He said the current administration has ignored the middle east.

To Dodd: Then explain why we're in Iraq, genius.

Gillerman was very good. Spoken like it is.
Also, BOR last comment was true too....negotiating just doesn't work with these people.

"About 25 percent of Hizbullah's capabilities have been hit, a high-ranking IDF officer estimated on Sunday night at the end of the fifth day of Operation Just Reward. According to the officer, the group's chain of command is still functioning. He estimated that the Lebanese group would not be annihilated when the dust settles, only severely damaged. The officer predicted that the operation would end in the middle of next week." JPost

Castro is a force of nature though. It amazes me that he took power during the Eisenhower administration, and outlasted that one, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush I, Clinton, and now Bush 2.

The sad thing for most Cubans is that they have never known freedom at all. The vast chunk of them were not born until Castro was already an institution.

It was on EFE (their version of the AP). I didn't see the original story but I did see the retraction. I think it was a CYA moment.

I know these rumors circulate on a regular basis but personally I'm getting ready to throw a party when it's confirmed.

They're just rumors but do I think he's dead?

My Magic 8 Ball says all signs point to yes! (LOL, take that information for what it's worth.)

I like Gillerman too. What he said about Lebanon once having been a great, vibrant country "raped" by Syria and Iran is so true, and very sad.

Great take Raster Master. Important point here, if the Dems ever stop lying(the DBM's call it spin)they will be through. No party could stand for nothing and still survive, they eek out an existence on a constant barrage of half truths and outright lies.

I happen to be one of sofaman's many Christian FReeper friends here in the same city he is in.
We understand what he is saying, it isn't that difficult.

yup...by then, hopefully everything will have simmered down or he's not going, as much as he would like to.
