Ok I give. What's up with W. Texas? Lived in Midland most of my life did I miss something? LOL!

[beaversmom]

I voted in the poll earlier and wanted to see what happened with it since then. I don't see it anymore. Did they take it down since Condi was winning out?

[beaversmom]

Glad you made it back to the States safe. Thank you so much for defending this country.

"It is unbelievable to me that the Dems could come off as so obviously confrontational and partisan, and yet there are those in this nation who are so blind as to believe they are the party to follow."

It doesn't surprise me one bit.

But then after 8 years of Big Dog nothing surprises me anymore. Wrong is right Right is wrong and it all depends on the meaning of "is".

They are "the party to follow" because more and more people are willing to substitute hard work for a gov't handout. That and the fact they are th party that tells people 'do what you want and don't feel guilty. You're not responsible for your actions."

I am VERY glad that Dr. Rice gave back as good as she got when it came to her being bullied.


Somewhere in Chappaqua Bill and Hill (They remind me of Pinky and The Brain) are distressed becasue their plans to take over the world have been foiled again thanks to Dr. Rice! LOL!

Post#3519 by Two Bits I don't think Texas is big enough to hold all of us conservatives......

I was just telling Two Bits that there is PLENTY of room in West Texas for all the conservatives that might want to join the New Republic of Texas.

FReegards!

[O Neill]

Maybe the military should get out there and demand accountability from the Clinton admin...

The Clinton Administration was sooooo pressed for time...burning down the Branch Davidians church outside Waco...explaining why Vince Foster's blood flowed UPhill...chasin' down Montana Militia cells springin' up all over the place...gettin' a Lewinsky now & then...

[CaptainK]

I have officially joined today.

"He's a colossal bore.
And what is he talking about Bush doesn't do anything on vacation? "

Well, we know what Kerry did on his vacation, God knows there was enough photo ops chronicaling his every move. As for President Bush, well, this morning he spoke with Putin before he and Mrs Bush watched the 3 hr testimony of his natinal security advisor, Dr Rice. He worked yesterday, too....

President George W. Bush conducts a National Security Council meeting via teleconference with General John Abizaid, in Crawford, Texas, Wednesday, April 7, 2004. The President received an update on military operations in Iraq. Also present is NSC Executive Secretary Greg Schulte.

Also, My2Cents, consider this:

When AQ hit the Cole, Clinton did nothing because, in the words of Clarke, they weren't "sure" who did it.

Then we were hit on 9/11 and two days later Bush asks Clarke to make sure it is AQ and not Iraq.

If Clinton couldn't be sure 3 mos. after the Cole who did it, why is the left so outraged that 2 days after the worst attack on our country the president is making positively sure it was AQ and that we go after the right party first.

You are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay off the mark on your comments about what's going on in Baghdad right now. I just spent a year over there witht he 3rd Brigade 1st AD. All this "we are worried about being pc, not "emboldening" the enemy" is pure unadulterated BULL SH*T sir. YOu obviously don't know what the urban conditions are like in this area. Ever stop to consider...wait no you didn't stop to consider that the relief column could have been in an area where a 500lb bomb wasn't feasible to use! Or better yet I suggest you ruck up and join the 1st Marines and get a look at what's REALLY goingon over there.

SEMPER FI indeed! *sigh*

You are also obviously blind and ignorant to the tactics being employed by the insurgents over there.

The ONLY people we are "talking to" over there are the innocent civilians. The Civil Affairs guys are using their loudspeakers mounted on their Hummers to warn people to stay inside and not com out where they might get shot. We're done talking to the bad guys unless it's to instruct them on how to surrender when they are captured.

It really chaps my @ss when I see armchair QB's like you try to act like an expert on something you know nothing about. I'm not an expert on tactics or landwarfare but I DO KNOW WHAT'S going on in Iraq and you sir, are WAY off the mark. You may fool some of these people with your "analysis" but not me. So go sell it somewhere else.

Off that, I would support more robust response. But, the lay waste option is not yet viable.

[Reagan Man]

Just checked that msnbc online poll. It's still up and the numbers are still the same. 74%/55% for Rice. Over 43K answered the poll.

[Dolphy]

the question is, why, knowing that demonrats are pure evil, do supposedly intelligent Republicans allow this type of "lynching" to occur, with a gallery of biased hand-picked demonrats to clap and cheer against the witness...

I agree with you, my earlier point was only to say that Kerrey's aggressive style is bipartisan. But it could be no secret that Bin-Vinladenste was a partisan hack along with some of the others. The Republicans should have learned from the Wellstone funeral rally that no event is so somber as to call for the resting of political gamesmanship.

[don-o]

Now, I am really confused.

If Falluja is blocking and killing relief convoys, what do we do with that?

[BlessedByLiberty]

Thank you for your insight and for your service. If only there was a way for all of us to hug every single member of the coalition to tell them how much we appreciate their, and your, service and personal sacrifice.

Thank you.

Actually, it was Levin doing the dirty work for Daschle. Have not been able to connect Daschle directly to the obstruction of these particular folks appointments...but I know he had to be lurking in the background with a silly smirk on his face.

[Piranha]

Uh, she did.

[CaptainK]

Her husband didn't leave the second building because the Port Authority was issuing statements over the PA system for everyone to remain in the building.

Knowing that a burning plane was in the next building would have got me out of my seat in 2 seconds flat.

[My2Cents]

Asking whether it was Iraq behind the 9/11 attacks was, and frankly still is, a legitimate question. There is a ton of circumstantial evidence suggesting that Iraq was behind the 1993 bombing of the WTC, and if they were behind that, there is reason to believe they were behind 9/11. This is one of the many examples of negligence on the part of the Clinton Administration, that all of the red flags about Iraqi involvement in the '93 bombing were not followed-up by Clinton's CIA and other intelligence agencies. It's most likely the result of the malfeasance on the part of the Clinton intelligence community that we still don't know to what extent Iraq was involved in the 1993 bombing.

To ask whether Iraq was involved in 9/11 was both proper, and justified. And I will not in the least be shocked or surprised if some day (soon, I hope) intelligence pouring over papers in Baghdad discover that Saddam funded the whole 9/11 operation, through al Qaeda.
