Teddy's probably headed to his favorite bar....OOPS a little early...

Rev. Joseph on F & F...I'd forgotten about him: first opposed to the war, then went there, talked to people, and turned around completely! He's of Assyrian Christian descent.

Don't know if this was reported earlier but Fox said that up to 800 people were waiting to vote in a Fallujah polling place and the "experts" on MSNBC were saying that voter trunout looks exceptional.

The news babe's face looked glum.

They should be ashamed. They should be, but they're not.

You think President Bush should dip his index finger in ink for the state of the union address next week?

And wear an ORANGE TIE!

Formerly part of the Ottoman Empire, Iraq was occupied by Britain during the course of World War I; in 1920, it was declared a League of Nations mandate under UK administration. In stages over the next dozen years, Iraq attained its independence as a kingdom in 1932. A "republic" was proclaimed in 1958, but in actuality a series of military strongmen ruled the country, the latest was SADDAM Husayn.

Saddam spent some time in prison for trying to assassinate the former leader. I am looking for his name.

What about Record Turn Out in first Iraqi Election in , Low Terrorists Turn Out.

72% overall and 90% in some places.

This has to be looked at as a success . Although the MSM are pretty raty. But they are going to have a hard time talking this down.

PRAY FOR A CALM END TO THE DAY IN IRAQ !

A revolution over there would solve that Iranian nuclear issue.

They walk over a dead jihadi. Talk about the ultimate insult. Its the Iraqi equivalent of "screw you, you MFs!" And a great moment for democracy.

He has a book out titled "I Was Wrong," which I guess pretty much tells you how he feels now. He said that things were so bad in Iraq that if the war didn't come some people were just going to start killing themselves.

Thanks for that Fox&Friends update. I'm without cable this morning. I wish a certain minister I know would have the same experience.....:^)

No, that former human shield is a good guy. He went over to Iraq before the war, talked to his relatives, found out that they WANTED the war to save them from Saddam, and came home and wrote about it in the Wall Street Journal.
