Afternoon GailA. It's always good to see the patriotic graphics you bring.

No Bull, this is a true story...

A co-worker of mine was detailed as the SF liaison to the Syrian Brigade during DS/DS. While we were destroying vehicles (and troops) along the Highway of Death at the end of the ground war, the Syrian Brigadier turned to Cpt. Xxx and said, "Captain Xxx, you stay here, we be back in hour or two." My friend asked the Brigadier where he was going, and he answered, "Cpt Xxx, you no worry, we go to Baghdad and get Saddam Hussein, you stay right here, ok?"

Well, Cpt. Xxx tried several times to talk the Brigadier out of doing that, and in the end, held a .45 to the Brigadier's head to keep him from going to Baghdad to get Hussein...I still ask him why he didn't let the Syrians go and finish the job. His answer is always the same..."I had my orders."

[MistyCA]

Wow! Where on earth have you been to find that beautiful graphic??? I love it! HOpe you are having a great day!

[MistyCA]

Terrific picture, Sam!

[MistyCA]

I am not at all surprised, Jinx. Of course, we were led to believe that the reason for not getting Saddam was because there was no mandate for it. While that could be true, you really have to wonder.

[HiJinx]

He always said he stopped the Brigadier because the UN resolutions didn't allow us to go that far...

But yes, I do sometimes wonder. Where would Scott Speicher be now if we had eliminated Hussein 12 years ago?

[MistyCA]

Hey! You are spending too much time behind those dimensional doors!

[Darksheare]

I seem to remember popping through one to get here in teh first place..
*Scratches head*
What's up with your gif? It seems to be either blushing or attempting to burst into flames.

[MistyCA]

Whoa!

[Darksheare]

Now where are you going?
Can I go too? };-)

[Darksheare]

Well, for one thing, we wouldn't have to stomp Iraq flat again if we'd fragged Sodom Hussien.
As for Scott... *Shrugs*

[MistyCA]

It's those dimensions! I don't think I can handle those dimensional doors! LOL!

[Darksheare]

"I want the truth.!"
"You can't handle the truth!"
I dunno, I went through there and I'm perfectly okay.......


*Funny stares*
