WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. F-16 warplanes attacked a radar at a military-civilian airport near Basra in southern Iraq on Thursday in the second such raid against Baghdad's air defenses this week, U.S. defense officials said.

1. They were just itching for it, weren't they?
Just two weeks before we got what we had coming, all along.

4. I may just have to create another e-mail just so I can recommend this thread again.
I wasn't here then; if only I'd known.

Troll the archive. The 9/11 reaction really is historic. I was looking in there for posts from around 9/13 when Rummy & Dickie went on CNN and blamed 9/11 on Iraq.

17. A couple of years ago someone posted them on the anniversary and I read them.
Every damn emotion I had that day was right there in black and white on my screen.

I'm so damn glad I found this place; it's a bleeding sanctuary from the madness sometimes.

9. and who could have known?
obviously the patriots who frequent Democratic Underground.
this was before my time on this forum. at this time i think i was turning to AlterNet and left leaning blogs for my news. i don't recall this particular story, but i do recall very clearly knowing, and saying out loud prior to the Nov 2000 selection that if bush is president he will throw a war.

so i get real sick of people in the news saying they didn't know. bullshit.

thanks for posting this
