Just over here enjoying the sun and sand. 8-)

I deal with our soldiers each and every day. I see just a small part of our current capablities. I have no doubt of the extent of hurt we can lay on somebody,whenever we need to.

Just more posturing by another of these clowns.

Tell me, how is the attitude back home regarding what we're doing over here? I hope the majority still understand what is necessary. I fear that too many are starting to forget 9/11.

Later

You would think, but does Bush have the guts to fight this war in such a way the we kick the crap out of our enemy or does he keep playing around?

You keyboard kommandos really need to shut up and watch what the adults do.

I wish Bush would give them what they have deserved since 1979.

I'm just starting to read "Guests of the Ayatollah". I'm preparing to be really angry at Jimmah and his gang. I've also been reading Vince Flynn's novels about how his protaganist, Mitch Rapp, deals with jihadists. They're also very interesting for how Rapp describes his dealings with politicians. He doesn't think much of them.
