[wolf6656]

Do you suppose they're all walking cause the Nissan's and Toyotas are all in the body shop getting the tank tracks buffed out?

[GOPyouth]

[scab4faa]

Shouldn't we have taken down that statue in the middle there by now?

[Anamensis]

Ah, Heather. Yes, Heather. She doesn't even seem to have much make-up on. Remarkable.

"In its' first mobilization of forces to a potential combat zone since the Vietnam War, the Coast Guard is sending roughly 1400 personnel and eight cutters to the Persian Gulf.

There are several sources. This is one and it was at the end of January. Their function is to prevent incidents such as the Cole.

[Consort]

Department of Defense Directive 1005.8. Again, I don't know if it applies to seals, logos, etc. Coast Guard moves ahead of Air Force in war time.

[pitinkie]

Yes she does..the "natural" look.

[knak]

We still have no sound????

[pitinkie]

[angelwings49]

[Khuder Al-Emeri, 43, center, working for the U.S. Marines 24th Expeditionary Unit as an interpreter, is reunited with local villagers after 12 years...]

I just saw a report on this man on CNN, Bob Franken was the reporter. The people of the village were cheering the US troops and even put a wreath of flowers on one of them! Hopefully it will run again in 2-3 hours.

There's also an article on this in the National Post. I like his quote in the last paragraph: "While coalition officials hope the Free Iraqi Forces will form the basis of the next Iraqi army, Mr. Al-Emeri dismissed a leadership role for himself. "It's up to the people, it's democratic," he said."

Good Morning, All.

Checking in later than usual, and was wondering if anything further had been said about Allan's post #3917 from yesterday's thread regarding the retired Russian generals running the Iraq offensive.

'Retired' Russian generals Atelov and Matsov have been in charge of Iraqi command and control. That is why no communications from Iraqi command and control have been intercepted since the start of the war. The Russians have been directing everything.

[pitinkie]

What is that group!

[scab4faa]

Lots of ppl walking around now

[Anomaly in Illinois]

I loved Shep during the 2000 elections, he helped keep me sane.

[pitinkie]

Maybe its a bus stop.

[spectr17]

So you're the first soldier into Sodomy's best palace.

Where do you head first?

Hmmmmmmmm. I'm off for the licquor cabinet first. Get me some whiskey to choke down the dust from the day. Then I'm going to check out that luxurious bed you know he has. Maybe do some jumping jacks on that bad boy and break down the springs.

Next up would be pics with my buds in Sodomy's silk bathrobe to show the folks back home. A nice cigar would add the right touch.

[chnsmok]

Lot of people. Wonder what's up?

[umbagi]

Heavy young male foot traffic in the circle again.

And now a big herd of military-age males headed back the other way, across the street from the cam.
