[history]
March 24, 2003 -- IN combat, the ideal leader is the man who remains calm and methodical under fire.

A useful antidote to the nattering nabobs of negativism.

A God Bless America bump!

Ever wonder how todays medeia would have handled the Battle of the Bulge?We don't really have to wonder, do we? How about D-Day or Iwo Jima?
Hell, come to think of it, how about Pearl Harbor?
Oh, what did we do to make the Japanese hate us?
To: conservativecorner
They lost 19, we lost 3000 on 9/11. I believe when this war is over, the disparity will be even greater in our favor.

**We're winning, the Iraqis are losing, and the American people have executive seats for what may prove to be the most successful military campaign in history.**

**They appear to be from the fidayeen, gangs of murderous thugs, and from the security services and the Special Republican Guards - the regime's Gestapo and SS.**
Calling it like it is. I like this guy.
