You're right. But none of that has any military or strategic significance.

Only have dial-up available here, so I'm stuck with CBS webcam.

Either or both of the first two still make them #3. I don't believe mens rae applies here (or really anywhere, for that matter).

[Tree of Liberty]

True

CNN radio:

"Iraqi prisoners are reporting that many of their comrades want to run away but they are unable to because of the government execution squads - their words, not mine - which are in every unit."

Other than Fox, none of the news media seem able to appreciate that these death squads Rummy et al have been trumpeting are real. For the reporter to believe he had to say "their words, not mine" is so telling as to their lack of acceptance of the truth. Well, at least they are feeling forced to report it...

Wasn't there a story that they booed loudly?

Goodnight from the right coast. I need my Dhuety sleep. It's on yall's watch now. I'm dreaming about... You fill it in.

[EternalVigilance]

It's obvious that these people are terrorized. I feel bad for every conscripted soldier that has to die because of these animals. I wish the rank and file could find the courage and/or the means to turn on them all at once.

[Tree of Liberty]

LOL, 'nite AC.

[EternalVigilance]

That's an amazing shot. Looks so much like a normal day in the city, it's weird.

That was a hockey game in (French speaking) Montreal. Baseball just started yesterday.

[Tree of Liberty]

You're right. Thanks for the clarification.

My sister-in-law has been referring to Husseins progeny as Yahoo and Ebay!

Who is that sitting on the porch on Bagcam?

We have an engineer at my lab here who worked on the radar for the Patriot. As of two or three years ago, he swore up and down, Patriots would never, never work, and that the "hit a bullet with a bullet" concept was bunk. I kept saying, "Gerry, how can you possibly say that! Computer technology is at least ten times more advanced than it was ten years ago when you were involved." (to say nothing about the rest of the tech involved..) He never gave an inch, or even conceded some possibliity even after the successful ABM tests we have had.

A couple days ago, I caught him at break time with a bunch of guys and said (very diplomatically - unusual for me) "Thanks for your work on the Patriot. They have been working remarkably - I don't think they have missed even once! I know you feel you did little work for the present system, but thanks for the little work you did." Wow! - did I get an earful! He is suddenly proud of the work he did --- I was also diplomatic enough not to point out (with all that croud around us) how gloomy his assessment of those systems had been only a few months before.

You could hear the crowd gathering in Baghadilly Circus there chanting some slogans a few minutes ago.

[Tree of Liberty]

Very interesting. Thank him for me, too.
