We need to step up the pace ......before the UN gets involved.

The UN was involved, thats how we got here, remember?

I would have thought the media mouthpieces would have wanted to discuss this until we all turned the TV off.

"How many +5,000 post threads do we see that don't end up in the Smokey Back Room or are laden with grousing and flame wars?"

I think it has to do with realizing that we need to set differences aside and pull together because we're fighting for the same team on this. Too bad the democRATS seem unabale to see that, but then I haven't been certain for a long time that they ARE on the same team.

Per FOX, the President had a briefing this morning. Imagine that, he's in touch after all.

Hehe. The leftists just keep shoving that ol foot deeper and deeper into the mouth!

How in the world did our President manage to stand so firmly on his word and act like a President responsible for protecting his nation should act while exposing - with such ease - the leftist jerks in our nation. He is stripping them of any remnants of integrity they might have pretended to have with such clarity it boggles the mind. America won't forget. ( We're here to remind um...hehe)

I was thinking that garlic and butter might be very good on some Portugese bread.

[Sacajaweau]

Oops, I take that back. I had seen a much darker picture and the stream didn't show.

[Maigrey]

I see that the folks at FNC are asking about the sleep issues with the troops. whew Hew!

[Fledermaus]

Gave up at 4 am....cold took over...sleep needed...up now and showered!

What have I missed? he he, just kidding!

[Petronski]

Please don't laugh....but could you please convert those 30-50 kms to miles?

Multiply by 0.6: 18 to 30 miles.

[glock rocks]

wolf is too busy giving away special forces positions in northern iraq right now.

[B4Ranch]

Look at #1874

That is the proper way.

[justshe]

I think, also, some trolls masquarade as staunch conservatives in order to disrupt. They aren't too hard to pick out when you start observing their patterns of posting over a period of time.

[texxie]

amen

just announced that a lot of tonight's air work will be Tank killing A-10 for ground support

The A-10 being used means our forces that have been coming up from Kuwait are ready to confront the outer ring defense of the Iraqi's. The A-10 is a veritable killing machine, it has a 30mm Gatling Gun that fires up to 1200 rds(depending on explosive or armor piercing)of shells that weigh 2lbs. It has 8 hard points that can carry different configurations of munitions. The Iraqi's defending the outer ring are in real trouble.

[Maigrey]

Garlic Italian bread. even tastier...

[Cboldt]

Sure, 1 km is 0.6 km, so 30-50 km is 18-30 miles.

[texxie]

yes!! would you like that heated?

[RummyChick]
