Thanks for the info! Thanks for the prayers!!! I just got an e-mail. He is fine. Was rushed off to a bomb shelter for a while. Didn't get to meet with Dick Cheney. Oh well, he is safe.

God bless those who were injured.

Thank you so much for the prayers. He is safe!!!

>> "Being spun this morning as the resurgence of the Taliban."
>
> Nonsense. One truck bomb is a resurgence?

That's why I called it "spin", but be advised resurgence IS what the news will be calling it.

I've already seen at least two articles talking about how suicide bombings in Afghanistan are "up" over the last 2 years.

The DUmmies are some serious wack-jobs. It's unbelievable they now represent the heart and soul of the Democrat Party.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

And soon we will have to be confronting them in the streets when they lose the next election.

They are whipping themselves into a frenzy which can do no good for the nation. And the MSM is whipping them into a frenzy which is every bit as dangerous as Islamofascim , in the long run.

Whack jobs! Exactly. And whats more many Pubbies are turning into whack jobs as well. Must be something in the water.

Prayers for all of our brave soldiers and their families which will include our President and Vice-President.
Although, this is an unconventional war in that our enemy is not a sovereign state and follows no rules of Geneva convention of warfare, this incident is significant. A specific intentional attack on our VP is continued justification of our presence in the Middle East. Just as the 9/11 planes targeting the Pentagon and the White House were justification for war in all traditional mores. GW understood that Saddam Hussein's quest to assassinate his father was the same. The attacks on the USS Cole and other incidents were not considered in the same light by the Clinton administration and we are paying the consequences of that attitude. We have to remain strong and resolute and understand that this is a real enemy.

I might not like Hillary Clinton or Obama, but I sure as hell would not be celebrating if they got hurt or killed.

The MSM and the Dem left have created a politics of hate movement. It could lead to insurrection in our cities if we win the next election, and we will.

I would not lose any sleep over the loss of Clinton or Obama. They both facillitate the hatred, instead of criticising it.

The time will come when we must fight the politics of hatred from the left. And we must not shy away from destroying that movement.

The most disturbing element, IMO, in the last month or so is the action of the turncoat Republicans who have sold out our troops in harm's way because of cowardice or political gain.

I'm not sure they should ever be forgiven for what they have done.

I bet some of those cocky,pampered reporters traveling with the VP are changing their underwear about now.

I wonder which one tipped off the taliban that he was there?

I'm wondering if the Moon-Bat Presidential Convention in 2008 will be a repeat of violence and riots as at The Democratic Convention in Chicago, 1968. If things are not going their way as they eat their own, I wouldn't want to be in their host city.

In all likelihood that can happen. Hillary and Obama are thr main influences which can dictate the level of frenzy. If the left is cut off from makinig its power manifest in the convention, 1968 could happen all over again. Wouldn't it be interesting to watch the leftists not have seats at the convention with Michael Moore urging the crowd to riot outside?

Somehow I think the left will be inside the conventon. They have already scared the bejejus out of Hillary. Only Joseph Leibermann stands up to them. Obama has to decide whether he wants the left or not. Hillary already has, she wants them.

This time the fight will be post election when the Republican party wins yet again. People will refuse to support the Prsedident, and will commit acts of civil disobedience. Symbols of the federal government will be desecrated and perhaps bombed. That is the extent of the whacko resolve and hatred. They have become unamerican. I look forward to their violence, for then we will indeed have every reason to destroy them as a movement, once and for all. We did the same to the Black Panthers.

The left will have to accept the will of the majority but will likley resort to violence instead of accepting the results of the ballot box. They are half way there now with their hatred.

I don't want to see the Clintons victimized by violence. That would put me in the same category with the leftist whackjobs who wish Cheney had been killed.

Oh neither do I. I'm just making a valid comparison between the Ceasescus and the Clintons and saying "isn't that special?". If Bill and Hillary were ever in the position that Romania's mad pair of rulers found themselves, it wouldn't turn out that bad for them, Bubba would just say to the driver of the car taking them to safety "hey bud? let's you and me drop off Hillary at the mall, and we'll have a few beers, tour a few strip joints, and not worry 'bout this situation, ok? Hey lookee here, I got a big bag o' money! Hey Hill? Take a hundred thousand and we'll pick ya up later, Bye!" lol

"Quick, do a head count! Are we missing a Democrat?"

Kerry's in Cambodia - or so he says.
Al Gore's in Hollywood.
Hillary's in the war room, urging her flying monkeys to bring her back the nomination.
Bill Clinton - we won't go there.

Any other moon bats we can't account for????

Can be pulled down until they count all noses, get the facts straight, and WIA/KIA official notification made to the families.
