BBC analyst saying that the lack of response from Saddamn may be playing for sympathy from the world.

Earlier today MSNBC's Abrems(?) interviewed a terrorist expert. The expert said Saddam has PR firm(s) who are on his payroll to make him look good and he is currently taking his cues from them.

It's not a weakness. It's an ingrained desire to protect the species.

It's an ingrained territorial imperative. Don't f*** with MY woman. Call it a strength if you want. But it is a fairly rigid position, I have it, and if you're a guy, I'll bet you have it too.

William Schneider just said "THIS IS BUSH'S...He said many,in fact most Democrats think Bush lied about WMD'S

FN: Greg Jarrett: "Whether this Iraqi television report is true or propaganda we just don't know." ROTFL!

Yes, we do.

A close friend of mine and his wife are homeschooling their two boys. Going to their house for a meal is a total revelation on what public schools do to kids. These boys can speak on nearly every subject, have a good grasp on current events, and are completely respectful pre-teens.

One of the anchors just said "I could read the sentence if the telepromter would start moving faster..."

Another asked the military analyst "We've captured H1 and H2...now, what does that refer to?"

As if H1 and H2 hadn't been mentioned on their TV netwrok hundreds of times in the last few days!

Hmmm .. was there a name mentioned of this PR Firm?

I'm watching the golf tournament on NBC here in the Northeast. The local television news babe broke in to announce a special counseling helpline that you could call if you were feeling anxiety about the war.

My wife says she bets the schools will hire special counselors. She's right.

I'm disgusted.

I just saw this overhead shot from Washington Square Arch....not even 5,000...

Fox showing a huge amount of anti-war protesters in NY.
Good grief, talk about a day late and a dollar short. These people are clueless.

It is a VERY expensive designer jacket, which I bet either her husband or her children bought as a gift, and she got stuck wearing it when they asked her why she didn't wear it.

I once wore a macaroni necklace to work.

After watching Saddam and his senior officials lie time after time, I have no doubt that they would be engaged in heavy psy-ops. Unless he is dead, the continued opposition from France and Germany and Iraq's almost complete failure to mount and defense so far, are very suspicious to me.
