According to this press release:
Quote[/b] ]Washington , D.C. - White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan announced a major update to the game "Iraq War." He suggested that the patch for Iraq War 2.0 would address many of the flaws of the first release version.
McClellan suggested the game had not been as popular as hoped and that this major update will address the issues. Among the list of improvements are the following:

I wish it was that easy. The entire invasion was intended to be an entertainment series for Americans. During Clinton, we depended on fictional movies to bring to us a president who would send soldiers into battle and have them not return. It was really boring.
We do not need that kind of movie anymore.

17 Sailors killed, 40 wounded in the attack on the USS Cole.
26 Feb. 93
World Trade Center bombed.
28 Feb. 93
Janet Reno burns the Branch Davidian compound to the ground. #When asked about it Bubba says "You will have to ask the Attorney General about that".
4 Oct. 93

You are right 3xr. The truth of my quote remains. How files in a Whitewater investigation compares to losing thousands of Americans due to a presidential lie is beyond me. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif

K3XR - You forgot about Ruby Ridge
Please, do not forget the Bush Administration's reaction and massacre at Ruby Ridge back in August of 1992 before Clinton got in!
Good point MW

Give Ms. Yolanda Parker a "gold star" for this astute observation about the Democratic Party:
<span style='color:blue'>"The only strategy Republicans need to stay in power is patience. They just need to wait untill our party self-implodes through idiotic decisions..."</span>
Well, it's seems that's happening now. The Democratic Party has swung too far left, and wants to make another "idiotic decision" like wanting to "cut and run" in Iraq.
The Democrats are supplying their own rope to hang themselves with Republicans only acting as mere spectators watching the slow demise of a once great and powerful political party.

Only the conservatives could claim the Democratic party is falling apart. The only party falling apart is the Republicans!! The facts are that this republican Administration and Congress has been a failure. Bush is like Pigpen, everything he touches turns to crap. The American people judge him incompetent and un-trustworthy.
All professional analysis shows that the republicans will lose a lot of seats in the Midterm elections. It is just a matter of how many!

Anyone see the Ruby Ridge made for TV movie with Randy Quaid and Laura Dern? I borrowed it from the library, what an F'd up deal that was. Granted those people were pretty wacky but talk about an overreaction, eeesh.
As far as Iraq goes it is truly a tragedy for both America and Iraq, not to mention the mess it has made of relations with former allies and the nice stirring up it did in the Muslim world. Sick, sad, and misdirected, this administration has a lot to clean up and even more to answer for in coming months and years.

Yeah, Dems are firing buckshot at their own figuratively rather than literally. While this story is shameful, it does not compare to the shame of the topic of this thread.
Radio friends, we have thousands and thousands of American lives who are having their families torn to shreads because we have a so-called leader who has lap dogs across the country eager to lap up the lies of WMD and threat to American security. He had an opportunity to stop 9-11 and decided to go to grade school instead.
How do we have so many people in this country who refuse to support their military heroes? I will never know. How can you sleep at night??? Your hatred for other Americans will be the undoing of this country.

ummm... Bill,
The person making this comment was NOT a "conservative". She is a liberal Democrat making this observation about her party at Democratic fund raiser. Read the article. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

Riiight. So is that the reason that why we are the majority party now? I thought it was because the the majority of American voters thought we presented a united front and are doing a better job of running the country than the libs. Thanks for "setting me straight" on this is issue OM. Silly me.

The only problem with the present leadership in the White House right now is that they are not doing a good job of getting the "word" out. Public Relations seem to be a problem for them.

I wish I was as clairvoyant as the Democrats. I can't see that far into the future. It may very well be that you are right. The Dems seem to want to be more "centrist" than Paul Hacket who, according to the article that KFC presented a few posts back, had to withdraw from the Ohio Senatorial race. Why? It seems his own party started a "whispering" campain and turned against him. Is this what the Dems call "being unified"? I don't think so and don't think the American people are buying this propaganda.
The mid-term elections will tell the story of which party will be running the country for years to come. I suspect it will be one of the most important off-year elections in our history.

Where I come from, people who shoot at cops or Federal agents usually wind up dead. I remember them dropping a bomb on the Black Panthers in a residential neighborhood.
But they didn't bomb the Branch Davidians - the evidence is that the Davidians started the fire themselves. As for Ruby Ridge, the same basic rule applies - shoot at a cop and kiss your arse goodbye.
You may live in some kind of fantasy world where that is not the case, but if so, I hope you don't end up getting innocent people killed for your stupidity. You have a right to bear arms. You most certainly do not have a right to resist arrest and use those weapons to do so.
The Dummycrats are not making any points with me lately with some of them calling for a pullout of Iraq. We broke it, we bought it, and until we fix it, we can't leave. This war is not Vietnam, and it's still winnable.

Here another photo which actually depects what's really going on Iraq:
The Real Story. (http://www4.army.mil/armyimages/armyimage.php?photo=9331)
We don't see these kinds of pictures and reports because our socialist propaganda outlets (ie, the "news" media) what's EVERYONE to know ONE, and ONLY ONE, side of what's happening in Iraq. Fair and Balanced? Nope. XR demostrates this point very well.

Glad to hear that the pictures of the American Soldiers in caskets are a lie. You had better ready your proof on this and present it to the liberal media that Bush has eating out of his hand.
