Oh thank you for that link to Kristinn's thread. I didn't know about this other star in FR's crown!

Greta and her endless preoccupation w/the same cases and her same guest "experts" has become passe in my house. (BTW did you know that her husband, a lawyer naturally, worked for Kerry's campaign?)

The Iraqis have shown courage all along. It sort of puts me in awe. They keep signing up to be cops and soldiers, and keep getting killed.

I volunteer and will keep an ear on NBC etc. for a while this evening as I am without FoxNews at the moment. It's a dirty, dangerous job and I hope I come out alive, LOL!

Although I didn't even know about Kristinn's efforts, it makes me pleased as punch. I'm grinning from ear to ear and will bookmark that thread.

We have people in this country complain they had to stand in line in the rain to vote. Bunch of weenies could take a lesson from the Iraqi people.

You speak truth, Peach.

I hope the Iraqi's take a lesson from the Afghan people. They stood in line to vote...a bomb would go off and they'd disperse...only to return to the line to cast a ballot.

A U.S. Army soldier hangs a banner at a primary school scheduled to be used as polling station in the northern city of Mosul, on January 29, 2005. Insurgents vowing total war on Iraq (news - web sites)'s landmark polls killed 17 people on the eve of the vote and threatened a bloodbath on election day. Interim Prime Minister Iyad Allawi urged the country's fractious religious and ethnic groups to defy 'enemies trying to break us and to break our world' and to vote in Iraq's first multi-party elections in half a century. (Zohra Bensemra/Reuters)

Yeah--I heard that! And that footage he showed was incredible--made it all the more delicious that when Saddam was found it was in a little hole in the ground!

Do you remember seeing how beautifully the Afghan women dressed? You'd see their high heeled shoes from under the voting booth curtain. Knowing how far they walked and how long they stood in line, that just touched me to see. For those women, it was such a high occasion that women did what we've always done -- they dressed up!

Are they wailing and gnashing their teeth yet??

Yes. Just check out the regular RAT Underground website and read that 'who is paying for freedom' tripe. It's coming in slow - but they're trying to keep up some sort of front...

It's such a crime that the Afghan election didn't get the media "play" it deserved.

The whole event was miraculous...especially women voting!

Yes....Weeping with joy....I do believe we have some in this country whose feelings are so shallow they're incapable of those feelings.
