The cleric told Ollie that he had instucted all the people to turn over the foreigners. Ollie asked him, "But aren't WE foreigners, too?" The cleric replied, "No. No. They're the foreigners. You're the AMERICANS." I lost it again. Wow.

After those weeks of happy faces of the liberated Afghanis, I didn't think I had much left. Wrong. Seeing the happy faces of the liberated Iraqis are just as wonderful.

Screw them. Every stinking Demo member of Congress is NO BETTER than the Iraqi military...the Soviet thugs...the French.

Now...do you want to know what I really think?

Pray, do tell...

Ever stuck four deerlegs vertically in the snow outside someone's house and then called them up to tell them Rudolph had fallen off their roof?

Now lightly cover a red lensed (or LED) flashlight near the front legs....

"kurdish women soldiers"....no wonder our SF's up north weren't too upset that Turkey wouldn't let the 4ID in country...

[mhking]

Any word on what the deal is on these fires that Steve Herrigan is talking about on FNC?

[melodie]

Good Morning. Reporting in from San Diego.

What got me misty eyed was listening to the reservists that Rick L is embedded with. Each one he talked to, he asked what they did back home. Alomst every single one of them was a student. Students...defending our country, putting their lives on the line in a foreign land, fighting to make the lives of other human beings better. I was contrasting that to the college students back home who are walking out of class in protest. I am very proud of those boys, if you all did not know, they have been on active duty for 16 months.

Its the Finance Min. building that is burning..

Not a whole lot of new Iraq news. I see on the Fox News website that Mosul is in the hands of the allies, 10 suspects in the USS Cole bombing escaped from a jail in Yemen, fighting still going on in Tikrit.

[null and void]

Big escape of Cole suspects(Al Quida). 10 of them

Good! Now they are only one Predator/Hellfire from justice...
