Chuckie would give a great military interview. Just let one of those dopey reporters ask a typically stupid question and Chuckie would give them "the look."

The best thing about this story is that it's another bright and shiny object that will distract the media for at least a day, and save them from speculating about quagmires.

The most fun I ever had at a beach was walking waist deep in water and the dolphins farther offshore keeping a curiosity driven pace. I got a dreadful sunburn! Love those dolphins! Dolphins are like dogs - they are very social animals and love being around humans. In SoCal, they just love to surf and hang around with the surfers. On almost any day of the week, you'll see pods of them jumping into the air and body surfing at Huntington Beach. When a swell is running and there are lots of surfers out (like today), they love to cruise right through the line-up. Sometimes you can almost reach over and give them a pet as they swim by.

I bet the dolphins love doing this. While training an animal to do something like this, any trainer will tell you that it is very important that you make this 'work' fun for the animal - like a game.

Actually, using dolphins for underwater operations are not new. We started this concept as far back as the '60s.

so how do the iraqis kill them- mass netting? Don't you suppose that Iraqi boats putting out nets might be noticed?
