Norm Coleman's middle name is "Integrity".

Hey, he also was the ONE who got Hockey back in Minnesota with the Playoff bound Minnesota Wild !!!!!!

On the first Opening Night, I was at the Watering Hole by the XCEL Energy Center and Norm Coleman walked in.

I started the chant "NORM - NORM - NORM and the whole place was shouting it.

Norm had tears in his eyes !!! Honest.

Does anyone know of a website that is keeping a good track on our dead and injured so far?

I'm trying to keep notes, but I'd like to find confirmation with names.

Herad Tom Brokaw call it a a fragging. 1st qusetion is this guy a muslim.2 Why would a commander put a guy on his $%^^& list on guard duty on the munitions locker. Lets not let them cover this up as a personality dispute. As it was said about John Mohamed (DC Sniper), he did something similar during GW1.

I desperately need a shower but don't want to miss anything. I rationalize that our troops don't have the luxury so it's the least I could do - sacrafice for the cause.

What a crock I am.

My brother-in-law asked me a question about the bombing which He wants to know why with all the bombing in Bagdad that the lights are still on. I explained about the reasoning of leaving it on. he wants to know why when they bomb all those building the lights around them stay on? I explained about pinpoint bombing but it wasen't sinking in. We went round on this so as I am dizzy. He's been a bear since he was put on thyroid medicine. I wonder if the cameras are kind of far away and they are seeing building blocks away? I know his mother would like to send him there to check for him self. I know lots of people with more smarts then me will read this. God Bless our Troops and the USA!!!!!!

in times of war you don't exactly have time to sit down and have a trial, if they saw him do it, kill him

An interesting thing that Brit Hume brought up last night was that he thought that the reporters—who used to see the military with disdain—would begin to have alot more respect for the professionalism and excellence of the troops. We can sure hope!

I imagine that facing what the soldier's face would truly be humbling.

Amazing! I think you're right.

I knew he was genuine when I watched him debate Mondale!

WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Really glad to hear that. I like Coleman a LOT...and was so disappointed in him for voting NO.

Glad to know it will come back up again....after all, this wasn't even the green light.....it was just to 'start' the process.

THANK YOU!!!!! I now can tell the REASON when I see folks trashing him due to this vote. (yes.....some are, sigh)

what is fragging

Fragging is when one soldier frags (fragmentation grenade)at another soldier.

[slimer]

Thanks for the update. It's good to know there are other things going on besides the war.

I saw a piece on the 101st earlier this week. It was about a raw kid from NY who wasn't keeping up and might not make the trip north. He looked pretty shaky to me, physically and mentally. Can't imagine they would have him guarding material out away from the main post though.
