In about 15 minutes, a news conference will be held with some soldiers involved in Saddam's capture.

It sounds as though you will miss it due to church commitments, but I'm sure it will be replayed over and over.

Kudos to our brave, beloved troops!

In California we get elated when it gets at or below $1.50. It was amazing the positive comments yesterday from other drivers filling up at the Costco. One clown had an impeach Bush sticker on. He got so much flack, he left without filling up.

The two faced sob, also had a "No War for Oil" sticker. I told him to fill his frigging van up with sea water and leave the gasoline for the rest of us. Then a black guy with military sticker on his vehicle really lit into him. The black guy was about 6'4" and built like you know what. After that interchange, the creep got into his vehicle and left. Several of us clapped and laughed at him as he left.

....These will form the basis of an upcoming lawsuit against the U.S. for 'military brutality'.....

The ACLU and Amnesty International will provide the funding and the lawyers.

The NAACP will claim that there are not enough black lawyers on the team.

There will be more fighting, there will be more attacks with continued US soldiers killed, this war may last 25 years or more.

Both will be minimul in comparison to other conflicts but both will continue.

Those other stupid reporters at CNN are saying that the people in Iraq are asking about where their power and such is.

Geez, I'll bet the people in California and Detroit are asking the same questions.
