Stay safe, kiddo. We depend on you. Thanks. We're all OK here. In fact, it's very quiet in Baghdad. There's a curfew. I'm wondering if it's going to be locked down again tomorrow. I wouldn't be surprised.

Who reported on that intel timeline?
To: Dog
I'm more convinced now ....they went after a HVT...and not some midlevel LT. Can't agree with you there. The timing might very well have been based on the presence of a HVT, but the operation itself has significant merit in and of itself.
Sounds to me like they've located a major hive of terrorists, and are cleaning it out. This helps the Iraqis who have turned against the insurgency, it helps us in the "hearts and minds" department, and it kills a bunch of bad guys.
Zarqawi loses if he gets captured and killed; but I think he loses bigger if he gets away again, while leaving all of his minions to get killed.

She's just beyond my ability to tolerate today.
I did hear David Gregory though. I would like to see him in a room with my son and his comradres in the 101ST. They could EXPLAIN some facts to him.
Succinctly. Quickly. Unforgettably.
101ST AB CO of this OP will be on FOX in a minute.
HOOAH EAGLES!

Helen is still remarkably lucid for her age and there is no question she knows exactly what she is doing and saying..
There is nothing "pathetic" about her actions..
She hates Israel, Jews in general, conservatives, (and democrats, but less so... She is a socialist, full-blooded, maybe communist ) democracy, freedom, independence, self-reliance...
You can take every press interview Helen has ever done and play them back to back, and hear the same hateful message throughout..
Her strident, hateful, defeatist message never stops..
She may be doing it by rote now that she is getting older, but she still believes in every venom-filled word..
Right to the bottom of her rotten heart..
