That's true.

I'm glad it's not :)

Watch out when you mention the word "dog" in that part of the country. My understanding is that the president of Ragheads International does not like dogs. Nor do the general population. Now if we could send a battalion of rabbid pit-bulls to sand-land, that would make for some great news. "Local terrorist's voice changes upon being attacked by coalition support canines."

'Just like Ta-Wanna, OJ, Kobe, Laci, and the rest of Tabloids-R-Us "reporting."'

To add to that I was quite disapointed when even Joe Scarborough led the show with the jacko story, for crying out loud the President only just gave an amazing speach that morning, but does Joe lead off with that, oh no its Jacko, I turned off the TV in disgust!

Quite a few have said the same thing right here on FR.

That would never happen! Because we are all posting on a conservative forum and all espouse exclusively conservative (Republican) values.

Some have posted disparaging remarks on FR???!!!!

I'm shocked!!! Shocked, I tell you!!!!!

Sarcasm = OFF.

These guys and gals are an absolute miracle. They are pounding away at the enemy with one hand and organizing a farmers coop with the other. Just incredible.

This is the kind of info that they should keep on the low down right now.

It's not going to change anyone's mind over here in the US and it will only make the enemy try harder...

Just keep it up and talk about it when it's over.

IMO.

That was (perhaps) our biggest mistake in Iraq to date. In late August/early September, we mounted another effort similar to Opeartion Hammer, and it produced similar results; as I recall, the number of daily attacks dropped into the low single digits. Then, for whatever reason, we backed off, gave the terrorists a chance to regroup, and paid the price.

Go, Iron Hammer!

Well, they were attempting the difficult task of trying to be friendly to the population while dealing with the threat and may have gone too far with the friendly thing.

We can be friendly later when these goons are taken care of.

The Divine Hammer in the Mighty Fist of Allah, come to smite the apostates and false prophets. Wouldn't it be something if the reformation of Islam came about as a direct result of the West's victory over the Islamofascists, and the mullahs made the political decision to excise, or at least interpret differently, those verses of the Qu'ran that imply that violence is sanctioned by Allah?

A good solid fetch upside the head, guaranteed to set the bell ringing, generally clarifies thinking. Or at least minimizes disobedience.

Yeah - my Labrador will lick 'em to death and then run away laughing. Then they'll have to go bathe to get rid of the dog slobber.

While they're distracted by the dog, the 14 pound attack Siamese will rend them limb from limb and devour the remains.

I just got on with The Great one and brought this to his attention. I used your first comment as my closing statement on the call.

BUMP for the WOT

You know... I was beginning to regret having logged on again, since I was wasting time that really should be spent doing more productive activities.... (after all, reading Michael Jackson threads is fun but it doesn't pay the bills or do the dishes for me!).... but statements like these make me glad I logged on:

"Enemy attacks against the coalition in and around Baghdad have dropped by 70 percent since Operation Iron Hammer began Nov. 12, the commander of the 1st Armored Division said today."

THANK YOU, Ragtime Cowgirl. This is great news. :)
