Nice bunch of mess you've got there. Full of innuendoes and one or two mentions of Iraq (noticably most after 9/11), although I notice quite a few of other nationalities mentioned. Thanks anyway.... my statement stands. A speech of fluff and an apology for something that occurred 190 years ago

[Tunehead54]

That's does it for me --- I'm getting my hair cut tomorrow! Mine looks too much like hers.

Yours can't be that bad! And the rest of you can't look that bad unless you're really Helen Thomas lurking! ;-)

[Calpernia]

>>>except for our company

THAT can't be replayed (replaced)

I'm certainly not going to change the channel. I still like FOX News Channel...actually, I love FNC. They just seem a little disorganized or something lately. Perhaps it's due to the fact that it's summer and vacation time. Maybe some mice are playing while the big cat's away.

[Tunehead54]

Absolutely - why would they edit this speech, oh, right he praised America and Americans.

There you go - you win a Kewpie doll (whatever that is)! Its so nice to have alternative news sources! :-)

Here's another link from Carolina - looks like the whole thing but note he ad-libbed at the beginning about his warm welcome and several other items.

Blair Speech Before Congress

PS: Thanks for your help, Carolina!

I don't think you'll collect much from those who deliver pizzas...;-)

Sorry I should have replied on this thread instead of the press conference. I posted this earlier, and you question whether it was so?

I can't believe I saw Frist Hollings telling those next to him not to clap on Blair's statement about States providing nuclear material to the highest bidder.

Your Post #100:

GREAT IDEA!

Thanks for the Info! I could sure use that since TLB loves the Countdown Threads and putting up what I have to say. That is a great idea! The answer I got back from LP when I complained was standard boilerplate that what you write on FR is fair game! This is for the folks at Liberty Post:

9/11 was a major eye-opener for him, too. I have no doubt his thought may well have been "there but for the grace of God...", it could have been London splashed on front pages all over the world.

[MattGarrett]

Too bad it couldn't be BUSH/BLAIR `04

[prairiebreeze]

Where the heck IS Ivan these days?? I miss his articles and his remarks.

lol

Hey they have their moments, but they so far surpass the others it ain't even funny.

Is it just me, or do Bush and Blair look like the Blues Brothers ?

[OldFriend]

FNC lean to the left has given more impetus to the success of those with Dish satellite.......GAME SHOWS........more popular than when they were on the first time.

[OldFriend]

I just bought the Josh Groban CD too!

[Tunehead54]

I'm assuming you posted to the wrong guy - otherwise I'm assuming you're confused. ;-)

LOL ! I hadn't thought of it. Which is which ??

We're On A Mission From God

[OldFriend]

Hard to figure........Murdoch endorsed McCain for President. He also put the infamous headline on the NY Post........BUSH KNEW......which the first witch carried to the floor of the senate.

[af_vet_1981]

I like to see the fire in their eyes when they go after the bad guys. It is so refreshing after the reign he who must not be named.
