Good afternoon, Poetgal, Mom of Quentin....glad you are finally doing better.
Good afternoon/evening, Arrowhead...glad there is some breakfast left over. The week is almost over, finally.
Definitely positive. He’s going to school at ITT Tech and teaching a grade-school Sunday School class - this is the kind of thing that makes him all warm and fuzzy.
Sounds like you will have a busy one tomorrow.
My day has gone well....I haven’t gotten much done that I need to get done, but a bunch of little questions have been researched and answered. Tomorrow should be more quiet, and I hope to get my matching done. (I can always take it home and finish.)
Thank you for the information warsaw44 . . . FR is blessed with the quality of our posters.
re: 361
You guys get smoke from Russia & sand from the Gobi Desert?
But that’s so very far away! How is that possible?
Man!
Hi all
great post
Cool! It is geared to the IT crowd.
Congratulations.. I’m so very happy for you.
Carter's first fatal mistake. His second was not to recognize that the 1979 assault on the U.S. Embassy in Tehran was an act of war under international law; for it was a violent invasion conducted by organized Iranian nationals of U.S. sovereign territory, whose "government" pretended to look the other way.... [i.e., did not lift a finger to restore our people to us. Can we call this: orchestrated collusion between the "official" government and the government's hand-picked and trained "insurgents," under cover of plausible deniability??? The doctrine of asymmetrical warfare was born right there, or at the very least had its first debut in specifically Islamofascist form....].
Carter the pompous, faux-pious jerk that he is, thought that his duty was to mount a "rescue mission," when what the circumstances called for, what was truly needed, was an offical declaration of war. Then just go execute same, and get it over with. Had Carter done this, we wouldn't be worrying about Iranian nukes today.
Iran (de facto if not de jure) declared war on us, back in 1979. They are laughing at us today because we acted then, and continue to act, as if we didn't realize that. They think we are weak, not as bright as they are, and cowardly, supine in the face of threats. This understanding of theirs continues to encourage, to embolden them to this day.
I think they're wrong about that. But they -- the deranged mullahs who run that place -- don't know it. YET.
I'll never forget that morning when my clock radio alarm went off at the appointed hour, and the first conscious experience I had that day was to hear the horrific news of the fate of Desert One. My heart nearly broke right there.
RaceBannon, from my heart thank you for posting this. And May God ever bless you for your faithful service to our country.
On the otherhand Sun Tsu (Art of War) said appear weak when you are strong and appear strong when you are weak..
In that sense Carter makes us appear weak..
When our military is the strongest its ever been..
Not in numbers but in ability..
Carter is giving the "foreign" enemy erroneous data..
Thanks for the link and sorry for the delay getting back to you. I just spent yet another hour reading over at your site. I will spend much more time there I can tell. I commend your hard work and thank you. I will send a link to your site to my son in Iraq as I am sure he will find it of great interest (for those moments he’s not ‘out and about in his tank’ in Sadr City)
