Have you posted this to Front Page? It's great, and will be lost in the fog of the firefight, if you don't put it somewhere else!

Great tagline, incidentally!

Thank God Fox has a General on or these two nitwits would be lost....

I also heard Dr. Bob mention that some sort of aid could not be brought in because of the sancions. Could someone, (smarter than me), give me the cliff note version of the WB and sanctions and the law involving this.

The "law" respecting sanctions has to do with the entity that imposed them, the UN. The World Bank may have some loans with conditions and obligations in the event the borrower is taken out. Those would be a matter of contract, and the venue to resolve any disputes would be spelled out in the contract.

But keep in mind Mao's saying, all power flows from the barrel of a gun. Somebody has to enforce the contract with the use of force. Right now, the USA holds that hand.

Another thing I've heard mentioned on these threads was that the money for the food for oil program for Iraq is held in a French bank? Something like 40 million? Is that true? Or did I misunderstand? I'm just trying to figure out how France, Germany, and Russia are going to try and worm their way into the post-war plans.

40 billion, nine zeros after the "40." France, Germany and Russia share a dilemma as to how they will assert their interests in the wake of USA military success, and USA inclination to turn country over to Iraqis. The first venue these wankers are using is the UN, but as we have seen, the USA is not keen on UN dictates. It'll be interesting to watch this unfold.

Which nitwits are anchoring???

Actually Dari did it again by asking if they were interrogating them right now. He already said they separate them and interrogate them later. Apparently she wasn't listening.

You can tell in his voice he pauses before answering Dari's question. You know he's going..what a dumb..

[FoxGirl]

Yeah, Patti Anne seems to be a fave! I didn't have FOX news during the 2000 election, but asked Santa for a satellite dish for Christmas, so I'm a very happy camper, too!

Just got here....

Wonder if pretty chicken is under his bed

Don't know, but when I walked in I swear I could hear "clucking" coming from the BagCam.

When I looked at it, the camera lens was moving.....does Achmed have a hand crank on that thing?

[Dog]

Bob Sellers and Dara Alexander...

[Cboldt]

Has any other the people, whether Government or otherwise that are so against this war been asked directly what they thought should have been done in regards to the torture, imprisonment, rape and murder that was going on in Iraq on a daily basis?

Yes, they have been asked. In private, and off media.

Don't be frustrated. The DEM party is more interested in itself than it is in the well being of others, nothing new there, move along.

[angelwings49]

Thanks... I should have known :)

[LauraJean]

I hope the UN will not get involved. I would not wish my worst enemy under the care of the UN. The UN is only intrested in lining their own personal pockets with money. I would so love to see a audit on the UN and see where the money is really going.

[Socratic]

Not sure yet, but I may be at Sgt Dowdy's funeral. My respect is enduring for those who have given so much.

[Dog]

Right now I would settle for Rita Crosby...

[Aaron0617]

Dara Alexander...

the beautiful Dari Alexander. I'm disappointed she changed her hairstyle. Maybe thats why she's having so many problems.

[FoxGirl]

Right now I would settle for Rita Crosby...

And her sources? :-)

[Mrs.Liberty]

It was a thread yesterday or the day before.

[angelwings49]

hahahaha... Bob and Dari must really be bad!!

[Dog]

Her sources are soooooooo spppppppppeciallllllll!

[umbagi]

Looking now like the sniper busting caps at our troops from the left might have been a diversion, with a unit of bad guys maneuvering on the right to do a nasty... They got three of them already, but are still moving on the buiding.

[TomGuy]

Roger Ailes.....get better weekend anchors!!!!!!!!

AND DROP THE DANG BANNER so we can see the screen. [Shep jumped the video editors about this during his programs. Now, they rapidly drop them when he's the host.]
