Perhaps you are aware that Werner Von Braun told his PhD assistant near his death the war(s) with Iraq; world wide terrorism; terror of UFO's and WWIII were all planned by the [powers that be--puppet masters] back in

1970.

Given the road maps I saw in my archive work at the university library Special Collections dept in 1966; and watching since then the nearly flawless enactments of those plans; reading of Von Braun's quote; watching the daily news . . .

Considering Biblical AND Bible Code affirmations of similar to precisely the same things . . .

It does give one plenty to pray about . . . and prepare for.

. . . . the control of your screen--errr--tinfoil hat will now be returned to you . . .

Do the oil companies know something other than price gouging?

Given the makeup of the Bubba-2 White House,the RNC,and the DNC,I'd say that is a pretty safe bet to make. Even beyond "looking out for your bud you are in bidnez wid",there is the fact that the gooberment HAS to be trying to contract with oil field workers now to make sure they are ready to go and try to put the oil well fires out. That's a pretty narrow specialized field,and the feds will have to choice but to sign contracts with them and lay down some heavy hints about when they will be needed.

When the Kitty Hawk goes, we know we are beginning to ramp up for NK.

I can only ask: would Hillary approve of this? If she doesn't agree with GWB's actions, then whatever will we do?

Oil well fire fighters are their own special breed. I had the honor of meeting Red Adair many years ago. John Wayne played him in "Hellfighters", a very well named movie. When I worked for a seismograph firm in Eastern Montana and Western North Dakota we had an artesian well we could not plug. The water was contaminated with arsenic and other heavy metals from coal seams and there was a danger to livestock if they drank from it. Just the problem from this little well was almost overwhelming, I would hate to see what a fire was like.

I agree. It is important for all of us to speak out against Hitlery whereever we can...with total strangers on the groceryline or at the carwash. She must be verbally condemned by the vox populi.

This too is part of the global war we are in. Whenever we can, if the conversation touches on the war and the good men and women placing their lives on the line for us, we have to point to the Clinton regime as the culprit to much of the current problems and the people around us need to be educated about the socialist creep going on here...and it has to be a grassroots effort if it is to succeed.

If someone doesn't agree our view of Hitlery...we need to shame them verbally...they won't expect that and it will have an effect if it snowballs. She must be seen in the same light as PeeWee Herman by the nation if we are to defang her.

"It's the timing..the proximity of the start the Iraqi waer with the NK eruption."

Not to mention the Venuzuela-Cuba-Al Quaeda mix heating up.

Doesn't that new moon/daylight configuration give us an extended window of opportunity?

Good question, but you're not going to like the answer. The moon doesn't quite operate on a 24-hour cycle like the sun as both moonrise and moonset gets later each day. At least for the next couple of months, as the moon approaches full, it will be up all night.

That cycle also doesn't quite align itself with the clock either, as the last new moon of 2003 (December 4) is above the horizon at night, while the light last full moon of 2003 (December 19) is wasted on the daytime.

Yep, I was predicting an attack on Iraq by the end of January. Maybe it will be sooner.

Any assumptions about NK have to include the sanity, or lack of, of Dear Leader, and rest of the gang....it is debatable...Also, if, as appears likely, NK has one nuke, they could use it on the US troops at5 the DMZ, or lob it into Seoul.....alternative theory...if, IF PRC wants to move on Taiwan, what better time than when the US in engaged in Iraq?...so, how much, if any influence does the PRC have on NK?...Go figure..

The thing I need to know is this: we'll be using four battlegroups to take down the Iraqis. How many carrier groups does that leave in the Pacific?

After Pearl Harbor, we were down to the Yorktown and the Enterprise battlegroups. The Saratoga took a torpedo near Hawaii and had to go into drydock for a while for repairs (you could do that with the old carriers: they were basically cruisers with a metal plate on top...). Needless to say, Yamamato and Nagumo went apesh*t for six months until checked at Midway.

The question is, with most of our front line guys handling Iraq, how many carriers would we have to handle a Korean contingency and give us time to get the 25th Division and the ThirdMarDiv to Pusan?

Be Seeing You,

Chris

It scares me to death <VBG>. Seriously, the fact that I can find the specifics behind the hunch is actually reassuring.

Close enough (I'll leave it to you which of the "close enough" items applies - horeshoes, hand grenades, thermonuclear weapons).

I would think there is some back-room discussion with China while all this is going on. It's too close to home for them to not get nervous about the entire process, and it would be in their best interest to keep North Korea under some kind of wraps.

There is at least 1 Marine division (17,000) stationed on Okinawa. And the AF has a large composite fighter wing at Kadena.

WHATEVER WILL WE DO???????

Oh, . . . my . . . welllll . . .

PRAISE GOD VIGOROUSLY WITH HANDS RAISED AND A BLACK PENTECOSTAL JERICO MARCH ALL AROUND THE CITY WITH A BRASS BAND?

Lead a Snoopy dance down Broadway?

Cheer loudly enough to scare the Commies?

In utter gratitude to her treasonous idiocy--uhhh--dump a truck load of rotten rasberries on her doorstep? A container full of whoopie cushions dropped off at her Senat office one by one within the space of 48 hours? Carefully gift wrapped in commie red a dry horse biscuit from about 50 million Patriotic Americans?

IF SKULLERY IS AGIN IT, IT MUST BE WONDERFUL.

I give up. What do you suggest?

Rummy is actually wrong on this. We'd be fighting on THREE fronts if you count Afghanistan.
