Rejoicing was heard in newsrooms and democratic party campaign offices all across AmeriKKKa.

this is to be expected. The terrorists know they’re losing and are lashing out in desperation.

Gee, how did Iraq get back in the news?

Pray that the Iraqi’s can get the fat boy. Send him back to Iran in pieces.

Oh, noisy and bumpy. They shelled us during lunchtime and they just sent a few over our heads to the Green Zone again a few minutes ago.

It's just crazy here.

Are they doing the “drop 3 and split routine” or different shoot-n-scoot tactics?

BTW,

I was poking around at Victory base from 13-17 January. Was pretty quiet. only 1 mortar attack on the camp - and that wasn’t even close. Went to Fallujia the next day and then up to Balad for a few.

Way too many folks poking around with nothing to do.

It's been noisy over here on VBC too, but mostly small arms from off post.

Dumb move on their part, as they'll find out in the coming days. JAM dropping the cease fire will just allow us to go bag the targets we've been restrained from hitting. The bad elements who pretended to be on the fence. They had their chance at reconciling. They'll wish they took it. They're not the only ones who've been getting ready during the cease fire.

They're launching about eight to ten at a time. From the backs of trucks. From various locations in the general vicinity of Sadr City.

We wouldn't be having this problem if he was taken care of long ago when we had him and his goons cornered. This is a blunder that keeps on surfacing to remind us what a blunder that was.

Yes, we're hearing a lot of that, too, especially at night.

Welcome back...when did you return?

Aw, I've gotten out of this country during worse times than this. I'll get out. :-D

How are things over your way? Quiet?

Like church mice recently. Been a quiet week. I think they’re saving up. LOL

I've been here for over four years.

I tell them what to do.

Last summer, actually. I’ve been fob hopping during the RIP/TOAs, lurking FR when I had time. Done Basrah to Mosul and pretty much everywhere MND-B and N in between. Work’s been good and plentiful. On that note, JAM is in for a few surprises. It’s too bad they couldn’t resist the urge to be stupid, but they’ll wish they had. Sadr’s about to get a bucket of ice water in his face.

Has it quieted down any or still noisy?
