Hopefully, you won't tell people how to write their comments.

Hopefully that doesn't occur, I hope.

P.S. "English" is upper case, when used with 'language'. i.e., English language. :-)

I personally believe he has already lost a lot of weight - about 98% of it all at once last March.

We have a winner (though the GBU Weight Loss Program happened in April).

[epluribus_2]

well, they are shifty SOBs - it's possible. Hopefully we'll get someone to explain it all before too long.

[agrace]

Man I hope they get the big one soon.

Tomorrow would be a good day for it.

The 1/16 Mech is a 1st Infantry division unit (Bradley riders) from Fort RIley, and I said whaaat? But they have been chopped to the 82nd, and their companies divided among the parachute infantry bats to back 'em up with a little hard-core firepower. Seems to be working out well. Here's a statement by one of the battallion commanders, which includes praise for the companies of 1/16 he has on board:

I'm sure if we dug we'd find more examples. The US has not deployed an Army this imaginative and flexible since WWII -- no disrespect to Vietnam or Korea vets intended. If Saddam's Sunnis want to fight an unconventional war, that's a war of ideas and imagination, and they're going to lose. The people, the war, their lives -- game, set, match.

d.o.l.

Really is too bad the Turks did not come over to patrol tikrit. Their prisoners would give us Saddam's swiss bank numbers before lunchtime.

Patriot,

I think you should use your spell checker before you start criticizing other folks' grammar. Hopefully ( a word which is an accepted and well established adverb in the English language), you have a spell checker :-<

[Sam's Army]

HOPEFULLY you'll get over it.

[pctech]

That's because I heard there are body doubles, that the whole story was fabricated to throw off the coalition forces. Worked pretty good too I'm sad to say.

HOPEFULLY:

The newest FR buzzword, inside joke, etc.

My gut tells me we'll get him within 3 months if not sooner. We have been conducting quite a few raids as of late and they may yeild the intelligence we need to get him.

If we do get him, then Iraq will be another issue the dims won't be able to touch Pres. Bush on.

The only thing left would be gay marraige... BWWWAAAAAAAAHAHAHAH!

[Destructor]

Give him 15 seconds to start talking, then blow his head off.

[diamondjoe]

I hate to get into these grammar disputes, but...

Yes, hopefully is accepted, but as an adverb. To wit:

"He wondered, hopefully, if Saddam was dead." This means that the state of his wondering was hopeful.

The way most people use it, and as the original poster indicated, is incorrect. If you say "Hopefully he'll be caught soon," the adverb "hopefully" is not matching the verb you intend it to match. You intend to mean "I am hopeful that he will be caught soon," but you are actually saying that he will be hopeful when he is caught.

With that out of the way,

Let's git this mo-fo.
