Diogenesis, as always, a great post.

The middle sign says "Australia." Are aussie forces there too?

Why is the DeGaulle still in the Mediterranean?

Thanks for the pings.

NO, that's a comment coming from 19-23yr old male Marines who wanna make it to Perth and Sydney for the scenery.

Every WESTPAC Marine knows that Aussie Babes are the best.

A Modest Proposal- "Ground Zero Middle-East" anyone?

How about just the threat? Here's a thought......we send in the Special Forces with a very special, tamper-proof Thermonuclear package which they attach to the meteorite in the black cinder block hut in the center of Mecca. We then tell them that when the next act of Middle Eastern terrorism occurs, we "open" the package for them.
