  • Saddam offers to debate Bush, kinda like Presidential debate, over weapons.

    Just heard this on the radio, has it been posted. It sure is funny and makes a mockery at where we are now in our war on terrorism and terrorists like Saddam.
  • Did Freepers witness a test takedown of the Internet in preparation for War?

    At 4:15am EST a strange thing happened on the Internet. Two Freepers were posting pictures and communicating with each other, one in Spain and the other in Florida. Suddenly all logos and pictures filed to appear on the separate sites although the text did. Up to that time the refresh time was two to three seconds. A single server going down or a photographic site disabled is common and would not be a cause for concern. But when servers in two different countries are affected at precisely the same time with only graphics involved then we have a very unusual...

    <p>BAGHDAD — Squabbling peace activists were recovering from a chaotic overland journey yesterday after limping into Iraq aboard two London buses, a day late for Saturday's worldwide series of anti-war demonstrations.</p> <p>Three double-deckers, all crammed with "human shields," had set out from London on Jan. 25 to reach Baghdad in time for the day of global protests. But only two of them, with 65 activists, made it to the Iraqi capital late on Saturday.</p>

    Candidate Al Gore ^ | 5/23/2000 | Al Gore
    The following quote is courtesy of Al Gore. Curiously, when he made this statement, no Hollywood star protested, and the Lunatic Left did not spill into the streets to proclaim gore as "a warmonger." Suffice it to say that we should indeed shove this into the face of every Left-wing pro-appeasement moron we encounter over the days ahead. "Saddam Hussein still seeks to amass weapons of mass destruction. You know as well as I do that as long as Saddam Hussein stays in power there can be no comprehensive peace for the people of Israel or the people of the...

    The Hartford Courant - CT ^ | 12-21-02 | Stan Simpson
    Looks like I'm the only one who thought Al Gore could whup George W. Bush - again - in a rematch. Still, I can't figure the former vice president's logic this week in deciding to forgo a 2004 presidential run. He says he has the energy, the fire in the belly, but that there's fatigue among Democratic supporters that makes running again untenable. Sounds to me like Gore punked out. He's like a prizefighter who quits on his stool, refusing to answer the bell for the final round. As the door closed on Gore, another opened for a slumping Joltin'...

    World Socialist Web Site ^ | 12-21-02 | By Barry Grey - Socialist
    Comrades ... Al Gore’s announcement that he will not seek the Democratic presidential nomination in 2004 says a great deal about the state of the American political system and the Democratic Party. The former vice president and nominal head of the Democrats, who captured the votes of 50 million Americans and won the popular vote in the 2000 presidential race, chose a December 15 interview on the CBS program “60 Minutes” as the venue for publicizing his decision. That Gore, by far the best known of all likely Democratic presidential aspirants, should remove himself from contention at this early stage...
  • What Al Gore Could Teach Trent Lott: Past weekend doubly disastrous for the conservative movement

    FrontPageMagazine.com ^ | December 18, 2002 | Chris Weinkopf
    THIS PAST WEEKEND was doubly disastrous for the American conservative movement—first because Al Gore stepped aside, and second because Trent Lott didn’t. Had Gore decided to run for the presidency in 2004, he likely would have guaranteed President George W. Bush’s re-election. He was, from the Democratic point of view, the worst possible sort of candidate—a hero to the party faithful, and perpetually irritating to most everyone else. He would have been the Democrats’ Bob Dole, a shoe-in in the primaries due to his political longevity, and a turn-off in the general election due his passé politics and uninspiring persona....

    NEW YORK, Dec 15, 2002 (AP Online via COMTEX) -- Al and Tipper Gore may have logged TV's longest screen embrace during their opening bit on "Saturday Night Live." Reunited in an NBC corridor after a few painful moments apart, the Gore lovebirds went into a clench while cast member Jimmy Fallon and executive producer Lorne Michaels looked on uneasily. "Maybe we should get them to stop," Fallon said, moments before someone zapped the former vice president with a stun gun. Total smooch time: 2 1-2 minutes. Gore included the "Saturday Night Live" host gig in his monthlong television...

    The only "Saturday Night Live" material Al Gore vetoed during read-throughs as too embarrassing was a sketch about flatulence. "I'm sure this is funny," Mr. Gore said, according to Al Franken, a "Saturday Night Live" alumnus who has written speeches for the former vice president and helped shape tonight's show. "But at the end of this I want to have some bread crumbs leading back to my dignity." The former vice president has still not revealed what else he expects at the end of his epic monthlong television blitz — a book promotion whirl that has not helped sell two...
