limits" target.

There's no way we can fix that hellhole. Either decimate it or get the hell out.
