  3. rick leventhal..a reporter embedded with the 1st regt ,2nd bn , 23rd marines is sayiong theu found what looked like a radar van but it turns out it could very well be a bio lab on wheels...the van had a false wall and behind it was an self contained air conditioning and heating unit that is needed to store bio weapons and other paraphinalia needed for bio weapons...the pentagon has had intel on these weapons lab but have never found one...there is no evidence att that they found any bio weapons...
  4. skanks up 2-0 on the twinkies
  5. Carl Prine of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review was one of the first if not the first American reporter to break this story. I was going to post this a couple of days ago but figured what the hell, everybody has their mind made up here. Since baggs when ahead and posted his link here is Prine's story. thanks for that link...foxnews was giving that reporter credit...i wanted to post his link too but i couldnt remember the name of the pittsburgh paper they said he worked for
  6. check this out....frank thomas , who as we all know bats directly in front of these guys , is carrying a 472 obp...he has been on base 15 times and scored only one run..and that was when he drove himself in on a homer....maggs - konerko - lee (and daubach and rios to a lessor extent) are 0-14 in getting frank home when he gets on base...
  7. like i said..i give him the benefit of the doubt because if you remove president clinton from the equation and look at the situations , in each one use of force was justified...i just wish alot of those on the left would give president bush that same benefit ... i guess you could find alterior motives for any president if you wanted to...
  8. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,83821,00.html that was the story from this morning...right now the foxnews embeeded reportor is saying that the marines there believe they have found weapons grade plutonium...they caution that they have to do more testing to be sure and that alot of test in the past have proved false but they have experts on the scene right now and there seems to be alot of optomism that this could be the smoking gun...have to wait and see
  9. another sox player that had problems with KW???...shocking , isnt it
  10. Well, I haven't watched it since Kruk left, but the show was great the last time I saw it. Arnold and Salley are very funny, and they do some funny skits (that might be the wrong word for it). Quality sports humor show. the show was great when physco lyons used to be on...i swear him and tom arnold were going to get into a fist fight on screen if physco stayed on much longer...they used to get into some heated battles
  11. I feel bad for the people in Iraq. Bush has a record of coming in, declaring victory, then leaving. They are going to be f***ed beyond belief. Give them a few months and they are gonna be wallowed in poverty and ripe for another dictator to roll on in and take them over. now wait a minute...i thought you wanted the UN to take the major role in rebuilding iraq..now you are worried about us pulling out???..if we pull out the UN gets to do whatever they want bush has a "record" of coming ,declaring victory ,then leaving???...i know of no other country bush has invaded other than afghanastan...where we sucessfully have overthrown the taliban and we havent left yet...we still have troops there... winodj..clinton's motives....well...if iirc , there was about a one year period where clinton bomb 5 countries on three different continents....iraq and afghanastan in asia , sudan and ??? , in africa..and serbia in europe..this happens to coincide with the most tumultous year of his administration , which was during the lewinsky scandal...im not saying that he wasnt justified in his actions but i think its interesting that as soon as his trial in the house was over all these bombings stopped...and he wasnt near as aggressive before the scandal broke....ill give him the benefit of the doubt because he was justified to use force in retaliation in every situation.. (want to make that clear im not calling him a war criminal or anything like that) ....but i wish we could go back in history and remove the lewinsky scandal from the dynamics just to see if his responses would have been the same...would have been that aggressive

    awe ,this sux :finger
  13. the best part about this movie was costner is a pretty good athlete and can pull off playing a ballplayer...the fact he could switch hit and had a good left handed swing impressed me.. robbins looked real bad as a pitcher...i remember 8 men out the guy who played lefty williams was horrible...david straithern as cicotte looked okay but still wasnt that good....the only actor that ive ever seen that really looked like he could throw a baseball was charlie sheen...in major league he really looked like he was throwing in the high 90's....wouldnt have surprised me if he could have had a career in baseball.. i think db sweeny , who played some minor league ball , would have been a better choice for nick laloosh
  14. plus..ill use anything to get a shot in at apu
  15. hey matt...you know on the home opener 2 americans (and i use that term lightly) were booing through the 7th inning stretch when that sgt from the air force was singing god bless america...i really wanted to hit them but didnt have 100 dollars bail money in my pocket there are all kinds of opinions in both countries ranging from extremes to most somewhere in the middle....what we hear most down here though is quotes from your elected officials from quebec like form that one lady (i forget her name, sorry) who said she hated all americans...i got the info on this from a girl from ontario who is very pro american....i just thought id post a positive view because im really hoping when toronto comes to town our fans dont act like scrub fans did when oh canada was played in wrigley what would you say is the percentage that supports the american effort and would have liked to have seen canada send troops to iraq??..i really have no clue whats great about both countires is dissenters can feel free to protest w/o fear of government retribution... btw...did you have a good time friday night
  16. apu - you really need to listen to what this man has to say...youre losing it apu...you getting more and more extreme each day...when youre young idealistic its really to hard to admit you might be wrong...hell its hard when youre old and idealistic too... apu you have been proven wrong on almost everything you said about this war...here two of your biggest blunders...can you admit you were wrong on these two points??? you said george bush was going to commit genocide on 5 million iraqi children...did that happen ..yes or no??? you said that the military strategy was flawed and we were in a stalemate and it was going to take months to finish the war...did that happen...yes or no??? just for you apu..the new smilies... and if we ever meet up at comiskey..first is on me
  17. how bad as it gotten for apu that he now has andy rooney as an ally???
