it's actually the size of Texas but that sound bite would let the media buttholes call it Dubya's War

I am kind of laughing as I watch FNC reporting, from the Pentagon, that Iraqi Command and Control is crumbling. Have they had any evidence that it was operating since this thing started:)

Well to be a monday morning quarterback, if we had followed up with a few more cruise missles about 20 minutes after the first ones, there might have been no one left to carry a stretcher...I remember the first news conference when the two frantic clowns said something about an assasination, which at the time I thought was telling...

Saddam Hussein phoned President George W. Bush.

"I had a dream about the United States," he said. "I could see the whole country, and over every building and home was a banner," said Saddam.

"What was on the banner?" asked Mr. Bush.

"LONG LIVE SADDAM!" answered the dictator.

"I'm so glad that you called," said President Bush, "because I too had a dream. In my dream, I saw Iraq and it was more beautiful than ever; totally rebuilt with many tall, gleaming office buildings, large residential subdivisions with swimming pools in every yard; and over every building and home was a big, beautiful banner."

"What did the banner say?" asked Saddam.

"I don't know," answered President Bush, "I can't read Hebrew."

US believes they have pictures of SH being carried off on the stretcher, but you raise a good point.

i think we have understood finally that it was on 3/19/ the thing I still didn't hear for sure was if the panic digging was before saddam came out on a stretcher. He could have been dead on that stretcher. I wonder if they have some kind of heat detecting thing from the satellite that could tell if he was dead

yes I think they will because Judge napalatano on fnc said an argument could be made that it was illegal since war had not been declared ..or something like that

Man, that's a good one! I gotta pass that on!

Reminds me of the joke about the Irish pub habitants who call off a war with Iraq because there's no way they can handle 2 million POWs....
