Thank you for joing the effort. British resolve is well documented.

I saw a thread on this vote. It was pulled before it had more than a couple of replies. Not sure why it was pulled.

[sirchtruth]

It's good to be with those who would say NI!

Or is it Nu, bring the Shrubbery!

Victory!

[steveegg]

It's fitting that the Kuwaitis fired the first shots.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Always knew you were with us. Glad it's official.

[sausageseller]

412 Right thinkers!

The yanks say, THANK YOU!

A cargo vessel, feared to be on an al-Qaeda suicide mission, came within 800 yards of RFA Sir Bedivere during a tense hour-long stand-off. Crew members trained two machineguns on the 500-tonne ship, The stand-off ended only when it was driven away by the heavily armed USS Ardent.

This was extremely suspicious behavior by the cargo ship. Why was it not sunk outright? Or boarded?? Meanwhile, I hereby do offer the proper salutation for the vote of Parliament...

[Ben Bolt]

Yup . I just heard that on the radio . Good luck to you & yours Sir !

[lavrenti]

Congratulations. Looks like Tony picked up a few votes.

So, is there a betting pool on when Clair Short gets sacked? Good to see her crawl and beg for mercy after her vicious personal attack on Blair.

[Airborne Longhorn]

Airborne HOOOO-AAAAAaaahhh, amigo!

There's no reason to wait around any longer. The family rejected the ultimatium, thereby dispensing with the 48 hours.

Way to go, Tony!! Thanks, MadIvan. Can't find a thread on this - nothing on CNN yet. Surprise, surprise.

Ivan, I want tell you how proud we all of you, your Prime Minister & House of Commons tonight. I can't tell you, in words, how that vote made me feel. I was whistleing "Rule Brittania" all day long. Except for that little trift we had back in 1776 through 1812 you are the finest friends we've ever had. Although I could never bow to your Queen, I'd love to shake the lady's hand.

When our boys march into Bagdad shoulder to shoulder that should shut the French up.

By the way, after this whole thing is over you have our permission to kick France's a$$ one more time, if you want.

[OKSooner]

Yo, Ivan. Say thanks to your MP for us.

BTW, is the expression "Here, Here!", or is it "Hear, Hear!"?

[Citizen Tom Paine]

With respect to the most formidable assault in modern times

D Day 6 June 1944

12,000 planes

5,000 ships

130.000 troops the first wave

That was some show IMHO

[mhking]

And so it begins...

[JEC]

Thanks guys, se you in Baghdad.

[teletech]

How soon til we start blowin' up stuff? I salute Tony Blair & the UK! The UK KNOWS what it means to be an ally!
