History will gauge the success or failure of this war, not current pundits

Care for a pillow, sir? The flight will be over shortly, although the
pilot says we may have to detour around Ras, USA, due to some hot-air
ballooners.

If you need anything don't hesitate to use the little call button to
your right.

Quit replying to this idiot so I dont have to see it (which is his point) or
Im going to start a daily politics war here on RAS and trust me I have
plenty of ammo and am quite willing to let loose on the ponytailed liberals.
I really hoped to just ignore the little homo wrecker (which really gets his
goat) and stay on topic but you all just cant ignore the little puke.

A caller changed the subject to the conviction of the Enron executives...
The host was momentarily put off since that was not the current topic of
discussion  But then the radio ride really turned into a trip to fantasy
land.

  The caller insisted the Enron trial was merely a show trial and that the
two execs would be pardoned.  And here was his reason.  Haliburton.  Yes
THAT Haliburton.  Apparently, according to the caller,  Vice President***
Cheney would make sure they got pardoned because the first Bush President,
when he was the CIA chief, had allowed Horror-writer Steven King to
assainate John Lennon.    There was even some website that PROVED that.  
And since the Enron execs KNEW that Haliburton had provided the former CIA
chief with the go-ahead to allow Steven King(author of Horror books) to
shoot John Lennon.  Mark David Chapman was NOT the man seen getting the
autograph,  it was....Steven King.  So the Enron execs will go free.

  After reading this...do ANY of you have any doubt that America is insane
and will do whatever we choose?  Both the right and the left are consumed
by a fantasy.  So Rex,  and all you 'give the world a hug and it will hug
you back' types   SHADDUP!   And Mitch....Who can't figure out WHY anyone
wants to hurt us...relax.  We all live in an asylum and nothing we can say
or do will change that.   Just breathe deeply....and count to ten..
1, 2, 5.....

dave...oh...ps...would you be further suprised to know that another caller
chastised the host for not taking the original caller more seriously?  What
a world we live in....
      henrie

   Hehe.......it must be true because there's a website about
it...........classic <g>

  Btw, there's plenty of wackos to go around; America doesn't have a corner
on the market <g>

One thing the u.s. has proven it can do better than anyone is to lie, and
then send a bunch of coward, vile, scumbags to another country and have them
slaughter little children. Even 8 month old babies. They also *** their
mothers, old ladies, and old men in wheelchairs who have one leg.

http://www.racesimcentral.net/

------
It was the home of 76-year-old Abdul Hamid Hassan Ali. Although he had used
a wheelchair since diabetes forced a leg amputation years ago, Ali was
always one of the first on his block to go out every morning, scattering
scraps for his chickens and hosing the dust of the arid western town from
his driveway, neighbors said.

In the house with Ali and his 66-year-old wife, Khamisa Tuma Ali, were three
of the middle-aged male members of their family, at least one
daughter-in-law and four children -- 4-year-old Abdullah, 8-year-old Iman,
5-year-old Abdul Rahman and 2-month-old Asia.

Families slain
Marines entered shooting, witnesses recalled. Most of the shots -- in Ali's
house and two others -- were fired at such close range that they went
through the bodies of the family members and plowed into walls or the floor,
physicians at Haditha's hospital said.

A daughter-in-law, identified as Hibbah, escaped with Asia, survivors and
neighbors said. Iman and Abdul Rahman were shot but survived. Four-year-old
Abdullah, Ali and the rest died.

Ali took nine rounds in the chest and abdomen, leaving his intestines
spilling out of the exit wounds in his back, according to his death
certificate.

The Marines moved to the house next door, Fahmi said.

Inside were 43-year-old Khafif, 41-year-old Aeda Yasin Ahmed, an 8-year-old
son, five young daughters and a 1-year-old girl staying with the family,
according to death certificates and neighbors.

The Marines shot them at close range and hurled grenades into the kitchen
and bathroom, survivors and neighbors said later. Khafif's pleas could be
heard across the neighborhood. Four of the girls died screaming.

Only 13-year-old Safa Younis lived -- saved, she said, by her mother's ***
spilling onto her, making her look dead when she fell, limp, in a faint.

Townspeople led a Washington Post reporter this week to the girl they
identified as Safa. Wearing a ponytail and tracksuit, the girl said her
mother died trying to gather the girls. The girl burst into tears after a
few words. The older couple caring for her apologized and asked the reporter
to leave.

Moving to a third house in the row, Marines burst in on four brothers,
Marwan, Qahtan, Chasib and Jamal Ahmed. Neighbors said the Marines killed
them together.

Marine officials said later that one of the brothers had the only gun found
among the three families, although there has been no known allegation that
the weapon was fired.

Meanwhile, a separate group of Marines found at least one other house full
of young men. The Marines led the men in that house outside, some still in
their underwear, and away to detention.

Inadvertent victims
The final victims of the day happened upon the scene inadvertently,
witnesses said. Four male college students -- Khalid Ayada al-Zawi, Wajdi
Ayada al-Zawi, Mohammed Battal Mahmoud and Akram Hamid***eh -- had left
the Technical Institute in Saqlawiyah for the weekend to stay with one of
their families on the street, said Fahmi, a friend of the young men.

A Haditha taxi driver, Ahmed Khidher, was bringing them home, Fahmi said.

According to Fahmi, the young men and their driver turned onto the street
and saw the wrecked Humvee and the Marines. Khidher threw the car into
reverse, trying to back away at full speed, Fahmi said, and the Marines
opened fire from about 30 yards away, killing all the men inside the taxi.
