That is it so far.

Thank you Holy Spirit.

You're welcome, Thread Nazi!

In this case, the source was me reporting what I had just seen on Fox news.

Not sure why you are on this Jihad, but I assure you that I was not making this up or trying to waste your time. I don't do that. I think that when the reports come out (ps- they already have), you will be able to add to your ledger that poster William McKinley doesn't just make crap up.

(ARGH! I talked in third person! Somebody shoot me!)

I for one am grateful for the "heads-up". If I am that in need of a link - I will cruise the web. In the meantime I appreciate the info. Many thanks!

I got my money on the Islamists.

Assume so unless proven otherwise.

[leadpenny]

Good job. Some people just seem to hate everything around them.

[RightOnline]

OK, y'all............I'll turn this thing right around!! :)

[VaBthang4]

Brilliant rejoinder from the shallow end.

Milosevic is a commie. The PM was a leftist. Did either deserve the treatment that each was given? Time will tell, but Serbia may be better off with a new leader who isn't a leftist.

Your screen name is interesting in light of your posting of this article. Did the connection occur to you when you posted?

[I Am Not A Mod]

I just got your reply to my freepmail. I would love to post it here, but will only do so with your permission. However, since you indicated that I should have posted my freepmail instead of freepmailing it, consider it done.

I shouldn't have made that sarcastic comment to the thread, so let me start with an apology.

The breaking news stuff is challenging. Letting it go does open us up to being played by those who are just trying to be troublemakers. But not letting it go diminishes the site.

We evaluate each on on a case by case basis. If the poster is well established, or if a moderator has seen the same thing, or we have vouchers from respected freepers, we tend to want to let things go.

We can use this account when we want to reply and not have the replies to our reply fill up the Admin Moderator self-search.

I *do* appreciate you trying to help the site self-police itself, and regret the first post I made to you because I think it was off-putting. Regards, AM

Ahh, if only all AM's were so inclined, and members were just a little slower to use the abuse button.

[Mamzelle]

Good grief. Who made you Commandant? You've wasted more time complaining than anyone has reading. Quit wasting *mine*. Every few posts you pop up with a complaint, and I'm trying to read the thread.

[William McKinley]

No it did not.

But it did hit me when I just posted a moment ago "Somebody shoot me". I meant that figuratively :-)

You are right Milo is a commie and so is this dead piece of crap. However, Milo was ruthless in fighting radical Islamo's and what did he get-the Hague-thanks in large part to this pusher upper of daisies.

And even the Pope offers Saddam exile. The world makes me sick.

[Tin Foil] Ahmad Shah Massoud (deceased) -- Born in 1953 in Panjsher, Afghanistan. Massoud fled to Pakistan when the Afghan King was deposed in 1973. He was trained there by Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto's government to go back and fight in Afghanistan. In 1975, he returned to Panjsher and, after the communist coup of 1978, joined Burahanuddin Rabbani. He drove the Russians out of the Panjsher Valley. After the Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan, he expanded his military control in areas north of Kabul and in northern Afghanistan. Massoud was a key player in establishing Northern Alliance in 1992 . He became Defense Minister when Rabbani was installed as President in 1992. Rabbani and Massoud moved to the north of the country and continue to be recognized as Afghanistan's rightful rulers by most of the world. "The Lion of Panjsher" (as Massoud was called) was killed on September 10, 2001 by suicide bombers . [/Tin Foil]

Yesterday was 3/11/03 and the eighteen-month anniversary of the WTC, Pentagon and Pennsylvania terror attacks. Could this be a signal of another round of world terrorism?

Something to think about.
