There is absolutely no reason to conclude there is any offensive

[Joe for Clark]

going forward.

Therefore, I believe there is.(what is that - Patton in Dec of 1944??)

It is in the north - there is no other place it can happen!! In fact you can get pretty specific - where the money is - just south of Kirkuk - on the east side of the country. Clock is going tick, tick tick.

That is where they went for god's sake.

I am surprised and relieved it it didn't blow just yet - I am.

But this is like watching Mt St Helens right before it blew - It was going to blow - question was when.

The differnce is - we don't have to stick our kids X miles down stream - isn't it??

This was never our fight - People that say different - well, they can surely enlist.

But they won't. It makes them cowards - And cowards don't get to vote in this one - or any other war for that matter. Hell of a lot braver to stand your principles. This country depends on people standing up for what they believe. It is our blood.

1. I brought some maps..

sometimes they help, this time not so much...

[leftchick]

3. damn! Look at all of those US Airbases!

you would think there was OIL there.

[stillcool]

5. sorry....

I think I'm being rude.

[shireen]

2. is that the oil-rich area?

it's all so sick.

how's your kid holding up, Joe? How 'bout you?

[Joe for Clark]

4. If you look at the today in iraq map - which you have to hit a key

(and you get redirected) they have a pretty good map of the oil infrastructure.

It is well done. Nice job.

You can look at it and in about 15 seconds get a very good idea where the money is. ANd therefore - where the fight is coming.

My kid - this was a very bad month - very bad.

I kind of had a big mouth - well, not kind of - I had a big mouth with the rear command -

SO please excuse me from saying more until about Halloween. I know you understand.

9. Where is the "today in iraq map"?

What website?

[stillcool]

6. hey Joe...

I was going to post a few more maps, but did not want to do so without asking you first. They really aren't related though..pipelines, Iran nuclear facilities, and U.s. bases around the world. If you want to look at any or all I'll re-post.

7. I believe you just don't say things that can hurt kids in the field -

They are already screwed and they know it -

Don't post anything that jeopardizes an operation - and that is pretty hard to do from the US.

Don't do the "Geraldo" - you know - give away a position of our kids in real time. He did that, he really did - dumb bastard. It was treason - really was.

And since you can't do the "Geraldo" -anything you can post can be helpful.

This has to end right now - it is imperative.

Just don't post exactly where X unit of X division is in real time.

That is the limit you don't go over.

That is the only rule - more than that is just BS. Post what you know.
