HUGE Explosion, UN Building, Baghdad (All US Senators safe)

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..

[eyespysomething]

has been extensively and "beautifully" remodeled since the fall of Saddam.

Good job finding this. No wonder it was bombed. (not that I am excusing it)

[boxerblues]

think this will really be enough to piss off the UN and force them to finally have to do something

[Mo1]

The terrorists don't seek a military victory by attacking our troops with covert action. They are attacking civilians, the Iraqi economy, and anything else that presents a large visible target. The goal is to get the US and its allies to get frustrated and leave. Just like they want us to leave the Gulf region and abandon support for Israel. .

Yep and the yapping from the likes of Dean/Kerry/Graham/Clinton only give the terrorists hope that we will leave.

"beautifully" remodeled since the fall of Saddam

at whose expense? the Iraqi's? I'd be pissed as well

[Matchett-PI]

"The terrorist have no shame, the UN stands up for them they and they blow them up."

The DemocRATS stand up for them even better. If and when they regain their power they will help the terrorists to either [1] neutralize the effectiveness of America's efforts to bring peace and prosperity to Iraq and the Middle East, or [2] see to it that American troops are brought home before our goals are reached.

Terrorists want Americans out of Iraq. They don't want peace and prosperity in Iraq (or anywhere else in the world) because they know it will be at the expense of their power and control over others.

DemocRATS don't want peace and prosperity in America because they know it will prevent them from regaining their power in the next election, and beyond.

Regaining power and control over every aspect of people's lives is the goal of the Terrorists and it's also the goal of the Marxist DemocRAT party.

That's why the members of the terrorists cells and their supporters in the U.S. will be voting against Bush and conservative Republicans in the next election.

That will be true in the privacy of the voting booth regardless as to whether they try and fool people by registering as Republicans.

That is also why America's enemies will be funding DemocRAT campaigns as usual by laundering their donations through front organizations. Remember? Foreigners were caught illegally donating money to Algore through a Buddhist Temple.

They were *caught*, but the vast majority AREN'T caught, and won't be caught if the DemocRATS have anything to say about it.

DemocRATS see to it that there is never any "controlling legal authority" where they're concerned.

Those who sit home and don't vote, those who vote third party, and those who don't do everything they can to get Republicans elected, are aiding and abetting the enemy by seeing to it that DemocRATS win in the next election.

And like Jane Fonda and her ilk who gave, and continue to give, aid and comfort to our enemies, they deserve the contempt of all patriots who care about the *FUTURE* good of America.

The anti-American, anti-Bush media is starting to pile on, I see. Someone here with a strong stomach ought to collect the most outrageous comments and opinions that are coming out and post them, maybe on another thread. I think Timesink's ping list is going to be getting a major workout today.

Someone's going to have to give me some pointers. I was busy this morning and am coming into this story VERY late ... only since about 10 minutes ago.

We need a Vietnam era Phoenix Plan dusted off and updated to reflect Islamofascist sensitivities/sensabilities and NOW

Absolutely.

The problemis not our hardcore SP guys.

The problem is everyone from the White House to the State Department who are intimidated by the Saudis and concerned about their "feelings" should we implement a plan that is offensive to Islam.

I am so glad Senator Inhofe has been found! I was worried, because he is one of the strongest supporters of th eArmed Services in the Senate, and sits on the Intelligence Committee as well.

I was gone to the store for a quick errand. The President's speech was covered live on the radio. Then ABC radio had a segment from the explosion site with a reporter who had been taken in with the US Army recue people. He said General Ramirez was on site as well as Paul Bremer, and that recues crews were talking through a crack to two people who wree trapped. They were bringing in a big crane to lift slabs of concrete to try to reach people who were trapped.

"The UN Compound in Baghdad has been extensively and "beautifully" remodeled since the fall of Saddam. FNC reporter says the building was "really a Western oasis within Baghdad", with air conditioning, modern office furniture, a glass-enclosed cafeteria, etc., unlike any of the Coalition-controlled sites which have not wasted money on frills. Salam Pax, the commie Iraqi blogger, has in the past noted that UN and NGO workers tend to be prominent Baghdad partygoers and partythrowers."
there are some reasons.

Thanks for posting. Had to be away for a bit and just now catching up. Answered prayer.

Yep and the yapping from the likes of Dean/Kerry/Graham/Clinton only give the terrorists hope that we will leave.

That's correct.

[Peach]

LOL! I'll have to get one of those signs: "The President's on - Come back later".

[firewalk]

Thanks for the ping

[TomGuy]

FoxNews reporting that UN Iraqi Rep. De Mello is alive, still trapped inside the building rubble.

[veronica]

Interesting. These savages know just what they are doing. They pick their targets carefully, to send a message. We too must send a message. NO SHELTER FOR TERRORISTS.

That means all terrorists. INCLUDING ARAFAT. etc.

'Bush Good, Saddam Bad!'

I just tuned in to the bomb news.Thanks for the update on Sen Inhofe.The people who did this have no love for the Iraqi people.I did hear a UN spokesman emphasize the coalition was responsible for security.The UN wouldn't want to miss a chance to point fingers.

[Ex-Dem]

Bush is going to make a statement in a few minutes.

Clinturd would have finished his 18 holes for sure.
