LOL! Two years ago the docs gave me some phenergan for my nausea. So, when they told me they were giving me that this time, I was looking forward to the wonderful floaty feeling.

It didn’t happen. It didn’t happen at all. Big sigh.

Archy posted this on another thread...I had forgotten about this order....it puts todays raid into perspective.

A special US unit now has the authority to go after Osama bin Laden inside Pakistan without having to seek permission first, according to two US officials. A comprehensive report on the hunt for bin Laden run by the Washington Post on Sunday says that Lieutenant General Stanley A McChrystal, the commander of the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) operates on the understanding with Pakistan that U.S. units will not enter Pakistan, except under extreme circumstances, and that Pakistan will deny giving them permission.

This is what happened in January 2006, when the JSOC troops clandestinely entered the village of Saidgai, two officials familiar with the operation said, and Pakistan protested.“The authority,” one knowledgeable person said, “follows the target”: if the target is bin Laden, the stakes are high enough for McChrystal to decide any action on his own.

The raid today was bigger than we suspect. This will be only the SECOND TIME we have entered Pakistan after a target.

Someone went hunting for very big game.
