The Daily Telegraph has this report of a British officer speaking to his troops. Here's an extract: "We go to liberate not to conquer. We will not fly our flags in their country. We are entering Iraq to free a people and the only flag which will be flown in that ancient land is their own. Show respect for them. There are some who are alive at this moment who will not be alive shortly. Those who do not wish to go on that journey, we will not send. As for the others I expect you to rock their world. Wipe them out if that is what they choose. But if you are ferocious in battle remember to be magnanimous in victory. If someone surrenders, ensure that one day they go home to their family. The ones who wish to fight, well, we aim to please...As for ourselves, let's bring everyone home and leave Iraq a better place for us having been there. Our business now is north."

Sounds familiar. We were all very seriously concerned about EMP in the mid'70s, I even knew people who maintained kits of shielded vacuum tube back-up electronics, unassembled.

Is it hard to get setup? Just click on it. I'm on a t1 and the picture quality isn't great but it will do. Mine opens in media player.

Thanks, but I'll be keeping the Major on a well-deserved vacation for the balance of the war on the live threads.
Be Seeing You,

I really doubt Iraq has the capability of hitting a cruise missle coming in
