Imagine that? So many secrets being exposed by this campaign. It's time to sic the IRS on the UN...no more allowance for you!

[slimer]

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

Well, it's a nice thought.

[nicmarlo]

I thought I was only an hour flight from the UK to Iraq....didn't they leave the UK yesterday around 11:15 a.m. and the massive bombing started only an hour later?

[smokeyjon]

Why is CNN insisting on labeling everything the "Strike on Iraq"? What a steaming pile.

[RummyChick]

Oh great......time to mute Fox.....Daira Alexander is on.......poor girl is as dumb as dirt.

[Neenah]

Time to Bomb Iraq !!!

[The Wizard]

many hours

[smokeyjon]

Noooo, it's about 5.5-6 hours. If they are using ALCM (cruise missles), those can be fired about 1 hour outside their targets.

[nicmarlo]

I thought I was only an hour flight from the UK to Iraq = I thought it was . . . .

[Miss Marple]

LOL! I accidentally caught one of those Clinton Library classes on C-SPAN! The students (all 15-20 of them) looked comatose. Hilarious!

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Yep. When they know they're really free we'll hear horrors.

[killjoy]

forced to watch the Clinton Library classics

Where can I sign up? There are probably some really good pornos in there....

[two23]

CNN=Commie News Network. It's like morbid curiosity to toggle over to see what they are up to! I can only take about 2 or 3 seconds before they peg my barf meter.

Those restaurants in NY are expensive!!

Too true! I mean, they have to maintain their dignity—they can't be expected to rub elbows with the commoners.

We must be civilized, dahling!

LOL!

[woodyinscc]

These Kurds have waited years for this, you are right!

[Dog]

Can you listen to a webcam???

We all have MSNBC's webcam on ....you really can hear the explosions...

[nicmarlo]

5 - 6 hour flight...okay

As I type this, I am hearing explosions in Baghdad on the web cam (small ones)

" Chris Matthews on MSNBC trying to help the Dems "save face" saying "the majority are now onboard"! More BS from BSNBC"

He's unbelieveable!! He's suddenly rah,rah ,pro war,pro military !! Anti war demonstrators don't represent most Americans, America gets it,understands what this war is about, the Congress( read Democrats)supports this war. This from the same guy who was hysterical,red faced and spitting a few weeks ago, almost crying that he didn't understand what this was all about,the world was against us,blah,blah. This has got to be one of the biggest Democrat CYA attempts in a long time.But-the Democrats big anti war,anti American butt is so big and was stuck so prominently in America's face by Daschle and the lesser Democrats- Peter Jennings,Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton- that nothing will cover it. Nice try Matthews,but, we have a loooong memory and we will never forget how the Democrats tried to undercut the President and the military-Never!!

"If Saddam was indeed killed, expect the lefties to adopt him as their poster boy ala Che Guevara"

If they should do that I think we should be diligent in bombarding the net with stories of his cruelty and barbarism that cannot be ignored.
