Nice to see the lard butt family get it's act together as far as Lebanon goes.

Now if they'd only do the same thing in their country.

You KNOW the Saudis are quaking in their robes at the spread of freedom in the Mideast.

On Thursday, President Bush reiterated calls on Syria to leave Lebanon. "The United States of America strongly supports democracy around the world, including Lebanon," he said on a visit to the headquarters of the Central Intelligence Agency in Langley, Va. "And it cannot flourish so long as Syrian troops are there. It's time for Syria to get out."

The Cowboy has spoken. Get out of Lebanon Assad. Immediately.

Nov. 2nd, 2004- Vote for G.W.- Most important vote I've ever cast.

What President Bush is engineering in the Middle East is nothing short of revolutionary. To realize how quickly it appears to be happening is truly astounding. President Bush seems to know that he is working from a position of supreme strength and is making the most of the advantage in the time he has.

These are heady and most fortunate times. Let's hope they continue and the drive to liberty prevails.

Have any Democrats called for Syria to withdraw from Lebanon?
Perhaps they are waiting for their talking points to arrive from Hezbollah and Hamas.

Democracy Dominoes on Display

[Parley Baer]

The democRATS are a ball and chain at President Bush's feet. They are helping to delay the spread of Democracy in the Middle East. They are acting very childish. Parley

xxxlinton's probably thinking to himself, "Gee, where can I get one of them Bush Doctrines?"

[winner3000]

an official at the Syrian Foreign Ministry said the soldiers were "digging trenches in preparation for a withdrawal."

Does anyone believe that Syria needs to dig trenches in order to withdraw? It seems like Syria wants to be kicked out by force. The question is: who is going to do it?

[meanie monster]

I agree with u

You KNOW the Saudis are quaking in their robes at the spread of freedom in the Mideast.

If Osama BL is still alive (which I don't believe is true), he will be taken out by a Jihadist before a US Marine gets him. Law of Unintended Consequences.

Here's the whole pic. Check the entourage.

Bump!

[dennisw]

Getting the red carpet treatment. Can you pick out the pencil necked geek in this photo? Can you pick out the bandits in bed sheets?

[dennisw]

The Saudi entourage looks like a bunch of women trying to keep their dresses from blowing in the wind and showing their undies. Trying to keep their long dresses from getting dirtied up on the ground.

Chinless wonder meets big fat arab wearing table-cloth on head.
Sorry, I jusy couldn't help myself.
