Hello, my friend. Staying very, very busy here in WV working to elect fellow FReeper Jay Wolfe to the U.S. Senate--and to defeat the incumbent liberal Democrat Jay Rockefeller.

This is a link to the transcript of a speech I gave on Saturday at the State Fairgrounds to the Rally for Enduring Freedom--hope you enjoy it:

Wow! What a fabulous freeping family!

NattieShea, I have not seen you post before and that is my loss. I live in the Peoples Republik of Santa Monica so maybe the next time we have a CA event, I will have a chance to meet you.

Dispatches from the future: Sept. 11, 2003

http://www.NewsAndOpinion.com | Two dispatches from next year's Sept. 11 anniversary landed on our desk this week. We can't determine which one is accurate so we present them both.

SEPT. 11, 2003, NEW YORK Scientists believe they have now located the epicenter of the nuclear explosion that destroyed this city last week. It was believed to be somewhere around mid-town Manhattan.

Federal officials now estimate that the nuclear device that immediately killed an estimated 200,000 people and injured an additional 2 million to 3 million was smuggled into the United States by a variety of means over the past year. It was then likely assembled on the site.

"We are convinced that Iraq provided this device to the terrorists and I intend to pursue the culprits to the source," vowed President Bush.

Iraqi President Saddam Hussein denied any responsibility for the nuclear explosion and challenged the United States to find a link to Iraq. "Any effort by the United States to use this explosion as a pretext for attacking Iraq will be met by the firm resolve of the Iraqi people," he said.

Responsibility for the explosion was claimed last week by al Qaeda operatives in an interview on al Jazeera television. "This was in retaliation for the brutal and unprovoked American assault on Afghanistan in 2001," said the statement by an unidentified al Qaeda spokesman. "Our jihad against crusaders and Jews continues."

Speculation of a pending American nuclear strike against Baghdad mounted in the immediate aftermath of the explosion, but world opposition to such a strike mounted as well.

"The United States may be charging that it was Saddam Hussein who provided the nuclear device to al Qaeda, but until there is hard evidence, no military action is justified that could impact innocent Iraqis," said UN Secretary General Kofi Annan from Geneva.

 

SEPT. 11, 2003 BAGHDAD Iraqi President Ahmad Chalabi took the oath of office here today, vowing to bring "peace, stability and democracy to long-suffering Iraq."

Chalabi, speaking in the name of the broad coalition that took power in the aftermath of the overthrow of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, said he would build a federated Iraq free of terror that provided autonomy to Kurds, Turkomans and both Sunni and Shiite Muslims.

"It's time that Iraq took its rightful place among nations, not as a rogue state bent on terrorizing its neighbors but as the enlightened scientific, economic and technological leader of the Arab World," he stated in his inaugural address.

The change of regime was widely hailed by American allies in the Middle East, most notably King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, who said that it was long overdue and would finally bring stability to the region.

U.S. and British troops, accompanied by Turkish, Kurdish and Turkoman allies, continued mopping up actions in the Baghdad region.

Special operations forces and nuclear, biological and chemical (NBC) weapons experts continued unearthing, dismantling and destroying vast quantities of NBC materials. "Saddam had enough here to destroy the region and its people several times over," said one inspector. "It went way beyond deterrence - he was clearly intending offensive actions."

U.S. pathologists continue to examine Saddam's body, found in his presidential palace. "We think he died the way terrorist Abu Nidal did," said one U.S. agent in Baghdad. "He committed suicide with three or four shots to the head and chest."

The U.S. Central Command yesterday brought the campaign to a conclusion with a dispatch sent to the White House: "Saddam Hussein has been destroyed."

Westerfield Jury Reaches Verdict - DEATH

[Askel5]

I've got tears in my eyes, of course. You've got to be one of the most blessed men on earth to enjoy the company of two such beautiful and extraordinary girls.

and were so durned cute that people couldn't resist.

Lol ... you're no dummy either, Dad.

Many times I was asked if they were home educated, with the comment, "It is obvious."

This is very heartening ... I trust they have inspired many to wrest their children from the maw of the beast and bring them home.

Carry_Okie ... more than once I've referred to my sister's children as "intelligent heat-seeking missiles" she is sending out into the world. They are bright, beautiful, engaging, curious and truly compassionate children who I know will touch the lives of many.

I know the same is true of Nattie Shea. I've no doubt her entire life will be one grand counter of goodness, strength and hope to the terrible evil, cowardice and despair of the tragedy that occurred on her 10th birthday.

Congratulations and all my best to you and your lovely daughter!

Chris.

There you go - the first chuckle you got out of me today, AmyAmyAmy..:)))

[Carry_Okie]

You've got to be one of the most blessed men on earth to enjoy the company of two such beautiful and extraordinary girls.

God bless you, Chris; it is wonderful, but I wouldn't wish upon anyone the price that I've paid.

[Feiny]

I think so too....thanks!

[Billie]

Taking us for granted, I see! I laughed anyway. ha ha! Take that!

[ST.LOUIE1]

"Then I won't laugh at your joke."

What's new? You didn't laugh at the ones I pinged you to! LOLOL

Sure did!

But if I posted a LOL every time you post a joke....

I wouldn't have time to post to anyone else. : )

[lodwick]

Hey there - nice to see ya here. ;-)

[Billie]

That's the kind of lunch I eat when my husband's not here to make me eat healthier. :)

[WVNan]

Wow! Your girls are so intelligent and pretty as well. CO, the price you are paying is temporary, the reward will be forever.

NattieShea (I love your choice of names), you have been mightly blessed by God. I have do doubt that you will do honor to your God and to your family. I enjoyed reading about you and seeing all the pictures. God Bless.

[Billie]

It is there, isn't it? :)
