May I add to your letter to Moody?

P.S. And leave your tweezers, magnifying glass and bodily fluids at home.

I don't understand... take a gun and point it where?

Hmmm... wonder who'll support him at the UN?

Oh, and you stink.

there's a lot of money, power and prestige and control of polivy decisions in who gets to be king of the palestinian hill...a small kingdom, true, but it takes tribute from such a wide variety of sources...

What am I looking for?

Argh! Beckel and the talking points. I kind of like the fact that Iran is surrounded by us in Iraq and in Afghanistan. Maybe that was the plan?

There's a map there with all the targets that Israel has attacked. They update it frequently. There's also a map that shows all of the infrastructure that has been hit.

I agree. I'll look around. If one was fired the question is did it shoot it down. I cant imagine a drone has great countermeasures against a SAM.
