Please have mercy on us dial up limited FReepers! Limit the big graphics, post links instead. A brief description of what the graphic is would help: To all who helped this get started, thank you! Special thanks to null and void for keeping these threads running on the weekends, Mo1 for the screamer, the AdminMods for their tolerance, mhking for the video links, and, of course,...
The NYT just outted themselves BIG TIME!
Well, I meant "puff" in the sense of bigger talk than the action can support. I think the coalition has had a tough fight -- just because it looks easy doesn't mean it is easy. Lots of bravery out there.
Meanwhile, Brian Williams (the least credible reporter, according to polls) of MSNBC reports we (the Brits) are still bogged down in the south.
Considering the huge Concrete Wall that Chirac & Schroeder put up between us, who cares about a stupid fence? If they want to make amends, they know where to find us, is my opinion.
I think a "major league suck-up" is required in this case. As far as I have seen, they are still spouting the same crap making the wall thicker and higher.
I hope President Bush has enough common sense to see that these Old Europeans are not our friends.
Listen, if you have ever known someone from Iraq, you KNOW how brutalized that society has been. I have known over a dozen. Students here have to get good grades and go back: their family's held hostage, for example. The stories are numerous, and very few Iraqis have not been brutalized in some way by Saadumb.
Powell said this morning that the UN role was undetermined. I say to our "allies," if they want a role, "How about camel pooper scooper?
Corporal Sharon Aster, Her Majesty's Adjutant Generals Corps
She joined one of the first British patrols to take off their helmets in the town of Safwan. And her stunning looks and sunny smile won her an army of admirers.Sharon, 25, from the Wirral, Cheshire, said: I cant believe the reception Ive had it must be my long blonde hair. The kids and some of their dads have been queuing up to give me a kiss its totally unexpected.
She was the centre of attention as she handed out water, sweets and biscuits to children in the rundown town near the Kuwaiti border. She even allowed the smiling kids to try on her camouflaged desert helmet in return for a peck on the cheek.
A crowd of 100 gathered around her Land Rover and she struggled to make an exit as watchful colleagues scanned the dangerous streets for snipers.
Sharon, who is married to military intelligence corporal Alex Astor, 25, said: Its nice to get my helmet off and show the locals that were human. MORE HERE
Meanwhile, who knew---Vladimir Putin is really Peewee Herman!
Oh well, all's well that end's well -- she is now married and has provided me with two absolutely precious granddaughters (one of which she has threatened to sell into slavery LOL!)
Welll...I used to scream in my sister's ear because it wouldn't leave any marks--does that count?
Heh, heh. Sewer rats.
That's what I thought, too! LOL!
