#3 That is certainly unprecedented. Any news about lions and lambs lying together without anyone being nibbled upon?

#7 Maky years ago a friend said something that certainly fits here, He said" My mind is like a large Swiss Cheese, it's the right size, shape and weight, but there's holes here and there, and every now and then something falls into one of those holes, and it's GONE.

#8 Yeah, RJ, you probably meant Iran and not Iraq in the second go-round too.

But we knew who ya' meant.

#9 I can't remember who said it but it was a great quote: "Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most."

#10 "denied the plans" = BS
to point out there was an entire program on the bbc about a year ago on how the Isreali air force did it last time and on that program they talked about how the plans are constantly being updated.

#11 Er! May I have a small time-out on Fred's bandwidth to introduce my son Devilstoenail, aka Tomas. Be kind.

Thanks!

#12 Welcome, devilstoenail! Always glad when an intelligent newcomer pops up... and we do like your father. :-)

rhodesiafever dear, did you say, "Hey! You gotta see this!", or did he look over your shoulder like trailing daughter #1 does sometimes, just before she takes over the mouse... and then somehow my chair? ;-)

#13 TW I think you'll find I have returned to the arms of my innocent mother. who is safe;y in the other room.
Nice intro dad... very nice
P.S. Try placing pins on the chair, she won't sit on it for long!

#14 Alas, I only have the dog to read Rantburg with. She keeps pawing my shoulder wanting to play tug-o-war, though.

#16 Lol, TW. And thank you.

Bandwidth open.

Back on topic: As Tomas observed, plans always being updated, this is the final "tweaking" stage.

Just need to "tweak" them Turkish mo-fo's. Have I said too much?

#17 P.S. Try placing pins on the chair, she won't sit on it for long!

But then neither would I! A conundrum, that one is.

#18 Turkey will not repeat the mistake it made in 2003, when it refused to open its airspace to U.S. Air Force overflights en route to attacking Iraq.

In what sense was it a mistake for Turkey? It is difficult to think of any particular price they have paid for their insolence.

#19 Though I agree with you, Ex, I also think that if Bush did exact a p[rice he would do so quietly. But I doubt he did.

#20 That report is laughable. Notwithstanding what it is the Ayaterror republic could do serious damage to Qatar and Oman. They will be neutal in public, while privately supporting attacks on the Shiite tyranny. About half of the south Persian Gulf coast area has a majority Arab Shiite population. Shiites need to be disempowered; then we go after the Sunnis.

#21 Welcome Thomas (my grandson's name too)Prepare to have your mind expanded considerably.

#22 prepare to have your mind expanded

I used to do that religiously during my teen years.

Thomas, my advice to you is, do not admit that you've expanded your mind on a website that your father visits. ;-)

#23 EGYPT is in trouble becuz Radical Iran wants to be THE regional superpower and sole source of Muslim Islamist thought, power and divine interpretation - Cairo, Mecca, Damascus, and Instanbul, etc are all in Iran's sights.
