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, Ragtime Cowgirl for her Exclusive Live Transcription Service (tm), the AdminMods for their tolerance, mhking for the video links, and, of course,...

[Jaded]

Achmed and his friend are back!! More entertainment.

[Timeout]

Maybe Ahmed et al just didn't want to step on Miller's gig!

[pitinkie]

They are fixing the sound on the Bagcam, Achmed is apologizing for the crossed wires! LOL

[pitinkie]

Fiasco with nightline!!

[Pro-Bush]

who is this reporter that slept thru his alarm?

Missed Nightline report. Probably smoked to much hash last night..He's busted.

FOX about to tell story of Lynch by a guy who saw her beaten coming up at 12:22 Eastern

Regarding "preemptive war" and the President's policies:

If you are intending to speak to folks about the President's National Security policy, I suggest that you take a look at the following documents and not rely on any lamestream media source:

President Bush Delivers Graduation Speech at West Point - June 1, 2002

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2002/06/20020601-3.html

and

The National Security Strategy of the United States of America

http://www.whitehouse.gov/nsc/nss.html

The administration's philosophy and policy is more accurately described as the "Liberty Doctrine". The lamestream media has attempted to belittle it by calling it a "doctrine of pre-emption", but that is a gross mischaracterization, as you will note if you look into those documents. Preemption may fit into it, but it is not at all the meat and potatoes of the Bush Doctrine. The press has worked to demean it much as they did by calling it Reagan's "Star Wars".

I might suggest that it would be useful for you to bookmark these and check into them later when there is more time for perusal. Actually, the speech is fairly quick to read, and (as usual) a Bush home run and you may wish to look at it now. The Strategy paper is far more complex, and not a quick read.

I won't be around for discussion this morning (having gone 40+hrs w/o sleep yet again...) but you can FReepmail me if you like, and we'll have a discussion of it at a later date... or you all can have at it tonight. It would be a good 'un if the thread is slow today.

[Ramius]

what fiasco? ...for us TV impaired?

[reformed_democrat]

Yep, we're the newest members of The First Page Club.

I wonder when we'll get the decoder rings?

[Timeout]

This is NOT in keeping with the humor here tonight, but it's fantastic nonetheless.

the story of the Iraqi man who spotted Pvt. Jessica Lynch in that hospital ... he risked life and family to get the word to our troops. Make THIS man head of gov't!

Iraqi Man Risked All to Help Free American Soldier (Wash Post)

[pitinkie]

the reporter on the Cam...he said he missed his spot on nightline..overslept..said it was a fiasco..asking if there was uprising at airport!!

[Diddle E. Squat]

Bob Arnot on. Olberman letting him talk.

[Carolina]

Who is the Elvis impersonator on BagCam?

[pitinkie]

Now endless takes on his story.."321.." droning on and on.

[pitinkie]

I am hoping he will say his name..he said he hasn't showered in a few.
