#1 Ryan Crocker is a sharp guy, worked with him and his RSO (Regional Security Officer)on some security issues back in '96 when he was the Ambassador of the American Embassy in Kuwait. He definitely knew his shit about the Arab Psyche/MO, if you don't know Arab Diplomacy in a job like that you get eaten up right quick. Sorry about the protracted absence R-Burgers, Rantburg has been banned from my work computer under the "No Chat" rule.

#4 Right. This isn't chat, its analysis and perspective. With some utterly gratuitous snarkiness and .com's sometimes-safe-for-work visuals.

#7 Anyway, if you use a copper condenser you're in good shape, just let the first days run roll down the hill.

Oh... Crocker.... never mind.

#8 .com, you are a wicked darling! Yes, I did see your pictures... they were for me? I didn't realize, even as I enjoyed the slightly salacious silliness. Despite all my efforts, I don't have the technical ability to be a geek myself, but at least I can appreciate. That's part ot the fun of being married to an engineer, and having many as friends. ;-)
