My comments are in italics and underlined. I've been mulling over an NBC Nightly News report from <?xml:namespace prefix =
Good thing our founding fathers didn't think like that. Guess they were cowards..
Thanks Doc for sticking up for me, but not realy needed. When someone uses the type of comment that he did to make a point I think they make the point more for me than them. Nothing in the report is "claptrap". No more than other facts. These are the facts as reported by in-theater reporters. I also don't think its "claptrap" when you have a sucsessful mission where you kill/capture the enemy in numbers like that. Fact: we capture or kill the enemy in many more numbers than ar

BAGHDAD, Jan. 29 — The gunmen who battled Iraqi and American forces near Najaf on Sunday were members of a Shiite cult that planned to storm the city during a religious festival and kill the nation’s top Shiite clerics, Iraqi officials said today. American and Iraqi forces battled militants for 15 hours near Najaf. About 200 members of the group, which called itsel
New lobbying bill to criminalize political bloggers? One of the Democratic priorities for the new Congress was passage of a lobbyist reform bill, but the introduction of S.1 into the Senate has caused a veritable firestorm of controversy. That's because section 220 of the bill introduces disclosure requirements for "paid efforts to stimulate grassroots lobbying." The Traditional Values Coalition calls this section the "most expansi
DUBAI - Al Qaeda will continue to target the United States and other Western countries so long as Muslims are under attack, the militant group's second-in-command Ayman al-Zawahri said in a video tape aired on Wednesday. "If we are attacked in our land we shall not stop attacking you in your countries, God willing," Zawahri said in the tape aired by Al Jazeera television. "The formula for your safety is: You will not dream of security until we live it as a reality in Palestine and a

ST. LOUIS, Mo. — A federal appeals court tossed out the 10-year prison sentence of a St. Louis, Mo., woman who rented her 9-year-old daughter out to a pedophile more than 200 times at $20 a session. (Can anyone say SICK, very SICK!) The court said the woman's punishment was too lenient. But until a court decides otherwise, the woman still faces a 10-year prison term. (I agree, maybe capital punshment would not be to much in this case) <

If the Dems win the next election does it make them a liar? By that I mean since they have been whining that the last two elections were frauds, and stolen from them by the Republicans, does that mean that if the Repubs lose this one then the Dems have been wrong all this time and all that whining about the elections was a bunch of crap? I mean if they can steal the election twice why not this next time, I mean if you’re going to commit fraud and steal
Well the guy that shot the Polk County Deputy and killed him, and his K9 dog, and shot and wounded another Deputy was found hiding like the snake he was under a tree and brush and when failing to follow the orders of the SWAT team that fond was shot and killed. Good! I won't have to pay for his support in jail, his food, his air conditioning, his attorney or any of the other hunderds of thousands that would be spent on him. He got what was coming to him. Sorry if that soun
I find it strange you use two examples that are both from Communist Counties. Especially when trying to describe what was an article from a man who is talking of the fact that we will and can still win this war on terror we are fighting. No one mentioned anything about reconsidering our tactics or course. Only that even through tough times, one must have hope that "next year" we will be able to win, or the next or the next. I think using the examples of two comunist governments is a p
What the Terrorists Forgot A couple weeks ago we were all thinking about where we were on September 11th. Personally, I was inbound to Reagan National Airport in Washington D.C. on an early flight. The flight would be diverted and it would be 6 hours before I would be able to get in touch with my family. It would take me almost another 24 ho
Untold Good News From Iraq - Prior to Saddam Hussein’s oppressive regime, Iraq was the second richest country in the Persian Gulf region. However, after 30 years of willful neglect and treasury-draining regional wars, Iraq’s once modern infrastructure lay in ruin. For the past three years solid progress has been made to rebuild Iraq’s critical infrastructure. All of Iraq’s industrial sectors—oil, water, electrical power, education, agriculture, buildings and facil
FORT BRAGG, N.C.--On Sep.12, Capt. Bryan Ash, the anti-terrorism force protection officer for the 1st Sustainment Command (Theater) was driving back to Fayetteville, N.C. from Orlando, Fla. to attend a class he was taking in order to complete his master’s degree.

We have a 2.5 increase in Ad Qaeda according to the CIA. 2.5 what? What about the Al Qaeda that bombed the cole? The Al Qaeda that Bombed the WTC the first time? So which is worse. Al Qaeda in Iraq and violence there, or here in the states? I know my vote. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#FFF394 class="mb-Body-Q
How about this Gene from Ruters "You can read it for yourself," Bush said. "We'll stop all the speculation, all the politics about somebody saying something about Iraq, somebody trying to confuse the American people about the nature of this enemy." Bush said he agreed with the report's conclusion that successes against the al Qaeda leadership had led to extremists "becoming more diffuse and independent" and that they were using Iraq as a recruiting tool. But, he sai
"previously secret report " "have had for some time" I find it amazing you know so much about a STILL classified document. Thats the point. Oh and BTW, since this supports the left side of view its OK to use only what we know, even if the context of what is known is wrong, right? Wow are people quick to say OK! When it fits their side, even if its only part of the story. Amazing..
OK, I have a real problem here. I have been hearing since yesterday that a report from the Intelligence agencies say the War in Iraq has made terrorism worse instead of better. This was picked up of course by the anti-war groups and Left and hailed as proof positive that the Bush Administration has made yet another mistake. <SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: '
