Did those guys at Torpark figure out how to get along with Zone Alarm yet? I quit using it because everytime I'd fire it up it'd shutdown my firewall protection, not exactly what I want from my privacy software.

You missed one possibility.

1. Ohio class sub opens Trident missile doors unobserved from below the surface.

2. Russian satellites set off alarms as the hot line simultaneously rings to say, "The missiles are not headed to Russia."

3. Twenty minutes later the world's supply of glass is increased by 40% and Iran ceases to have a recognizable civilization.

The backstroke? (rimshot)

Just have to say love your tagline

We don't consider the Iwo and Boxer to be carriers, though they have flight decks for helos and VTOL.

Hey!! Tell that to the guys that sailed her!

IIRC, there are a couple of pizza-selling concessions in the Pentagon's commercial area - outer ring near the main entrance. But they are closed at night. Hence the call out orders to keep the planning and execution staffs carb levels up while ops go down on the other side of the world..

If Americans got together and ordered loads of pizza delivery, think they might get the hint?

[gonzo]

Whoops!! Didn't know about the Fourth Battle Group!

That's a helluva lotta ships and a helluva lotta firepower!

Looks like President Bush is gonna give the World either a Thanksgiving or Christmas Present! Stay well armed and safe, and Thanks for the heads-up, fat city!...............FRegards

Domino's'??? Bleahhh! The only good things about that oufit's product is, they deliver, and it's pretty cheap, for pizza. I can do it better, just not on the scale Domino's' does, for the price.

If one could get a concession in the Pentagon, think quality. Not totally outrageously expensive, just "very good", day in, and day out. And price it accordingly, remembering, daily or weekly repeat customers. It can't be too high flying & pricey, and conversely, don't serve 'em up the lowest common denominator, either.

I volunteer to supply the espresso. Once they tried mine, I'd be granted the needed security clearance, lol.

I can never remember the name of the one we toured & there was a whole lot of it that we weren't allowed to see.

My apologies to those who've served on the Carl Vinson!

Getting ready to RUUUUUMMMBLE !

These ships are there because Ahm-a-dinner-jug (alias "Adolph II") has threatened to close the strait of Hormuz to international shipping.

"Q: What are 4 carriers doing in the gulf?
A: Anything they want to do."

Pray that our reluctant leaders "want to".

[GoLightly]

I didn't see any mention of it in the American hit piece article, but didn't go to the source to check. Did I miss a mention of it?

Maybe they are there for the weather.

Capt. Renault: "What in heavens name brought you to Casablanca?"
Rick: "My health. I came to Casablanca for the waters."
Capt. Renault: "The waters? What waters? We're in the desert"
Rick: "I was misinformed."

Why can't Iran have a normal government?

Like Norway or Belgium?

What's the deal with the nut at the top?

Is President Bush up to something? Asked Rense.com

Way to establish your credibility there, Al Jazeera.

You mean the little guy with the beard is about to go BYE BYE?

[AdvisorB]

Yes, What could possibly be the harm in letting a peace-loving people have nuclear power...?
