Drat! I have GOT to go to the grocery! I cannot fast till the end of the war, although there would be side benefits.

Delivery Pizza.

[sweetliberty]

LOL! This will doubtless be some kind of record fast grocery trip. LOL!

[debg]

speaking of groceries, mine are being delivered as i sit here. (they just called to confirm). i just love the online ordering and home delivery system my supermarket chain has!

[MEG33]

We didn't do this on purpose.It might give pause however to the Iranian radical martyr brigades!

[sweetliberty]

Did that yesterday. Not crazy about pizza though, unless its homemade.

[Fledermaus]

ack, I'm jealous! can they deliver beer?

[SoldiersGirl]

now you're just rubbing it in.
Lol
I fed my children pizza for breakfast
it covers all the food groups right?

[Fledermaus]

I was thinking we might be hitting terrorist camps there...eventually we'll have to!

[Mo1]

yep .. LOL

[debg]

yes! beer, wine....all to the kitchen counter top. delivery guy even puts on paper booties before he walks in.

I heard that Iran was not protesting because we are having communications with them about the war (diplo stuff). They likely want to see Saddamn out a whole lot. So as long as it isn't a big problem they won't gripe according to this TV head.

Well of course the difference in the width of the aircraft would make it harder to knock down, but deployed in a geometric pattern which would make it hard to breakthrough without making radical course changes in relatively short distances would get some of them, particularly when you know they're coming. It seems like fairly cheap defensive hardware, and you could change the pattern of deployment rapidly and randomly.

Of course the Navy could reprogram the missiles to gain altitude upon arrival and come straight down on the target. Oh well, they'd be decorative at any rate.

So does cake or pudding, or so my bairns used to argue. :-)

[Mo1]

Sure hope that's true .. we don't need problems with Iran at the moment

[Fledermaus]

Fox showing Iraqi video....clearly an old video.

[Semper Paratus]

I heard that Iran was not protesting because we are having communications with them about the war

More likely they're watching new TV show, "Everybody Loves Shock & Awe".

[Otta B Sleepin]

Right now they are showing war protestors

Oh man. For a split second when I first looked at your post, I thought it said they were "shooting" war protesters.

What a letdown.

[prairiebreeze]

Too bad the French aren't in this campaign. Bad smells would be right up their alley! Prolly wouldn't phase them a bit!! :^D

I just feel like bashing French today. They are having the arrogance to talk to the UN about trying to keep US and Brits out of the reconstruction part. More Treachery!!

I wonder why we sent a letter of apology to them through the Swiss instead of sending it directly.
