Operation Infinite Freep - After Action Report - Houston, TX (15 Feb 2003)

A few closing notes:

1) The "long distance" award goes to Ron H. He had two of the best signs (President Bush and the Terrorist Hunting Permit), was the first Freeper to show, and had by a wide margin the longest drive.
2) The large "We Support Our Troops" sign was organized by Flyer. Several Freepers made financial contributions in that effort.
3) Humblegunner allowed for the use of his home as a staging area.
4) In walking to the Freep, I noticed six automobiles owned by the “anti-American” crowd that had safety/environmental and/or registration stickers that were expired. He noted the make and models and pointed the locations to the police in attendance. One of them stated that they would right citations. I don't like the stickers (or paying for them) as much as anyone else, but if I must pay, then they also must pay).
5) In granting interviews regarding why we were here, I was very polite and mentioned specifics of Powell's presentation, failure of the UN regarding enforcement of their resolutions, explanation why war is the only option left, and comparing the WMD disarmament of Iraq versus other countries (RSA, Kazhakstan, and Ukraine).
