"We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail!" President Bush
The big news of the day is the death and burial at sea of Osama bin Laden. Thank you, President Bush and the US military (including my son and future son-in-law) who made this day happen. Other news is the nuptials of William and Catherine in Great Britain. May God bless their union and draw them close to Him in Jesus Christ. Alabama (my state) and other southeast states continue the task of digging out and rebuilding. A massive effort is underway with able bodies and supplies needed.
Thanks buddy!
Okra... someday I will have to give that a try.
We are blessed to be filled with so many graces. A gift from our Dear Lord.
Blessings to you and your family as well.
It's wonderful hearing from you again. I miss the ATRW gang.
God Bless you as well.
I haven't had time to follow this story, so have no idea what the 'official' reasoning is.. Somehow I seriously doubt they are concerned about Cairo. I'd sooner guess they need to get the water spread out before it makes a straight shot for NO. I think the CoE is hiding behind Cairo's skirts.

Careful. Do you want an explanation?
Yes, I do.
I also want to hear how your latest breakfasts have been going.
FYI, I’m listening to Stansberry’s Investment Advisory. Hmmmm.
Could be, Cairo is being used as the reason in the press.
Meanwhile, Texas has been denied FEMA assistance for the wildfires.
Good to see you again. Things seem kinda empty when I don't see our ATRW clan discussing politics, life and living in general.
Cheers, my friend.
Before I head to dreamland tonight (which probably won’t be for sometime), I want to let you know I’m thinking of you and wondering if your shack-in-the-back is clean yet.
Sometimes it's best I don't discuss life and living in general. ;)
But I have been saving up stories. I just have to sort through them for family-viewing values.

After I got over the shock of this happening while this monster was still illegally holding office, I was saying not to celebrate at all, because he will slurp up every bit of credit he can eek out of it. And I was saying..."The good news is that Osama is dead. The bad news is that we lost our Republic. He just sealed his re-election in 2012."
However, since then, more and more has come out, as you know, about his dithering before making a decision. He has known this day was coming since the intel came out in August or September where Osama was located. He has had months and months to dither on it, while the Seals and others trained on the mission. Then while he took 16 hours to dither, the target could have escaped.
Amidst all this, there was a great deal of confusion coming out about what went down during the mission, emitted by the lying mouths of his handlers. Osama was armed, and then no, we was unarmed. Oh, no he was armed. Osama used one of his wives as a human shield, then, no, he didn't.
And people are finally seeing his arrogance showing by his victory lap and refusing to give President Bush the credit he deserves for putting in place the instruments that resulted in the intel, and how this hideous monster vehemently objected (and after being illegally put in the Oval Office, immediately eliminating these very instruments that ultimately resulted in Osama's death), and the refusal to release the photos and videos, and President Bush telling this bastard (literally, because there is no evidence of a marriage license of Stanley Ann Dunham to whoever fathered this monster) to pound sand when the monster invited President Bush to run the victory lap at Ground Zero.
He didn't have to make any decision about killing Osama. He had no choice, because to let this one go by would have ensured the end of his political career. He did it for one reason and one reason only. To be re-elected in 2012. It's ALL about him. Always has been.
The breakfasts of late have been going well. Yesterday there wasn't much discussed about OBL's death because we all know what's going on. The discussion was way more about the deficit and debt. Any updat on going back to Indonesia?
>>about his dithering before making a decision.
Mark Levin said last night that any President would have made the same decision. In effect, there was no decision.
I’ve pictured myself in that role and I would have not made a decision because I would have already given the military the green light.
Where was the courage, Obama.....?? In accepting the Peace prize?
But any saving-the-world stories albeit sans adult drinks?
Well that’s the thing. Caligula did NOT want to capture and kill OBL. However, hubby’s take is “what is the relationship between Obama and Osama?” IOW, did they have some back-room relationship, maybe through their Arab connections, that Obama didn’t want Osama to broadcast? I’m usually the one for conspiracy theories, but he has me beat on this one.
Of course, Caligula didn’t want him captured or killed. Caligula essentially agrees with Osama. But, there were too many people who knew about the operation to let it go. So, he dithered. As usual. But it is really too far out in front of 2012 for it to help him and that, too, was part of the dithering.
More will come out about this raid and it won’t look good for Caligula at all. The liberal part of his base is upset about killing Osama. The black part of his base won’t care what he does. But I bet they’re not going to vote this next time either.
All of our monthly support is pledged. But we still have a sizeable one-time need. It was around $20,000 at the beginning of February. Now, it is around $7500. I have seen that amount wiped out overnight. But, it takes people. Do you know anyone who needs a tax deduction? We’ll leave as soon as that is gone. Maybe this summer.

Good morning to all.
Sunshine in Hoosier land this morning..YEA!!
The news is still changing about the Seals and the taking out of the madman.
I have many fond memories of Seal teams.
When we lived on Silver Strand, CA, the Seals used to train right down the road from us. One night, our family was on the beach (San Diego bayside) enjoying a campfire and roasting hot dogs, when a fellow emerged from the bay. It frightened the kids and shook me up a little. My husband and he talked for awhile and then my husband returned to our little camp-fire as the man from the bay swam away.
My husband later told me that the fellow was an instructor for a team of Seals that were using our little camp-fire as a training point and he was pleased that we were completely unware of the Seals.
It was comforting to know that when the teen-agers in our little Navy community were spending time at the beach area at night, they were also under the watchful eyes of Seal teams training in the area.
Love your tagline change...ha
