Ha, so why doesn't he return my calls?

Seriously, NBC interviewed a two star in Biloxi a few minutes back and reported 7,500, maybe two brigades total Reserve guys in the area or headed in.

I'm guessing this will end up a multi-division effort.

Once this take over occurs, I wonder if looters will be shot? that would be a hard task to put on our troops. Shooting the terrorists in the mideast in one thing.. but their fellow citizens (yes, deprived etc).. is another.

Hopefully the looters will come to their senses
