Hahah,,me to, twice!

They keep calling the prayers at the wrong hours to get the civilians out in the open when the bombers are coming.

[DonnerT]

Don't forget something for the 'numb butt'!

Mostly the poppycock was at your ad hominem regarding my education.

I've never met you, much less have I ever before had the opportunity to insult you. You ought do your homework and read your posts before cocking your middle finger. You, my friend, are lost.

Well, you shot your load, so here's my reply to that of yours which may or may not have had anything to do with what I wrote: You excuse the attack on the Cole.

Irrationality, fear, cowardice... why bother with the distinction? It's all the same. And none of it is legitimate war. If you don't agree with that, then you agree with the scum who excused the attack on the Pentagon as having been somehow "legitimate." That was not an act of war. It was terrorism and cowardice. And we won't talk about using civilians as the weapon.

Go and tell the families of the Cole and Pentagon victims that their beloved died in theory.

Carl from Marietta, I think he's got us surrounded... lol!

Geraldo's been at HOOTERS signing autographs.

No, no! SNL must do the Centcom press conference. Remember in Gulf War I--the turbaned Arab reporter kept asking "General, where is the 3rd Infrantry Division?". It was a classic.

[July 4th]

Did you catch the Laurie Dhue sign?

[aBootes]

The military and the media isn't mentioning the Muslim part of the attacker.

Has anybody gotten to the bottom of how an American muslim (who cares if he's black) can link up so quickly with people in Kuwait who want to pull off this kind of thing? Did he deploy with this intent? Did he deploy with contacts? Or are his "social skills" w/ foreigners that good?

Sorry if this has already come up. I've been away for awhile.

TY. I need the Vicarious thrill.

Sky Stuart Ramsey showing the tents involved in the bombing. C.O. is being treated now. 16 soldiers hurt.

[prairiebreeze]

Military commmentator on MSNBC saying some forces are as far as Najaf. According to the map that's about 100 miles south west of Bahgdad.

It's still to early to figure any of that out, I think.

[SoldiersGirl]

Think SNL has had time to make the now infamous Torie jacket?

[gop212]

The potential is there

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Geraldo on FoxNews w/ the elite brigade of the 82nd Airborne division. Task force "Devil".

Commanding Officer Col. John Campbell - Measure of success in Afghanistan..."Since we've been here there have been no direct attacks on the U.S." Afghani people saying thanks. Kids going to school.

[tort_feasor]

Thanks for the update.

What is the "torrie jacket"

[Fledermaus]

I doubt they show SNL tonight. From the TV Guide, it looks like a rerun anyway...Walken and Foo Fighters. That was a few weeks ago I believe.
