BillF also took lots of still images, which I hope he will post in the body of the thread. He also interviewed the Gitmo re-enactors as well as the homeless guy who was wearing the "Hohensee for President" cardboard box, so I hope he will recount those stories on this thread.
Take it away, Bill...

Thank you for all you do.
Bookmark for stills!
I started listening to the video--but that nutjob that droned on and on was too much! That guy looked to me like he was on drugs.
Thanks for all you do, DC chapter. One of these days, I'm going to be there!
As usual, the libs gleeful at American combat deaths and they can't wait to use them as chips in ther game of poker to end a war that they don't even understand.
All I have to say is this: An average of 2.1 deaths per day in Iraq since the war started in mid march of 2003, and in Vietnam, which so many libs like to compare it to, over 14.5 average deaths per day, over 58,000 in over ten years.
Iraq has a Constitution, a fully elected Parliament, an elected President, an elected Prime Minister, a full cabinet. And three independent elections held by ALL the people of Iraq. Iraq is united as one nation, not split in half like Vietnam. And unlike Vietnam, major combat operations in Iraq WERE completed over two years ago. The people we're fighting in Iraq now are NOT military units. They're illegal terrorists cloathed as civilians, fighting like cock roaches in the shadows, and major combat operations were NEVER completed in Vietnam the whole ten years. The active combat in Vietnam was much worse the last year of the war, than it's been in the second or third year in Iraq. And 90% of Iraq never even has any attacks in it anymore, especailly the northern part where the peaceful Kurds and 70% of Iraq's natural resources are. No part of South Vietnam was totally safe from VC and NVA attacks through any part of the war.
Vietnam is 1/3rd the size of Iraq, and was split in two, with our forces never controling any of the northern half. Vietnam never had real elections, or any real democratically elected head of state or a Congress, and Vietnam certainly never had a constituition. We've had troops in Bosnia for over eight years now and not one anti-war radical has protested our presence in Bosnia, because clinton got us in there, so it's okay to be there. During the Vietnam War, it was over five years before real protests got off the ground after JFK started it. The radical liberals of today were protesting Iraq from the start, just because a Republican was President.
Iraq is a victory in progress. To deny that is to deny reality and basic factual statistics. The anti-Iraq movement is a fringe minority of radical left wing liberals, who require the support and collusion of the msm and the democrats for their very survival. Without them, no Americans would believe Iraq is a failure. The American military personnel who return home always have a different picture of Iraq than what the media says. Their millions of friends and family know this, and the truth will be heard. And THAT is that.
Oh yeah, and I don't care what Murtha says but there are not 100,000 terroists in Iraq. And most of the terrorist insurgents that are in Iraq are NOT Iraqi. They're foreigners, mostly al qaeda, and ALL of them entered the country illegally.
Compared to Vietnam, in which ALL the people we fought were actually Vietnamese. There were not Laosians, or Cambodians or Koreans or Chinese showing up to fight us in Vietnam. They were Vietnamese, and most of them were organized fighting units, unlike the terrorists.
And no one mentions it, but at this point, the U.S. military and coalition forces have easily killed over 100,000 to 120,000 terrorists and militant hussein supporters by this time in Iraq. Mostly foreign terrorists. That's a 44 to 1 kill ratio IN FAVOR of our military. That rate of losses is unsustainable for the terrorist forces, especailly as the Iraqi military and police forces, over 150,000 strong at this point, continue to stand up over time, better securing the borders with Syria and Iran and Saudi Arabia. As outlined in that letter that was found in what was left of the safe house that al Zarkawi was killed in, they cannot take much more of that kind of kill ratio that works against them, and the replacements they do get from other countries are not as good as the ones they've lost. They're running out of money, the Iraqi military and police forces are numerous, getting bigger, and better trained than the terroists, and they're running out of weapons and not getting more from Iran.
Time is not on their side, Zarkawi said. Despite the Democrats and their desire to los this war, time IS on OUR side. :)
She is that old.
REPORTER: What's the difference between a "Die In" and sex?
ALLISON: Well I lay there and don't move in either case, but for a "Die In" I don't have to fake a headache.
ALLISON: I'd love to but it's Father's Day coming up and I promised the the kids they could play with the turkey baster sometime this week...you know, some quality time with Dad. I have to get home and put on a David Crosby album too.
Fantastic job!
Bump for a great job! Thanks for watching tgslTakoma's back, BillF.
Thanks Bill, for guarding Takoma in the midst of the Pinkos!
"100,000 terroists in Iraq. And most of the terrorist insurgents that are in Iraq are NOT Iraqi. They're foreigners, mostly al qaeda, and ALL of them entered the country illegally."
Please tell me where you got your figures, I need the source or sources for another arguement elsewhere!
Don't be afraid to hit a woman if the need arises, Bill. I promise we won't think any less of ya!
Fabulous writing, as well as videoing, editing, uplinking,..
