PLEASE SEND THIS TO EVERYONE ON YOUR CONTACT LIST A new virus has just been discovered that has been classified by Microsoft as the most destructive ever! This virus was discovered yesterday afternoon by McAfee and no vaccine has yet been developed.

******************** WOW! Kos gets Excommunicated! Kerry's Site Delinks Daily Kos. John Kerry's campaign site has removed their link to Daily Kos: "In light of the unacceptable statement about the death of Americans made by Daily Kos, we have removed the link to this blog from our website. As John Kerry said in a statement earlier this week, “My deepest sympathies are with the families of those lost today. Americans know that all who serve in Iraq - soldier and civilian alike - do so in an effort to build a better future for Iraqis. These horrific attacks remind us of the viciousness of the enemies of Iraq’s future. United in sadness, we are also united in our resolve that these enemies will not prevail.”   [Little Green Footballs] Looks like the Kos really screwed up!  I'm sure he assumed he would be endearing himself to the donks with his radical statements.  He failed to realize one thing.  Even thought the donks would like to see the U.S. soundly defeated and leave Iraq with our tail between our legs, they are smart enough to not say such things in public and make things worse then they already are for them in this campaign.  You would think someone with the readership of Kos would be a little more in tune with public opinion.  I guess huge numbers don't mean everything. 7:17:13 PM

And it was well worth the wait. The Fallujah savagery was exactly what the... So what do they do? They kill our people to try to kick us out before there is a stable government which can tell them how the game has changed. Leave too soon, and that's what you'll get: warring factions and a mess to rival Lebanon in the 1980's. You also get the failure of the entire War on Terrorism because, as unsurprising as this sounds, we will have gone the way of the "Madrid Piece Process" as defined by several bombs and two hundred dead civilians. It's called "capitulation", and it defines the losing side in a war."   [Shining full plate and a good broadsword] 8:59:50 AM
