Over here . . .
Allegra:
What time is "church" over on Friday??....(EST ??)
...and a HAL9000 BTTT !!
In about an hour. Around 2 p.m. We're eight hours ahead of EST.
It's very quiet right now.
They ain't seen nothin' yet.
Get 'em, Good Guys!!
There is a real frickin' irony to us being in one country protecting the largely Shiite population while all countries with large Shiite populations (i.e. Iraq, Iran and Syria) show support for people firing missiles into cities trying to hit civilian targets.
Not that it changes our mission, but its got to be irritating to the troops on some level.
I just type Baghdad time in Google when I want to know what Allegra's time is. It's easier than math!
I am shocked - mind you! shocked! that I didn't see you at the rally.
I especially like the reference to the "victorious war" against Israel.
I guess they do not understand the meaning of all the practice fire is between the bridge & the circle.........
What's happening on your turf in the GZ?
...target rich environment...
If Iran or Syria attempt to intervene...that's what American air power is for.
And please, let's not have anyone acting surprised that the Israeli/Hisbollah fights are really part of this. How blind can you be?
Drawing Syria and Iran openly into the fray only makes plain what is already occurring surreptitiosly. This is a clash of civilizations.
The Islamics want to drag us back into their 7th century culture because the other outcome - that they join the 21st century global economy - is not possible. Aside from oil, what can they offer? We won't be importing Saudi made cars or Iranian made microwave ovens anytime soon.
Their brigand culture spawned a violent religion and stifled their cultural growth. It requires that we stomp them the same way we stomped the German Nazis and Japanese Imperialists, crushing their ablility to make war, and forcing them to remake their culture from the ashes of defeat.
If anyone has a better suggestion. I await your reply.
I only hope there's another bridge stampede.
Ooh, I'm going to heck for that one.
Why, I'm posting from the Ali Baba Internet Cafe in Sadr City right now! You were supposed to meet me at Ferdoz Square for the rally. Where are you? It's about to start and I can't hold this great spot I got for us much longer!
;-)
I like this plan.
I think Saddam was the right guy for the job. Hindsight is 20/20.
Well, hey! You got a better spot than I did. I'll be right up! I've got the beer. (BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!)

That's a good trick, thanks.
BTW, I just learned another google trick
Fuzzy Search - Search for ~music player, and google searches for music player, mp3 player, audio player, and other words that have similar meanings to music
I've been trying to figure out how to make google tell me what it considers synonymns - for example, searching for liberal returns 271 million hits while ~liberal returns 796 million.
Thanks! I learn something everyday on FR.
Can't disagree -- your assessment, tho' sad, is approximately correct.
*DieHard*
Stay safe. Thanks for your reports.
