Sometimes, to me, it seems that the entire situation is a hall of mirrors. What we see as defensive the Russians convince their people is provocative. No doubt they harbor suspicions about the enlargement of NATO. Things are pretty much on a hair-trigger alert.

Now, add in AQ (probably funded by the Russians on some level) and it seems very likely we will be faced with nuclear detonations on US soil; also various biochemical attacks and the like. I don't think it will "just" be AQ going after us--Russia and China, IMO, are a part of their coalition.

There was a post on the Mutter's site last night that said that there were off line rumors to suggesting that when things heat up in Israel- that may well be the "go code" for the rest of the AQ attacks.

Just got home from the hospital a few minutes ago. Thanks so much for the prayers and positive thoughts on my behalf.

Good news: the procedure went well, and I'll be back at work in a day or 2 or 3. (Hey, at least I get to FReep to my heart's content for the next few days.)

Not so good news: I'm facing at least 2 more surgeries over the next several weeks.

When I told my Mom I truly wished I didn't have any sinuses, she told me, "Without 'em, your head would be too heavy to lift." Gotta love maternal wisdom...

We did have troops in Georgia, a while back. Not certain if they remain there or have returned.

Adzharia is a breakaway province of Georgia, and has a diplomatic mission to the Kremlin. Kind if convenient isnt it, especially since Russia is a hair trigger away from invading them to re-consolidate their former empire.

There is only one reason that I can see for the Russians to be building such massive underground citys. And that is that they fully intend to use them.

Well, the go code may come very soon then...
