Bush/Blair speak on Iraqi TV...

LONDON (Reuters) - The U.S. and British leaders launched a new TV service into Iraq on Thursday with a pledge to Iraqis that they would control their own future once the "nightmare" of Saddam Hussein was over.

"You deserve better than tyranny and corruption and torture chambers... Your nation will soon be free," President Bush said in a pre-recorded message.

Chirac hails end of Iraqi dictatorship...

What a weasel.

EUROPE GREETS SADDAM'S FALL...

Europe reacted with a mixture of joy and relief at the collapse of Saddam Hussein's regime Wednesday, with even staunch opponents of the war welcoming the quick end to the three-week campaign to capture Baghdad.

News anchors glum amid Iraqi jubilation...

They’re suffering “the agony of defeat.”

Baghdad's jubilation got the cold shoulder from some journalists yesterday.

SPY WHO LOVED HIM: UPDATE: Ex-FBI man, Chinese lover held...

Caught in a “honey trap;” what a bozo.

A retired FBI agent was arrested Wednesday on charges he repeatedly allowed his Chinese lover, who was allegedly also a double agent working for the Peoples Republic of China, to have access to sensitive documents in his briefcase.

James Smith, 59, of Westlake Village, Calif., was charged with gross negligence in handling government documents although there was no evidence he knowingly allowed classified material to be passed on to China by Katrina Leung, a 49-year-old San Marino woman who had been an "asset" under Smith's control for around 20 years.

Stung by SARANDON/ROBBINS anti-war criticism, Baseball Hall of Fame cancels `Bull Durham' festivities...

You get this kind of problem when you let anti-American stars make a movie about the national pasttime.

The baseball Hall of Fame has canceled a 15th anniversary celebration of the film "Bull Durham," and the shrine's president said it was because of anti-war criticism by co-stars Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon.

Hall president Dale Petroskey sent a letter to Robbins and Sarandon this week, telling them the festivities April 26-27 at Cooperstown, N.Y., had been called off.

Petroskey, a former White House assistant press secretary under Ronald Reagan, said recent comments by the actors "ultimately could put our troops in even more danger."

Knife thrower slices assistant...

Ouch!

LONDON (Reuters) - A record-breaking knife thrower shocked viewers when one of his daggers sliced into the head of his assistant on live TV.

Circus performer Jayde Hanson, 23, was demonstrating his skills when one of his knives hit his assistant and girlfriend, 22-year-old Yana Rodianova on Thursday.

Today's opening of the Masters comes at a historic time. Baghdad, located in one of the world's premier sand traps, is collapsing before the coalition assault. Reports suggest Saddam Hussein may have experienced the Mother of all Maalox Moments when four 2,000-pound bombs took out the restaurant where he and a pair of his goonish sons may have stopped to eat. And Iraqi Information Minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf has replaced Joe Isuzu as the world's most notorious liar.

See No Freedom, Hear No Freedom, Speak No Freedom
By Brian Sayre
With Saddam's statue toppled and joyous celebrations filling the streets of Baghdad, the anti-war crowd confronts a serious problem.  More>

… One Democrat best kept Underground, if his party wishes to avoid a complete rout next year, wrote that "being anti-Bush is being pro-American, because George Walker Bush Jr. is an unelected fascist piece of s**t dictator. And you can quote me on that."

… Take Jane Fonda, a prominent anti-war activist since the Vietnam era. According to NewsMax.com, Jane Fonda was in Vancouver, Canada, claiming that Operation Iraqi Freedom will make the whole world unite against America. Fonda suffers from the particular leftist belief that America is the dictatorship. "I don't know if a country where the people are so ignorant of reality and of history," she said, "if you can call that a free world." Aside from America's sizeable coalition of supporters, Jane, the Iraqis in Baghdad don't appear to be 'uniting against us' - but at least this time you weren't speaking over enemy radio.

As Baghdad Bob has been spewing forth his fantasyland disinformation to the Iraqis and the Arab world, so have the Democrats who for so long said the same things and spread the same types of lies and propaganda about the Republicans and about Ronald Reagan and President Bush and his father before him. As the statue of Saddam come crashing down hopefully America will look at Washington and understand the statue of corrupt liberalism has begun to fall too.

