Almost sounds like he is afraid that you'll go away too. Do you know the date when dad will be home? If you do maybe you could get out a calendar and count the days away. It might help to see that it is getting closer and 'later' has a set time to it. Or not, I'm not a parent... </T
I finally checked out your blog on a link from greywar. I'm disappointed to see that you don't seem to be updating any more, although I'll be going through to read all your old articles in whatever spare time I have soon. I wonder, though, why did you quit? Was it the lack of comments or readership? Was it simply not satisfying to you? If you wished to drum up readership, more descriptive titles might have done the trick. The content cert
You're making me blush. So, are you okay with me linking to you then? Looks like it... lemme update.
ARMOR GEDDON - I was directed to this site through Citizen Smash, and while I haven't had a chance to read a lot of it, the author's description of ground combat and chasing insurgents in Iraq was riveting in the article I did read. CBFTW - For all intents and purposes, CB is no longer updating his site. A soldier with a Stryker Brigade operating out of Mo

You are more than welcome to read / comment on my blog I'll check it out! Glad I could help.
Got my threads crossed. There's another topic laying around where someone pointed out how much he drinks, and how much of his brain it must have killed (I think estimates were around 243%). By no means would I call him stupid for convincing you to marry him. Smartest thing he ever did, IMO.
When detecting a site that may be DU contaminated (usually a vehicle with a large hole in it, with some white-ish powder laying around the penetration point), soldiers are taught to call to higher, and will usually skirt around the site. If they must enter the site (administer first aid/evac wounded, retrieve something there, other mission essential task), they will don their chemical protective masks and gloves. As you stated, this isn't b
daehaksang - I don't mind you showing up here at all. It's been awhile since we've talked (I guess since your going away party at that Mexican restaurant?). Were you talking about dual Iraqi-US citizenship and the recent Iraq elections? From what I can see from news reports on the web, dual citizenship had been outlawed by Saddam. However, once his regime was toppled, the new interim government opened it up to any Iraqis. The stipulati
But one other thing about the Iraqi election that is truly remarkable is that it was all on foot! In addition to all the intimidating factors, they had to walk, sometimes many miles, to the polls since cars were banned from the street. Mostly, the Iraqis had to walk, yes. In some instances, buses and o
But that 72% is just too good, right? I mean 60% would still be good -- although the mutterings of lowers estimates have cropped up. Of course, I don't expect either article to revise their first word. It isn't someting conservatives know how to do. I still can't find on CNN where they have backe
I'm shocked. Dismayed... So, you know the answer? I fear I may be kicking myself when this is all said and done...
I married him didnt I? Duh. And there it is. The tell-tale "Duh." (Now I've confused myself: Okay, she 's blind, he 's stupid... right.)
You know plenty, girl.
Again, to support Draginol in this, not only is the statistic from a CNN article, they have it not only front-paged, but it's their lead article. I suppose Myrrander has written them an indignant response calling them irresponsible about their misleading information, and demanding that they update the statistic...
I've been letting it ruminate since you posted it... but no dice. *sigh*
It wasn't so much about feeling neglected. But, since you brought it up, don't you feel that it slights ELINT more than COMINT? I mean, at least he was talking about listening to a person , not some sort of beeping...
Oh, c'mon, use that brain like I know you can and draw the parallel between WoW and some of the other computer games you DO play. Well, he did say he was 20% dumber...
You're not out of shape, honey..... Clearly, you fed her some moonshine or some such, and she's blind now. Way to go, jerk.
I was elated to hear how well things were going when I got in to work this morning. I know that we 've been doing our best to help out, in the tangential ways that we can, and I'm proud of you and your unit for doing your part as well. Take care, Wanderer. Happy election day.
Thank you all for your comments. Island Dog - I was very encouraged to hear the number they were tossing around earlier. I'm a little disappointed to hear the estimate dropping, but I'm still confident that it will be more than satisfactory. Additionally, I will damn well post a poll from anywhere that I want to. (I was hoping the Arabic language poll would match, but this was fine.) Posting that poll points to the pessimism of the average
Down to 60% according to the BBC, you might want to check your facts in the morning. But I doubt you'll print a correction, that 72 looks so yummy. We weren't all hoping these elections would be bad. Hell, good turnout means we can possibly end this farce of a war. But your figure is already misleading, and y
I wrote a response to this, but felt it was a bit too long for the comments section. It is posted on my blog, here: Link If you feel that this would be more appropriate here, I will hide it on my site and repost it here in place of this comment.
I found a few things interesting about this Link recent article: 1. This is the first time that I've noticed the sub-title from the blog doesn't come over to the Forums post. This article's sub-title is, "America Looks for a way out but cant find the escape hatch". This idea is supported
