Good post. Prayers and praise for our troops, and the GWB administration.

“It was flying low. It almost seemed to stop flying and float at one time...Then it began firing. It was like the plane was breathing fire. It was horrible, horrible.”

I love it!

Thanks for your service Tim.

No more "Let's Roll" now we can say "Keep Roll'n!" What'cha think?!

Oh yea...good one!
Rangers in force.
Nothing they have could even BEGIN to stand up to that!
They probably got the point.
If not, they will.

I have to believe that we have some very sophisticated methods for finding and/or detonating mines remotely. We still can't be using the old "crawl on your bell and carefully poke a knife in the dirt ahead of you" method. And if it is classified--don't tell me.

Re #57 I wonder this, too. I seem to be reading more and more Guardian U.K. articles in the past month or so. I think a lot of U.S. citizens would appreciate reading this story.

Excuse me, but I don't speak Brit. How long is a football pitch?
