"You might want water purification tablets and potasium iodide tablets (KU)"

I've had excellent results with this place, Potassium Iodide

[airborne]

we should be giving arms to Ethiopia...lots of them and letting them clean up their backyard

Air support would suffice, and we wouldn't have to worry about the arms turning up being used against us.

KI, and yes, I have a bottle of tablets. A one letter typo, or you were remembering the U in KI4U.com

I've got a pretty good amount of water on-site, two barrels, 110 gallons, plus usually a case or two of bottled water. Could go a month or so, in a pinch. I need to get a Katadyne type purification filter. And a little more bleach and some purification tablets.

[airborne]

Yeah, I meant KI.

I went and fetched the box to look.

KI4U is where I bought them.

[airborne]

Looks like a lot of Freepers are prepared.

I doubt the DUmmies will fare as well.

How about we send back the 70,000 rabble-rousing Somali creeps that Clinton allowed into this country, and let them fight this battle? They can take a break from filing civil rights lawsuits and refusing taxi passengers who carry alcohol, and other wonderful contributions they are making to this nation.

[Spottys Spurs]

I agree! That place is run by war lords. This is the same place that desecrated captured troops. They are animals!

"Modern and very powerful munitions falling from 30,000 feet would be helpful....and overdue."

Several passes from "puff the magic dragon, too!

[montag813]

Does anyone remember 9-11?

The Bush Doctrine has been forgotten. It will take a large, worse attack for this nation to finally get serious.

[Spruce]

I bet we have potent assets all over the Horn of Africa. Just not anything we civilians will ever know about for a few years .

"Looks like a lot of Freepers are prepared. "

Yup. All my brothers and sisters (4) and their children are getting a two weeks supply (stocking stuffers) of Potassium Iodide from me this Christmas.

[airborne]

Santa is wearing a red chem suit this year! Ho, ho, ho!

"Puff the Magic Dragon"

I wonder how many folks will think of Peter, Paul and Mary - as opposed to those of us that will think of "Lead Rain of Salvation"?

Semper Fi

[I see my hands]

"It will take a large, worse attack for this nation to finally get serious"

Not so. That is not the path before us. Too many are sick. Political parties and facts are now meaningless. From now on it's every man for himself.

[Arkinsaw]

Nonsense. al Qaida has no wish for outright governance. They simply need a safe haven from which to operate and attack us. Take Afghanistan for example. It was the Taliban, not al Qaida, that ruled that nation. They simply provided Osama and his organization a free hand to plan terror. The situaiton in Somalia seems similar. Hence why that area needs to be "fumigated." But ZERO NONE ZIP NADA plans of nation building.

That's funny since Osama bin Laden himself has called for restoration of the Caliphate and we remember the Taliban posing as a lawful government.

You think they do not want to govern? Yes, they want to govern the Caliphate.
