what time will it be HERE in the US..when you expect the protest by Sadr to be in full swing??

The mosques let out at about 2 p.m., so it would be 5 a.m. in Texas. It's after the mosques let out when the trouble usually begins.

There is a daytime curfew on Baghdad today, so we'll see what happens. We've already heard one explosion today so far.

Wow, that's almost the definition of irony.

It's interesting... while I'm fascinated with figuring things out, and understanding the whys and hows of things, I have an equal fascination with what 'chance' produces.

I'd probably be a control freak, but it's too interesting to watch what 'might' happen that no one thought about.

I don't know if this came from watching my children grow up, but I don't remember trusting the world to be at least amusing, if not wise, before they came along and taught me just about everything I know.

sorry, now I'm rambling, a bit incoherently. Must need sleep.....

So true. Maybe that's why Hillary's so hateful. She's still trying to drum the lies into our brains.

I was wondering about that. Does the curfew have anything to do with this so called Million Man March?

I think Truman, although I don't remember him too well, was the last of the old Democratic party. Although Kennedy didn't get much accomplished legislatively, he did stand up to the Russians over Cuba and earned the admiration of people all over the world. I was in England at the time and we couldn't pay for a drink for awhile. The blokes love Pres K and the Yanks. Crap, enough history.

He really did have a long history of having been unfairly attacked complicated with bad breaks.

Some people are thinkers, some people are feelers. Some people I know are obsessed with process whether it be historical, psychological or scientific....and who constantly analyse everything....and talk too much....

Well, they've been putting in daytime driving curfews on Fridays for a few weeks now. But I can't help but wonder if our forces and the Iraqi forces have something special planned for the "million man march?"

I have no way of knowing, but I hope the good guys are all ready for 'em.

Well, if you take out the power and land lines, you force them to use radios which can be intercepted, or couriers, which can be targeted or captured.

You have to remember they are looking at data on those computers they took from the Balbaak raid....I bet they received a lot of information, memos, list of troops and materials.....who knows what.

Damn it is always good to see you made it thru another night. Now we all just have to get you thru the day. Keep your head down. How are 'your' troops doing? Heard a whole bunch of people are headed to Baghdad. Has Sadr got a clue as to what is in for him?
