Dang...I know the Democrats bug us, but mowing over them is no way to solve anything.
or is it?.....

Those restaurants in NY are expensive!!

Dear Australian soldiers, remember this: every individual Iraqi has been wounded physically or emotionally. You are on a sacred mission. You are on a mission to bring a smile to a child's face. You will help relieve the elderly of their agonies. You will help pave the road to a new life. You will give hope to thousands of mothers who lost their beloved ones in the dark torture chambers of the regime.

Your names will be recorded as heroes in the bright lists of history. You will help restore the weeping face of humanity with your good deeds.

Once you set foot on that land, remember it is the land where Abraham, the father of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, was born. It was there in ancient Ur, on the river bank of the Euphrates, that civilisation took shape.

I plead with you to be vigilant. I also plead with you to take care of my people. Treat them with dignity. In return, they will treat you with generosity. They will open their arms and hearts for you.

But be aware of those who have sold their souls to the dictator. Be aware of their tricks and manipulation, but be fair. Let them realise that you are there for every human being.

As your families back here in Australia will be waiting eagerly for you to return safely, I, too, am waiting eagerly to see my brothers and friends in Iraq alive and safe. And I trust you will do everything possible to achieve it. I am proud of you, mates.

Yours sincerely,

An Iraqi Australian citizen, Hadi Kazwini

"From a moderaptor?"

ROTFL! Do you have a picture of one of those?

MSNBC showed some video of burning oil wells. Still quite a site.

Imagine the hellish world of the leftist at DUh.com:

There haven't been many (or as they might view it, 'enough') casualties.
No refugees have shown up at the camps set up at the Jordanian border.
The LIGHTS are still on in Baghdad.
The bridges in downtown Baghdad are still intact.
Oil prices are FALLING, dramatically.
Even gasoline prices are falling, dramatically.
Leftists just escaped hours of 'un-minded' video of Iraqis saying they'd have committed suicide had the Allies not come.
Their axis of weasels buddies France and Germany are universally reviled and boycotted here.

It has been, so far, an Explosion of Schadenfreude to read 'the other website.'

Oh man, General on Fox describing tank battle as though we'll be shooting fish in a barrel. Our tanks have range of 2400 meters, theirs, 600 meters. Just stand back, ID, and take them out one at a time. Can do at night.

The men in the open will be MOAB believers, I suspect. They are toast. I wish they would see the light, and lay down arms. Hate to see the loss of life.

Just took a peek at CNN--they are REALLY having a field day with anti-war protesters--sickening

Would that be protest rallies that are being funded by A.N.S.W.E.R ... A Known Commie Organization???

"Crony -ism....the upper crust that benefited from skimming the Oil for Food $$$...they're who the Iraqis are REALLY angry at."


Do not forget the UN! They are complicit in this also.
They have been the middleman in this program, and adamantly
refuse to disclose records. They are not only impotent and
irelevant they are corrupt!!

Colette just watched them start the engines ....not more than a half-hour ago..

[sweetliberty]

"but mowing over them is no way to solve anything."

ROTFL! I hadn't thought about that. Could work. You just HAD to go giving me ideas!

[Petronski]

Also:

No missiles have impacted U.S. troops or the nation of Israel
Oil wellhead fires can be counted using only two hands.

[Socratic]

I'm glad others think that this is noteworthy.

[mhking]

Colette just watched them start the engines ....not more than a half-hour ago..

Which means we are looking at an 8P ET run...

[killjoy]

Do you have a picture of one of those?

We could show you, but we would have to have you killed.

[Cboldt]

I am literally moved to tears by that. Thank you.

[Petronski]

Further disgusting the lefties:

The popularity of our President has surged.
The popularity of Tony Blair has shot up.

[cactusSharp]

or chained to a tv and forced to watch the Clinton Library classes....mean ain't I

[two23]

Their guy with the mike was in and amongst the protesters practically patting them on the back and talking with them.

We need to do all we can to ensure stories like this get wide distribution, always with the notation that these first-hand stories are likely written by embedded journalists so it isn't mere propoganda. E-mail to friends, write Fox and CNN, whatever Freepers can think of to do. We can't leave it to the alphabet networks to present the news spun their way.
