Good Morning.

Monica Lewinsky = Cigar Wanker

[Socratic]

"It's been relatively quiet today..."

Retro, your becoming jaded! (Oh, no)

Today does seem a bit of a let-down from the excitement of yesterday.

[retrokitten]

That guy in the middle of the picture in head to toe pea soup green looks like he's doing the John Travolta Saturday Night Fever disco move.

[Solson]

He should be!! "....stayin' alive stayin' alive...."

[MEG33]

I had posted 2 deaths from fire fight so wanted to give the latest report.. one death.

[not-alone]

Bazookas is complaining that Marines are humiliating civilians by searching them, making them lift up their shirts etc. at checkpoints. (NTV BagCam)

They take off their shirts all the time and wave them in the air.

[finnman69]

There's a new belly girl in town

[Mo1]

He's back ..

BTW ... have you seen this one ... GRRRR

Credit military success to Clinton's policies, not Bush's defense spending spree

[retrokitten]

Retro, your becoming jaded! (Oh, no)

LOL! News is just a little slower to come out today. Those are still huge things and Baghdad is still really dangerous.

[Carolina]

Here's Chip Reid again on BagCam. He's kinda gruff. It's funny how his voice rises as he's narrating.

[retrokitten]

That's pretty funny. Didn't people leave the military in droves when Clinton was in office?

[Carolina]

Credit military success to Clinton's policies, not Bush's defense spending spree

What a pile of manure.

[SoldiersGirl]

the fake bekky girl isn't as happy!
hot, but not as happy

[Mo1]

LPlus I found these .. sorry I didn't post them earlier .. the Kids came home

Under the Hotel ('Baghdad Bob' Broadcasting from Basement of the Palestine Tourist Hotel)

Iraqis detained for plotting to bomb Hyatt Amman Hotel

[Carolina]

Testing..1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10, Yakety, yak, blah, blah, blah. Hey, he can count higher than Richard.

[SoldiersGirl]

grrrr

second belly
not fake bekky
I suck

[Mo1]

That's pretty funny. Didn't people leave the military in droves when Clinton was in office?

I know my brother left the Marines during that time ..

In fact he has wall in his house dedicated to his service time .. the one thing he refused to hang on the wall is his discharge paper .. his reason is because it has Clinton's name on it

[Carolina]

Where'd the second Belly Girl come from?

[Mo1]

Yea, but at lest he is praticing lines that he wrote and not what headquarters told him to say

Chip is a big step up from Pretty Boy

[GRRRRR]

VIDEO from CNN and FOXNews...Marines in the back of a truck (deuce1/2?)at night with cars following them. Marines gesturing to cars to stay back. Marines fire warning shots, several times, then car starts coming closer. Marines fire into front of car, car keeps coming and nears the back of truck. Marines open up, yelling to pass the ammo cans, and car veers to passenger side of truck taking MUCH fire...car finally stops with three dead inside.

What about "BACK OFF" don't they understand? A .223 round in the engine and zinging around your beat up Toyota...what don't they understand???

Oh well, we have the duty to protect ourselves.

GRRRRR
