WE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA... ...ARE GOING TO KICK YOUR A$$!!!
So states a sign at the entrace to Camp Justice, the Marine base located approximately 100 miles outside of Kandahar, the last remaining stronghold of the Talibums in Afgoneistan.

Well, the lighting of the Christmas, er - Holiday, tree took place yesterday in Kensington. Despite the wishes of the city council, hundreds of Santa Clauses showed up, and one did, in fact, ride in on a fire truck - as had been done in years past. No comment was forthcoming from the chair of the council.
Secretary Rumsfeld has a message for the remaining defenders of the Talibums in Afgoneistan. It is very simple; sufficiently so that I think they should understand: Surrender, or die. There are reports the remaining enemy elements in Kandahar are considering defying the Mullah and are contemplating surrender.
For AMERICA - The Right Way, I remain yours in the Cause, the Chairman.
One thing that really has worried us is that GrandBoy was going through that ... wanting a band-aid for every little thing ..... making a big deal of every boo-boo. Then one Sunday evening he came home from a visit with The Jerk and had marks on his arm .... but wouldn't talk about it at all ...... :-(
..... there have been too many of that type of incident .... but nothing provable ..... :-(
..... hmmmmm .... wonder if we could persuade The Jerk to join the Taliban?
It's the details that the author accumulated, and the moment by moment account that puts you right there that is so fascinating....
Will get back to you, unless UG does first...
...I can never watch that newsreel where our boys are dragged through the streets....
I might read the book....don't know if I can watch the movie.
Well, I'm closing down for the night :)
Stay well!!
Actually, that subject is open for discussion .....
My original intent was to create a ping list of all the regular posters since we can now post to an unlimited number of people at one time now. Then when I wanted to post something to everyone, I could truly do that. And I wanted to share it with everybody in case others wanted to copy it and keep it for the same purpose.
..... it would be useful not only for pinging people to this thread but to others, also.
But it has grown much beyond that concept. Based on the response to it, I'm beginning to think it would be a good idea to use it at least once on each day's ATRW thread so that everyone on the list will be able to find the thread easily.
In fact I've been thinking of suggesting to Chairman that he use it when he starts the thread since y'all are frequently on the second page of posts before I even have a chance to check in.
I do not consider it my list but ours .... so the use of it is very much open to group discussion.
How is your wrist feeling now that the stitches are out? I guess that has been over-shadowed by your feeling bad the last few days. Hope you're back to normal soon .... *hugs*
Sounds like you are definitely a busy bee with work. Me too although a December break is within reach in a few more weeks. I'm all consumed these days with a battle about doing the pledge as part of morning announcements at the elementary school where I teach. I got it started soon after 9/11 as a tribute to the innocents murdered that day. Now, it's a great tribute to our soldiers in the air, on land and at sea! Not to mention the fact that it's just a great way to show some respect and patriotism for our country no matter what the circumstances. Sadly, some of my mind-numbed, liberal-biased colleagues don't see it that way. We are in a real fight to the finish as I'm not backing down on this one at all and they're pretty use to getting their way with the usually liberal, spineless administration. We will actually vote on the matter this week after three months of nonsense....I'm pretty excited because the other side is going to get thrashed in the vote. They deserve all that and more. Can't wait for it to be official. Then, we'll continue doing the pledge loud and proud and those who were being jerks about it will have been exposed for what they are---liberal a#@holes. I'm positively gleeful about the prospects!!
Hope that wasn't too much information but it feels good to gloat in advance!!
Using it at least once a day would be very helpful!
The wrist is healing, and I'm trying to do the exercises!:-) Still a little stiff...
Hugs to you too!
