I had the good fortune to witness an MRLS full launch of cluster munitions on a green hill. After the dust settled... the hill was no longer green, just a barren brown "tilled" earth look.

VERY impressive. Made me question why I was in the Infantry.

As much as I detest them, there's just not another alternative. A RINO or a RAT isn't much of a choice, but I'd have to go with a RINO, IF that's our only choice.

If for no other reason than just being an R placeholder, and keeping the majority in the hands of the grownups and the sane.

Hey Diane, what do you think of FDR's work during WWII?

No, Rudy isn't John McCain or Ted Kennedy on the WOT. The last two should horrify any thinking person. But someone that will not appoint Justices like Alito, Roberts, Scalia and Thomas could allow the damage done by the Courts to continue. And that we cannot allow.

I know. I detest McCain. I almost dislike him more than I do Hillary. I want Tom Tancredo to run. I don't know if he's seriously looking at it or not, but I sure do want him to.

What bothers me most about Rudy is that he's another gun grabber. So is McCain, and so is Hillary.

Good point. Please let the Dems tell us which one of them ever called in cluster bombs,or firecracker rounds, then walked through the AO where the bomblets failed to explode? I would love to hear the details?

Sheesh ... the Rats and liberals get 80 percent of this story and the Republicans get, at best, 20 percent. Also, how about some reporting on how many Republicans and Rats voted each way?

The Senate on Wednesday rejected a move by Democrats to stop the Pentagon from using cluster bombs near civilian targets and to cut off sales unless purchasers abide by the same rules.

Damn, I'd better stock up while I still can.

You mean you did not have that epiphany when they demonstrated to you a claymore going off at Benning?

When she wasn't extolling the virtues of masterbation, Klinton's comedic surgeon general,Joycelyn Elders, was calling for "safer" bullets.

Made you question why you were in the Infantry? I guess no one can live through a B52 carpet bombing,too?

I never saw an Arc-light... but my Uncle tells me it is an awesome sight to see.
