Just you wait till we start to open up the WMD depots, and also all the prisons, and the torture chambers, and the Iraqis start to tell the story of living in hell for 25 years.....there will be a HUGE swing in world opinion...BTW..don't apologize for feeling the way you do...you're human..you hate to see any unnecessary suffering..but sometimes it's the only way....

Hang in there Peach, there are many countries that are with us in freeing the people in Iraq .. the ones that are not are ONLY worried about the money they won't be able to steal from the Iraqi people anymore

Have Faith .. it will work out

[justshe]

I can't imagine what that Idiot Helen is going to say! Urgh {shudder}

[Peach]

Yes - just wasn't prepared emotionally for what it would be. Sometimes I think ignorance really is Blix.

I stopped watching CNN when they made another obvious and suspicious decision. They were interviewing a muslim from Kuwait coming out of a mosque. They were asking him how he felt about America and Iraq. He was stating how wonderful it was for the Iraqi people and how most people were happy the US was doing this. Then he was asked about all the people protesting against the US and he was starting to say how few people were really protesting and then... the tape messed up and the announcer [don't remember who] said that there was a taping problem. Then said... and besides we all saw 10's of thousands of people in Egypt protesting and went on to cover the anitwar protests.

It was so blatent I was about to throw a shoe through the TV, I decided to switch channels instead. It is just sickening.

Thanks for the transcript.

I don't know how Rummy kept from biting their heads off. From what I saw, he looked decidedly perturbed with them.

[tomkat]

what she said !
'sides, a big part of the 'world' has hated us for decades, yet folks from all over would give their left nut, ovary, etc. to get here ...

[theophilusscribe]

bet we'll start to hear what most Americans think of the reporters

Many of them are as dumb, liberal, and ignorant as Hollywood. They just were not pretty enough to be on the big screen.

Unless it's a horror flick—right, Helen Thomas?

Yikes!

[mtbopfuyn]

Hmm, CNN must be peeking in on FR. Thanks CNN for answering my question about exact location on the map the bombs hit and what's what.

[SoldiersGirl]

It's about time Turkey....welcome aboard.

[Dolphy]

Our objectives are just, Peach. That is what we must take solace in. Could we really have lived with a French victory leaving the sadistic tyrant in place? Would the innocents of Iraq ever have forgiven us?

[ken5050]

CONTEST!!!..guess what Helen's question will be?

[P.O.E.]

Fox confirming: Turkey has opened two corridors for overflights.

[knak]

Just keep praying while freeping.

well said and have been!
