THANKS, THIS IS ALWAYS ONE OF MY FAVORITE POSTS EACH DAY

[cav68]

Your the Best, I wait each day for your post. If wishes were will, mine would be to see your post continue not just for myself but for all the people in our country who have not a computer. Your information would be accepted in the far reaches of our farm lands and backwoods where the people only see whats on their local TV stations which is so biased that they too will never know the good this country has done for so many. I pray for your health and well being always. Thanks again for so much.

[AmericanMade1776]

Thank you from me too!

[cantfindagoodscreenname]

I don't reply to these posts very often, but I do look at them and enjoy them. The photos cause me to well up with pride in my country and its great people and they usually get me choked up. I always wish that every citizen in this country could get a dose of this every day.

Thank you!

Iraq is not the only place American troops are busy and alert lately:

A U.S. Marine stands guard at the U.S. Embassy in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, February 25, 2004. Armed gangs threw up flaming barricades and looters struck Haiti's chaotic capital on Feb. 26 before an expected rebel advance that sent foreigners fleeing the country.

A U.S. Marine stands guard at US Embassy in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, February 25, 2004. U.S. President Bush (news - web sites) warned Haitians today against trying to flee to the United States and said he would support an international security force but only once a political deal was reached between Haiti's embattled government and advancing rebels.

A US marine guards a corner of the roof of the US embassy in Port-Au-Prince. US officials want to resolve Haiti's crisis politically rather than by sending a peacekeeping force to pacify the Caribbean nation.

A U.S. Marine stand guard at US Embassy in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, February 24, 2004. About 50 U.S. Marines arrived in Haiti to protect its embassy. President Jean-Bertrand Aristide appealed for international help to deal with the armed rebellion against him, adding he feared the unrest would lead to a boat people crisis as refugees try to reach Florida. Aristide also said he feared thousands would die should the rebels take on the capital.

[metesky]

Rum-Fu Fighting

:O)

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Thanks for the ping, and the Haiti pics, archy.

Still waiting for someone in the press to look at the second half of that island - Dominican Republic - which did far better than Haiti under a very different (conservative) leader, didn't they? Seems some obvious lessons to be learned here.

LOL excellent work!!11!

[armymarinemom]

I love to look at the photos of the children. I keep in mind that these beautiful youngsters had no future with Saddam in power.

[snooker]

Rum-Fu Fighting .... That is good. You should send it to the secretary.

[MEG33]

I loved the children's pictures,too.The future!

[redhead]

Wonderful!! I laughed all the way through!

Yep. Though note that they had to assassinate their dictator [Trujillo,in 1961, ask me about it sometime] to do it, and were subsuquently visited by the 82nd Airborne during *Operation Power Pack* when it looked like they were about to go communist.

[anniegetyourgun]

Thanks, you two!

[anniegetyourgun]

YOU gotta see this!

O, THAT photo... I was going to say it looked more like Hershey Bar she had.

A warm wonderful human being. Just misunderstood.

[mamaduck]

Thank you so much for these threads! I also, wish everyone in the country could see *these* pictures!

[general_re]

Don't worry venus - they're very gentle in dealing with you and yours...

[rintense]

MOBY! Stop send me spam via my freepmail!

[Xenalyte]

Would you do me a favor and please remove me from your ping lists? I'm trying desperately to cut back on the number of pings I get. Many thanks!

[Seruzawa]

Bye bye. Have fun in the restraint ward.

You may also want to have a look at this:

Weren't you one of those folks complaining about all the Iraqi kids being killed by sanctions? Who later said we should allow sanctions to continue instead of taking out Saddam for noncompliance with the cease-fire of 1991? Who then screams about two thousand war dead instead of realizing how many Iraqi lives will be saved by not having Saddam's regime around any more? And who responded to the stories of mass graves in Iraq by calling Bush a worse tyrant than Saddam?

Yeah, that's right, that's you.

[LibWhacker]

Adios, fag.

[Steelerfan]

I am going to do you the favor of assuming you are not a troll, but posting that picture without any warning of its graphic nature is totally inappropriate.

[dirtboy]

A troll with a ping list. Gee, I wonder if she's a retread? /sarcasm

[mhking]

Eat ZOT and die!

[MeekOneGOP]

I was pinged in that one and the Freep mail too ...

[nuconvert]

It's a troll. No favors, plz

[AmericanVictory]

Do you believe this BBC effort to be accurate as to the attitudes locally in Basra or to be consciously distorted in order to create a false picture?

[nuconvert]

Yep. Pinging and freepmail seems to be the new tactic.
Had that a few times already.
