My new conspiracy theories, because the Democrat media is falling flat on it's collective arse with the Halliburton centerpiece Turkey crapola. Dem. operatives can Freepmail me for further talking points...

"Bush went to Iraq at the last minute because the twins finally told Laura and he they weren't coming home for Thanksgiving. It seems the Secret Service agents are keeping a further distance than they did with Chelsea, gving the girls greater latitude in socializing with the opposite sex." Go ahead Krugman, try it out.

"President-by-fiat Bush went to Iraq because he got wind of the plan for his old college buddies to hold a surprise kegger at the ranch." Al Franken, take it away.

"In a surprise move, President Bush went to Iraq today to avoid the Bush family reunion scheduled in Crawford. Our inside sources tell us the President was trying to avoid his niece Noelle Bush, and quote, stay away from the hard shit. end quote." Peter Jennings, roll with it.

/sarcasm
I was simply in awe when I turned the TV on Thanksgiving Day and heard the news, and still am.

That old Ric Flair said it best:

"To be the Man you have to beat the Man. A limousine-riding, jet-flying, kiss-stealin', wheelin' dealin' son-of-a-gun. If you don't like it you better learn to love it, 'cause it's the best thing going today!...
Whoooo!...Whooo!"

OMG...that was wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing that with us. Somehow the description of Pres. Bush by this soldier doesn't surprise me at all. I think of him in just that way. Honest, sincere and yes, loving. May God bless him, the troops and their families for the sacrifice they are making for us.....and thank you again for sharing this.

Klintooon is now trying another trick to get recognition.....by trying to take credit for the AIDS problem which he never a thing to help. Appearing on show after show with Mandela and Annon(sp)....talking about AIDS. The comment made about him after the disgusting display of arrogance was....."the adds about aids should feature Klintooon with a condom over his head...since he is known to have been extremely risky in his extra marital affairs...he never wore a condom ...confirmed by Flowers and Jones...and whoever else he 'approached'!

Thanks for sharing this great story. It still brings tears to my eyes when I see the pitures that were posted last week. God bless our president and military. God speed to all.

it was hit but made a remarkable landing with a wing in flames.

Not only that -- they had no hydraulics and the flap and aileron on the left wing were gone. The fire from the Strela burned through the rear spar.

The guy made a no-controls, no-flap, no-brakes landing with no loss of life (and there is a 50-50 chance the airplane is repairable at this time). It is a job of airmanship for the record books -- he had nothing but throttles and trim tabs to control that jet.

And that's a civilian pilot (not even American, I think). If Hadji wants to take on the civilised world, he had better adapt well to frustration -- because he can't win against men like this.

d.o.l.
