Sorry, don't take it personal.

It is just that if the area is treate as a mind field (and not a city street as in Iraq), we can overcome mines a number of ways. I am sure the Iraqis know how too.

Pat is such an isolationist that even if he KNEW that Iran was planning on attacking Israel, without a doubt...he would STILL say we don't have to worry about Iran..

Oh..and he is also anti-semitic.

Happy to see FR back up and running! You are correct - repellent is a great description for the Hate America crowd.

Talk that Clinton/Allbright/et al - of all people - should be sent for a high profile photo op, er diplomatic mission, proves Rush's take that to liberals history begins today.

Carter started this by his weak, Euro-weenie, unhinged response to Iran holding Americans hostage. Clinton continued that cowardly, feeble and debilitating response to the MANY acts of terror perpetrated against our country during his tenure.

If we "know how to do it"...like you say, then how come we are losing so many troops to IEDs in Iraq?

I am also disappointed in the news coverage so far from cnn, msnbc, and fox. CNN seems to be the best so far out of the three.

Well I reckon I just failed to see the humor in your post. Even one ground troop being killed by a land mine would be a tragedy to me.

And certainly not LOL.

Amazing how much criticism the US and Israel government policies get, and how many vile comments have been made about President Bush, and PM Sharon over the years.

But when it comes to Lebanon's gov and PM, Saddam and Sons, Iran and Syria, there is absolutely NO discussion.

Okay...so those Israeli tanks would be able to go over landmines and IEDS without any damage to them or the soldiers inside??

If so, why don't the Americans have those in Iraq?

Oh...I saw that earlier and couldn't believe my eyes!!

Even Greta made a remark when he was promoing his show on hers...that after he mentioned that...she said "Oh I will look forward to learning about strippers"...LOL

Of course, that is like the pot calling the kettle black, IMHO>

I actually maybe thought they thought you were kidding about the mines and trying to throw off bad guys... or something like that. I need to go to sleep.