  18. Mushy propaganda always works doesn't it? i guess you would know better than any of us
  19. since you are so worried about the lack of pro war rallys i thought id ease your concerns because our neighbors to the north are picking up the slack...and remember...we on the right do not waste our time with something as useless as demonstrating and civil disobedience...we just boycott http://www.friendsofamerica.ca/ http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentSe...ol=968793972154 http://www.globeandmail.com/servlet/story/...NStory/National
  20. 1. So what? 2. His ERA for the game was still just over 2.00. I wish Garland was as "wild"/ 3. Prior will be the next great pitcher in baseball when Pedro breaks down. Unless Rauch gets healthy and starts putting it together that is i think jake peavy will be right there with prior....but will either be better than barry zito???
  21. fall they will..into the gloves of awaiting outfielders

    Apr. 9, 2003 Palestinians stunned by collapse of Saddam's regime By KHALED ABU TOAMEH There was shock and disbelief in the West Bank and Gaza Strip Wednesday as Palestinians gathered around TV sets to watch US Marines and Iraqi residents knock down a giant statute of Saddam Hussein in Tahrir Square in central Baghdad. "I'm stunned and appalled. I can't understand what is happening," said Rustum Abu Ghazalah, a 30-year-old shopkeeper in the center of Ramallah. He and grim-faced fellow shopkeepers zapped from one Arab TV station to another with the hope of discovering that what they were hearing and watching was nothing more than a US-produced Hollywood film. "This can't be true," grumbled Abu Ghazaleh. "Where are the suicide bombers? Where are the Fedayeen of Saddam? Where are the heroic Republican Guards?" Some Palestinian officials, however, expressed relief that the war was in its final stages now that Saddam's regime has collapsed. They said they hoped that now the US and the rest of the world would pay more attention to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. "We hope that Washington will now have time to solve our problems here," one official told The Jerusalem Post. "Let's hope that the US will now implement the road map plan for peace in the Middle East and force Israel to stop its aggression on our people." Since the beginning of the war, many Palestinians have been staging daily demonstrations in support of Saddam. The protests have often turned into anti-American and anti-British rallies where Palestinians burned effigies of US President George W. Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair. At least two Palestinian groups, Fatah and Islamic Jihad, announced that they had dispatched suicide bombers to Iraq to join in the fight against the US and British troops. Hundreds of Palestinian volunteers from Lebanon, Syria and the West Bank and Gaza Strip are reported to have arrived in Iraq to participate in the fighting. "This is a sad day for all the Arabs and Muslims, particularly the Palestinians," said Nael al-Am, a 36-year-old grocery owner in Ramallah. He is one of the few merchants who still keep a large-size poster of the deposed Iraqi president. Friends describe him as a staunch supporter of Saddam. "I invested a lot of money in buying a satellite dish and a new TV set because I wanted to watch the day the battle for Baghdad begins," explained the bearded shopkeeper. "I was sure that this was going to be one of the great battles of the century, where an Arab army would inflict heavy losses on the invading crusaders. I feel as if a dagger has been stuck in my heart when I see American soldiers strolling in the heart of Baghdad." Salim Jaber, a taxi driver from the nearby town of Beitunia, said he decided to call it a day when he heard on radio the news from Baghdad. "I just couldn't continue driving," he said. "It was very difficult for me and the passengers. I've never seen such solemn faces. It was as if they had lost dear ones." Many Palestinians said Saddam was the only Arab leader who sided with them both morally and financially in their confrontation with Israel. "He gave us a sense of pride because he was the only Arab leader who stood up against Israel and the US," said Abdel Majiud al-Bahs, a 46-year-old engineer. "Now that Saddam is gone, the Palestinians feel like orphans. We have lost an important ally. He was even more popular than Yasser Arafat." Since the beginning of the intifada more than two years ago, Saddam has paid about 30 million dollars to families of Palestinian victims of the violence, including suicide bombers who blew themselves up in Israel. The money was channeled through the pro-Iraqi Arab Liberation Front, a tiny Palestinian faction operating in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The last time Saddam's representative handed out checks to Palestinians was last week. Some Palestinians chose to vent their anger on the Arab media, especially al-Jazeera, Abu Dhabi and al-Arabiya TV stations, for broadcasting lies about the developments on the battlefield. "For the past three weeks these stations gave us the impression that Iraq had the upper hand in the fighting against the US and British forces," complained Yahya al-Natsheh, the owner of a boutique in al-Bireh, the twin city of Ramallah. "Where is the liar [iraqi information minister Mohammed] Sahhaf," he asked rhetorically. "He sounded and looked so confidant when he told us that the Iraqis were slaughtering the crusaders and mercenaries at the gates of Baghdad. Everyone believed that the Iraqis were cleverly luring the Americans and British into Baghdad, which was supposed into a huge graveyard for the crusaders." Older Palestinians said the events in Iraq are reminiscent of the Six Day War, when Arab radio stations and leaders told their audiences that Israel was on the verge of defeat. They said the TV appearances of the Iraqi information minister, who remained defiant till the last minute, insisting that everything was under control and that the enemy had been defeated. "Sahhaf reminded me of [Egyptian radio propagandist] Ahmed Said, who during the 1967 war, told us that the Israeli warplanes were falling like flies," said Abed al-Zamel, a 70-year-old retired schoolteacher from Silwad village near Ramallah. "Once again the Arabs have fallen victim to the lies of their leaders and media. We never learn from our mistakes. When the war erupted, I warned my sons not to watch Arab TV stations so they would not be disappointed and depressed when the truth eventually comes out."
