Good grief!
I think I've lost my mind.
I hate the effects of aging.
I wish there was a SERE school to counter it. ;o)

I've been meaning to tell you that, should you want to be
on the MS ping list, WKB and bourbon are the keepers of it.
We'd love for you to join us.

I hope you and your grandson have a blast at the race.
One word of advice...earplugs.
They will greatly improve your viewing pleasure.
Trust me on this. ;o)

I hope all is going smoothly as you prepare to move.

Bump!

Bush is, without a doubt, a superb poker player.

Boy, do I ever agree with you! Furthermore, I worry that Russia is behind this present mess in some twisted way!

The big question is why the Bush Administration isn`t talking about this. Can`t understand?

I think the reason the adminstration is not talking about it is that it wants to be absloutely sure. Why open your mouth prematurely?

Shaw says he leaked the information about the two Russian generals and the clean-up operation to Gertz in October 2004 in an effort to "push back" against claims by Democrats that were orchestrated with CBS News to embarrass President Bush just one week before the November 2004 presidential election. The press sprang bogus claims that 377 tons of high explosives of use to Iraq's nuclear weapons program had "gone missing" after the U.S.-led liberation of Iraq, while ignoring intelligence of the Russian-orchestrated evacuation of Iraqi WMDs

See BS once again caught attempting to engineer an overthrow of the Bush Administration. Their co-conspirators?: the Democrat Party and Russian military intelligence. There's an unholy troika committed to the downfall of America.

This story has been around for a long time now. But it makes me wonder, why hasn't Bush confronted Russia about this? Surely he has to know if this is true.

I keep telling people, Russia right now is still our greatest enemy along with China. Why won't people listen?

I suspect will get a clear picture of what happened in 40 or 50 years. Too many people have too many reasons right now for keeping a lid on definitive information.

we backed Iraq and the Soviet Union backed Iran

Did you ever hear of Iran-Contra ????

Didn't think so!!!

That was about the Reagan Administration helping Iran by selling them misslies to use against Iraq.

The Reagan policy was based on the fact that Both Iran and Iraq were our enemies and they were at war with each Other. The Reagan policy was to help which ever one was losing at the time.

Reagan reasoned that if two of our enemies were fighting it was in our interests to keep them fighting. Thus we helped which ever nation was losing.

"Iraqi southern regional commander (Ali Ibrahim al-Tikriti)"

Be sure to let me know when this Iraqi guy or some Russian guy or any guy or gal from anywhere actually gets brought forward in any sort of Official Capacity by this Administration or by this Congress to prove anything.

I would have to trust the Administration's call on this. However, instinctively, I do not trust Putin. He meets with Hamas, he has close ties with Iran, he's ex-KGB, etc.

I'm not to sure of what " I wonder if it fits you means " but don't get too caught up in your heritage. My father fought proudly on the USS hornet. The world chess game is a complicated board and what we are taught to believe may not always be true. A wounded animal never forgets how it got shot as the Russians aren't forgetting how we tried to bankrupt them.

"The big question is why the Bush Administration isn`t talking about this. Can`t understand?"

Is it possible that the admin. wants to keep this info (embarrassing to Russia) secret for now, as a "bargaining chip" in the upcoming Security Council talks on anti-Iran sanctions? Without Russia on board, the last chances for a non-military solution to the Iran crisis will go down the drain. If Russia opposes sanctions, then US could
threaten to officially go public with the WMD info. I would be skeptical of any diplomatic solution. IMHO it's a waste of time, but that seems to be the administration's focus for now (at least until the 2006 elections, after which a strike on Iran would be more likely).

What is the upside? The downside?

How much longer do we have to take heat covering for the Soviet Russians?

Oh no. There goes our U.S./Russian relations. Oh, that's right, we really never had any with the muslim supporting Russians anyway.

This does introduce new questions about their willingness to meet with Hamas, no?

The upside would be letting Russia know we're not fooled. The downside, they get mad at us. At this stage, who cares? Students of biblical prophesy know the eventual outcome of Russia's future.

As long as they continue to sell nukes to Arabs they are not our friend and we shouldn't consider them as such.

What do Bush and Putin really talk about when they meet at Davos or in Texas? Baseball?