They aren’t “liberals,” they’re socialists.

Liberals are no longer a threat to the nation. The new media have defeated them with free speech – the very freedom these fifth columnists hide behind whenever their speech gets them in hot water with the American people. Today, the truth is instantly available on the Internet, talk radio and Fox News Channel. No wonder liberals accuse Matt Drudge of absurd sodomic acts, call Rush Limbaugh a "big fat idiot," and say "really stupid people" watch Fox News Channel – as anti-war actress Janeane Garofalo said between assuring us that Saddam Hussein has no weapons of mass destruction.

…

Freedom of speech isn't working out so well for liberals now that they aren't the only ones with a microphone. It's not so much fun when the rabbit's got the gun.

“The wizened political failure George McGovern added a different spin to the argument in an essay published last Thursday in The Nation (in which he reveals that he considers the U.S. Army inferior to the Viet Cong), claiming the Bush Administration’s liberation of Iraq "and other costly wars now being planned in secret" (!) are "fattening the ever-growing military-industrial complex."”

…

… France alone sells Iraq nearly one-quarter of all its imports. Russia and China each control 5.8 percent of Iraqi imports. Germany is believed to have $1.35 billion in annual trade with Iraq, directly or indirectly. Iraqi Trade Minister Mohammed Mehdi Salah announced that, as of early 2001, UN sanctions had cost $200 billion in lost trade to Iraq’s trading partners, including $40 billion to Russia, $35 billion for France and $25 billion to China. As one FrontPage author pointed out some time ago, even the UN itself benefited economically from the sanctions and inspections regime. Perhaps this accounts, in some small measure, for these entities’ lenient stance toward Iraq.

…

… In fact, Jacques Chirac personally negotiated the sale of the Osirak nuclear reactor to Saddam Hussein. …

Members of the Iraqi community throughout the United States rejoiced Wednesday at the apparent collapse of Saddam Hussein's government.

Standing on car roofs, cheering and waving American and Iraqi flags, people in Dearborn, Mich., breathed a sigh of relief as they realized the day they never thought would come appeared to be imminent: Saddam is on his way out of Iraq for good, if he's not already dead.

This is what happens when Leftists let immigration get out of control and allow hostile foreign elements to gain political power.

In fact, the only things that are growing in France right now are crime and Islamism. Some readers have been amazed by the fact that teenaged girls and young women in many city districts have to wear the Islamic veil if they do not want to be harassed, but it gets worse. A few weeks ago, a young Arab burnt a teenaged girl alive in the suburbs of Paris. He was convicted of murder, but he became a hero and an example for other young Arabs living in the same kind of areas. Two month ago, ten Arab men who raped another teenaged girl in another district were convicted and condemned to spend five years in jail. Yes, just five years. Their families left the court of justice shouting to the journalists it was unfair and they would look out for revenge. Eight days later, the court was burnt down during the night. The teenaged girl and her family have had to leave Paris, and hide in another part of the country.

…

… Very few people are in jail in France (France does not have enough jails), but more than sixty per cent of the convicts are Muslims, and Islamist imams visit them on a weekly basis. …

…

… France is not a sovereign nation anymore: it’s partly ruled by the mob, partly ruled from the outside by corrupting Muslim tyrants. …

The amount of money that went into Arkansas for such earmarks amounts to $27.99 per person in 2003, down from $45.39 per person last year, according to Citizens Against Government Waste. In short, Arkansas took the biggest drop in "per capita pork" of any state in the country.

This could be another sign that the UN is failing to do its job.

These are really BAD ideas.

These have been reported for years and there is no need for a change.

Given that Richardson publicly stated that they could buy out his contract, why is this in court at all?

It would appear that the plaintiff bar lawyers are tall in the saddle in this state.

Arkansas’ state court liability system ranked near the bottom in nearly every category in a national survey released Wednesday.

 The survey of 900 corporate lawyers, conducted by Harris Interactive for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, ranked Arkansas 45th, one spot lower than last year.

Gitz fails to mention that after John Kerry left the army he co-founded Vietnam Veterans Against the War and demonstrated for the Vietnam Communists.

… The professed basis for Kerry’s defense? That since he had "fought and bled" for his country in Vietnam, nobody had a right to question his patriotism.
