Who will you watch instead Peach? Seriously, I can't stomach CNN and MSNBC isn't far behind. Forget the alphabet-soup networks. Just doesn't leave much to choose from, which is the crux of the problem IMO.

I may channel surf during times like this .. but FNC will always get my rating .. CNN and MSNBC is bad for my blood preasure

Bears repeating (from months ago):

......"The leaflets would be far more effective if they relate the story of how Gen. John J. 'Blackjack' Pershing dealt with Islamist terror in the Philippines in 1911. Pershing detailed a patrol to bring in six known terrorists who had slain women and children in a backwoods village. The terrorists were required to dig their own graves, and then were lashed to stakes to await the firing squad. Several pigs were brought before them for slaughter...."'When you are buried,' the officer of the detail told the terrorists, 'we will bury the pig offal with you. You'll never see paradise.' And no virgins, either. One of the terrorists was allowed to 'escape' to return to his fellows to tell the awful story, as Pershing knew he would. There was no more trouble in the neighborhood for years, for long after Pershing was long gone to France to command American doughboys in the Great War. "This was the kind of punishment a society like ours would never countenance today, of course, even for Osama bin Laden's evildoers. But merely telling the story would tell the Taliban warriors, loud and clear, just how mean the infidels are prepared to be. [ Pruden on Politics via GOP N&V] "

this isn't anti-American by any stretch

Exactly. I thought that when it was first being reported. SH's henchmen wouldn't harm their good buddies at the UN so the bomber must have been SH's enemy.

I understand, and that is a noble and Christian approach. But sometimes reality just gets in the way. Sorry, I have to run.

This should be eye-opening. Power plays on the part of the left - forget the Iraqi people, human rights, America's national security - freedom.

Tin foil wearers, I would like to point out that through a weird set of occurrences, Oklahoma has a democrat governor right now. Largent was defeated.

From Reuters:

Several Dead, Wounded in UN Baghdad HQ Rubble
Tue August 19, 2003 11:12 AM ET
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Several dead and wounded people were still trapped under the rubble of a U.N. headquarters in Baghdad on Tuesday, hours after a suspected truck bombing destroyed part of the building, a U.S. officer said.

"There are still dead and the wounded in the rubble," Captain James Jensen told Reuters at the scene. A U.S. officer earlier said at least 10 people were killed and dozens wounded in the attack.

Will this wake the UN up to reality now that they have been targeted?

WE who are the real instrument of peace and security in the world.

Amen, ohioWfan. You know the starving woman in Liberia who walked 2 days to reach a reporter asked for the US military, not the UN.

The world is not as blind as the UN-left believes...no matter the decades of pro-UN propaganda preached from our schools, entertainment news-media, busybody socialist NGOs.

Please tell Eric we are so proud of him - and are telling the world.

I am not thinking in Western terms, I am thinking in scorched earth, Machiavellian-third world terms.

Perfectly valid. That's how our 3rd world enemies behave. Such as the Islamokazis in Iraq. Do our troops have it in them to do this? I remember how the South Koreans had a fearsome rep in Vietnam. On average 50,000 SKoreans helped us out there.

The guy they show at the last, trying to keep people calm and letting them know to stay down is amazing.
