When this started, I didn't think that he had it in him either. He surprised the heck out of me.

Wonderful news!

I am so happy for you all. That must be a real relief.

PS: For those who are interested and have the time on the blog http://eureferendum.blogspot.com there are several threads regarding the pros and cons of various armoured vehicles.

The co-author of the blog, Richard North (who is a serious analyst), contends that the British Army in Basra and elsewhere is exposed to unnecessary danger because he government has refused to supply properly armour protected vehicles. It is a scandal that only now is beginning to surface - driven to the surface by the blogosphere (what else!).

Lot's of cool info on military hardware for those who are interested.

> Anyone can. Good folks must.

Lie down with dogs, wake up with fleas.

Lie down with terrorists, wake up dead.

I would have done something, if for no other reason than to protect my family. If there was reallly nothing I could have done, then I would have left.

I had to go to bed just before you started the thread as I'm on the east coast, but please let us know if you need or want help doing this. If the war continues for too long, we could just go back to posting on the regular forum. Make sure you share your thoughts with us. Your effort is truly appreciated by all.

Thanks for the tip.

I think Israel wants Lebanon to sue for peace via a surrender of Hezbollah. Nothing less.

And the way things are going (so far) it looks like a sound strategy.

FYI..article in today's NY Times Metro section about how Hilalry's primary opponent yesterday called Israel a terrorist state.

On the one hand, this has the short trm effect of helping Hillary, but long term, it shows the true nature of the far left wing..the core...of the Dem party..

"It sure has been thumpy, bumpy and boomy around here latey, though. ;-)"

Bout to get even more thumpy, bumpy? That's what I gather from what I heard and read yesterday.
