#1 Hey, there is something very strange about this article. I read most of what was being said already this morning from a totally different news source. NYT, I would not trust as far as I could spit on a lefty...
I can not remember the news source tho. Anybody else?

#2 Operation Iron Saber

Let's hope we can bunch them up in the shooting gallery.

#3 FoxNews later reported the Iraqi threw 5 grenades and, after being shot dead, documents on his person showed he was a paid employee of the CPA. I don't think they specified what his "occupation" was, but implied he was employed as a policeman or other security-related job.

Nice, huh?

#5 This has all the components for a great screwball comedy. There could be a scene where a Humvee chases a bunch of jihadis stuffed into a bumper car like the Keystone Kops.

And a scene where an Apache hovers near the Ferris wheel, taking potshots at some jihadis as they go round and round on the wheel.

Should I get an agent ?

#6 No Carl. It's not an agent you need. Drop by and visit sometime.

#7 Did we really 'lose control' of southern Iraq?

#8 It's true...I was there...looked like something out of Tampa Bay...(ship) and the grenade chunking security guard was a bad guy...pulling security for the other bad guys...
18 hours after I pulled my M1A1 tank into position...we blew the crap out of tons...TONS of weapons, bombs, etc. They love to hide stuff near the kids.
