Yeah, I'd think they'd have multiple strokes at the thought of that solution -if it'd work.

Oooh! I know! Let's pass a security counsel resolution that they stop it right this very instant (well...err...in 30 days....err, I mean, 90 days...well, okay, a year).

And this time, we'll really really really mean it!

See....THIS is why some of us are unhappy about all the footdragging. Time is NOT on our side. All this UN'ing back and forth plays into the hands of our enemies. Thanks, Colin, Mr. "Credbility-With-Our-Allies-And -The-World-Community", and nice going, W, for taking his advice instead of Rumsfeld's, Cheney's, Wolfowitz's, Perle's, etc. And still....we talk about more extensions and still more "last chances". Jeezis!

Hey you dumbass liberals...THIS is why it's good to have an "oil man" in the White House!!!




On June 11, 1991 Red flew to Washington D.C. to testify before the Gulf Pollution Task Force concerning the problems he faced in Kuwait. By this time Red had two firefighting teams in Kuwait and Red testified about the lack of water and equipment, his concerns about medical assistance for his men and the landmines scattered about the Kuwaiti countryside. Red showed a dramatic slide presentation demonstrating some of the firefighting in Kuwait and giving the Task Force a lesson in well control.

Red explained that extinguishing the fire is not the most difficult part of well control. It's what you do after the fire is out that is dangerous. As long as the well is blowing, there is a possibility the well could flash and reignite, injuring or killing everyone on location. This dangerous potential is why you can't wait for water, or to borrow equipment from the next location. Everything has to be in place to cap the well once the fire is out. The less time spent capping the well after the fire is out, the less likely someone gets hurt.

Red was invited to meet with President George Bush the following day to again express his concerns with the firefighting operations in Kuwait. President Bush listened to Red's concerns and pledged to give his support to help solve the logistical problems. By the beginning of July, the much needed equipment began rolling into Kuwait and by mid-July, Red was requested to deploy a third firefighting team to Kuwait

Our Alaska Pipeline is a listed target that was issued to the American First Ranked.

While in the meantime, we continue destroying military targets, and Iraqi conscripts try desperately to surrender before a shot is fired. Military operations have already begun. The mainstream press is too busy spinning Jaques and Gerhardt into leaders of Clintonian proportion to figure it out.

I know. Everything is going according to plan.....

Good article about Red Adair...


Would you go to Iraq if you were asked to do so?

I’d have to convince my wife to let me go first. She says, no way—that I’ve done enough of that in my lifetime.

Isn't it funny how many terrorist groups jump up to defend one who many say has no terrorist ties.

BTW, this is probably just another ploy put out by Iraqi's to try to scare us off.

I'm sure I'd be useless there. All the hi-tech equipment they're using today would have me flummoxed. When I was in RVN with thought night scopes were the be-all and end-all of military technology!
