Don’t forget the Bongs and the Sugar-Cubes man.

My own first thoughts, too, along with having the "point" man armed with a 12 gauge, like in Nam.

That being said, if I had to be on that mission in Iraq, could I have a Browning, or even an old Model 12, instead?

I think “Operation Ithaka” refers to Odysseus’s well planned re capture of his kingdom after his return from the Trojan wars.

True, very true.

I’ve got my fingers crossed for Operation Minneapolis.

This too.

A lot of learning goes on in Ithaca — the home of “Operation Imminent Horizon”.

The White House and FBI won’t talk about Amerithrax because access to the strain and weaponization know-how is suspected to have been by an islamist hardliner through a US Army DARPA program

In July of 2005, Ali Al-Timimi was given a life sentence for acting as the religious leader of what would come to be known as the “Virginia Jihad Network,” a group of violent radicals that were preparing for holy war against Indians and Americans. He was working closely with Bin Laden’s religious mentor al-Hawali — the man was the express subject of the 1996 declaration of war against the US and the 1998 claim of responsibility for the bombing of the US embassies.

Al-Timimi worked a spitwad’s distance from famed Russian bioweaponeer Ken Alibek at DARPA-funded/founded George Mason University’s Center for Biodefense and the former head of USAMRIID Charles Bailey. He had a high security clearance for mathematical work in bioinformatics for the Navy.

Perhaps White House counterterrorism head Townsend and Director Mueller don’t talk about Amerithrax because then they would have to admit that some USG knuckleheads somewhere gave the guy a letter of commendation from the White House and access to their computers at GMU.

Bush’s top counter-terrorism aide Frances Townsend said yesterday of Amerithrax:

“Obviously, that’s an ongoing investigation,” Frances Townsend told reporters during a White House briefing on the newly declassified key findings of a National Intelligence Estimate on terrorist threats to the United States.

“I’m sure (FBI) Director (Robert) Mueller would be delighted to answer that,” joked Townsend, who had said that the United States had not suffered a terrorist attack nearly six years after the September 11, 2001 strikes.

Asked whether the anthrax attacks, which began with a letter reportedly postmarked September 18, 2001, counted as a terrorist attack

Townsend tersely replied: “It does in my mind.”

p.s. The new Bruce Willis “Die Hard” movie is good and iilustrates the same point using a fictional plot.
