Good Morning.

This allows us to stay abreast of the situation in general, while also providing a means of obtaining specific information.

To all who helped this get started, thank you!

[null and void]

Who is the spokesperson for these thread?

Umm it's more of a mob.

I started day 3 as a courtesy to An.American.Expatriot, and it sorta degenerated from there...

Ge. Brooks did a good job briefing the info.

Prairie

[Carolina]

Move over Jesse & Al, a new hero may be entering stage right.

Hear, hear. Did you catch his name?

It seems that lack of visibility had something to do with it. Smoke from the oil wells. At least the first one went down because of that. They had their night vision Goggles on and thus limited periforal vision.

What in the hell is Steffie doing there?

Be Seeing You,

Chris

[prairiebreeze]

General Vince Brooks I think

[GOPyouth]

First reporter managed to fire off about a 10 pronged question.

[Overtaxed]

Thanks, Howlin! That particular brain cell must have died.

Unfortunately if youre black and pro-America they don't consider you black. If Colin Powell bcame president they wouldn't admit we had a black president.

[Carolina]

What in the hell is Steffie doing there?

Cuz the frontline would be too much for his constitution.

[OXENinFLA]

FRANKS "We are on our timeline."

[birdwoman]

I thought he was very well spoken, too. I can see him in a debate doing very well.

[AFPhys]

.you'd think we'd be past this high school stuff....

In some ways I agree... in other ways, I'm glad after all these years, I'm not quite past it... anyway...

I decided to print BellyGirl off for one of my francophagic friends without net linkage, and for some reason my 'puter does not want to print her. It locked out on me... 'way out ... three times I've had to reboot... I can't understand what it's problem is... It has never acted this way before...

Can someone help me understand this?

[Cboldt]

Fox had one of the "inventors" of SnA, and my take is that it's essence is speed, coupled with measured and carefully directed use of force. But spped was really big -- how do we do in one week, what takes three months now?

[Timeout]

General Brooks, I think.

Good lookin' dude.

[Carolina]

General Vince Brooks

Thanks.

[Straight Vermonter]

It is great to see a black American front and center like that.

[killjoy]

. If Colin Powell bcame president they wouldn't admit we had a black president.

I thought Clinton was our first black president...

[GOPyouth]

He walked up to the podium and said, "Pardon me whilst I whip this out."..

[Sacajaweau]

Georgie boy does that while also trying to feed the answer that he wants. He was basically "stopped" from his spin though he will certainly do it later.
