ABsolutely. I bet you can get a lot of donated FreeRepublic back up and vaccine.

Though I wonder if 50 yards is far enough away - espcially when the foam starts appearing at the mouth.

[VOA]

I'm out now, but I do miss it.

But for a self-collapsing/self-healing lung in high school, I'd probably have
tried for the same gig.
I remember that occassionally there would be TV advertisements on OKC stations
about a tour day for high-school students to come to Ft. Sill to see things "blow up".

Too bad VCRs weren't around then...those commercials would make Democrats/liberals
heads explode spontaneously.

Anyway, a tip of this civilian's hat to the 101st and any other units for their work today...
and an even bigger hurrah if they got Saddam's evil seed.

I woulndn't want to have been the saftey officer on that shoot! But the Mother of All Out of Safe Shots was the in late '50s. An 11" (280mm) HE round was fired from Atomic Annie out of safe and landed at the intersection of Sheridan and Gore in Lawton. It was early in the morning, and there were no casualties (other than some careers). The story was that both the safety officer (some poor butterbar) and the FDC officer (the battery XO) were not only cashiered, but went to Leavenworth.

Just remember the Roman axiom regarding knife fights; 2 inches in the right spot is fatal.

"Hey Mr. X, now that you are the world's richest auto mechanic with that $30 Million
ransom, what are you going to do?"

Auto Mechanic: "I'm Going To DISNEYLAND!"

Bwaney Frank's proctologist

Now that's a guy that has a HUGE job.

[Aracelis]

Thanks for posting this pic of our boys and their find. I've passed it along to interested parties.

Rush Limbaugh just read " British intelligence confirming sons are dead"

Repeat fire for effect!
(and I bet our British cousins didn't depend on the French for this intelligence...)

[steveegg]

Last gasp from the dead-enders? - Explosions, bombings and gunfire in Baghdad (2 threads currently up; I don't know which one will stay so I'm posting links to both).

I pray this is just the "death wiggle" of these d-mnable gerbils.

[BlessedByLiberty]

Reporting is confused because they don't know if its celebrating news of Hussein's son or outbreak of hostilities - broke away to Jessica Lynch.

[steveegg]

That's why I put it as a question (Dog's "explosions" thread got pulled as a duplicate). Since it's dark there, it'll be a while until things get settled.

[steveegg]

Could be that, could be celebration (they tend to use bullets for celebrations there). I wouldn't quote odds either way right now.

[Quilla]

I've been searching for another possible posting of this picture on the internet and am not having any success. It is amazing how something so explosive has not appeared anywhere in the media. (Well, not amazing, typical really.) I think I'll send it out to a few sources, Brit Hume for one.

[Liz]

Heheh....maybe Bwaney could opt for "entry-level reduction" surgery?

[cyncooper]

Col. Hunt is on Fox (Now it really does feel like the "old days" of the Bagcam).

His sources say it is the sons and he is praising the execution of the mission and says they are most likely close to finding Saddam.

[Brian S]

Both FOX and MSNBC now reporting that the celebration in Baghdad has begun with small arms shots into the air!

Sure sounds like we previously got Saddam.
