So I was reading this response posted by NBB about evidence of WMD etc. and when I refreshed the page it was gone.

Was that information classified or what?

I bet Tom Osborne would know how to fight a war.

[Websman]

Yep. The ice cream gets me too, Bryer's Butterpecan to be specific....

My goal is a "lean and mean" 220 lbs.... I'll post a before/after picture in about October.... I'm currently @ 310 lbs.

I'm trying to lose 15 lbs before summer. Maybe I should post a before and after pic... I'm currently @162 lbs and my goal is 147 lbs.

Hey...I'm a small guy...

[Websman]

maybe we need another civil war. I bet the south would win this time.

Try running a marathon. I did it last year, and the training took me from @160 to my current weight of under 140.

Hey Webs, you went from 1.62 lbs. to 162 lbs. pretty fast. You're gaining weight, not losing it.

Hey Webs, you went from 1.62 lbs. to 162 lbs. pretty fast. You're gaining weight, not losing it.

well, that's one way to look at it. long-term you gotta go long on weight, though I doubt the next few decades will give the same kind of growth webs has seen over the past few. short-term, though, I'm going short on webs' weight. at least until summer, that is.

I weigh 173lbs...I would like to lose 1 lb.

I've always found the best way to lose weight is to stop eating.

Pretty effective strategy. What's the best way to stop eating? I've heard about some who had a chain wrapped right through their mouth. They could drink, but talking and eating were completely out.

Let's review: Saddam became our enemy when he was "partially" defeated in Gulf War I. Instead of an unconditional surrender, he was allowed to remain in power. He took the opportunity to sponsor terror organizations, including al Queda, and sought means to take revenge vs. the USA. Therefore, we had to fight Gulf War II.

What we are fighting now is a Saddam insurgency. This is akin to the Hitler Youth and SS and Gestapo that Hitler left behind in WW II. We fought an insurgency there until Dec 1946.

Don't forget. we're also fighting Iran, somebody that has been at war with us since that Whiz bang president Jimmah Carter didn't do crap about our hostages. Not to mention that Iran is behind Hezbollah<sp> that killed how many hundred of our Marines in Beruit? It is long past time for an Iranian Smackdown. Iran knows that they are under threat with our thousands of troops and Land Air bases that won't require any muddled negotiations to use to bomb them.

for the multi-culti PC crowd here, of which there seem to be quite a few.

In their culture if you pull your arm back to take a swing and you don't they look at you as weak. Sadam, hung all of his hopes on our Viet Nam experience in that we wouldn't do anything about his Kuwait invasion. Then he hung on that when we stopped Desert Storm. and let him be with numerous conditions. Conditions which he didn't meet. WHICH was reason enough to blast him. (the WMD was a nonissue) See first sentence above. You can't keep telling a dog NO, and never punishing the dog. All you'll have at the end of the day is a carpet covered in Crap.

This is about resolve and a test of wills. we have to show that we're going to go to the mat on this. The dog must be punished.

Also, how was WWII ended? lots of talking or serious asskicking? I"m just wondering what history books some of you people have read?

There is no disagreement that cannot be solved by force it talking won't work. Just listen to what Iran and Moqtada Al Sadr say. They are crapping on the carpet and it is time for them to be punished.

OH, and for the bumblers out there that want to say this is a religious thing, not at all like Japan and Germany. Well the Emperor<sp, dang that doesn't look right) was worshipped as a God. so the Japanese soldiers were every bit as whipped up religiously as the modern day islamic jihadi. Two Nuclear weapons, not talking, ended that.


Lastly, someplace I have a clipping that shows ALL of the people that were getting Oil-for_food bribes. The list is by country. care to venture a guess at which countries were on the take from Sadam?

Webby, you can easily do that. Just join weight watchers.

I did, I've lost over 36 pounds in the last probably 20 weeks. I didn't gain any weight over the holidays.

I'm focused on portion control and eating the right balance of things. I have anything I want. I have cut way back on some things, but all in all, I did it with the only suffering being while my stomach was shrinking. I simply was stuffing too much in.

Think about this. why are we sending a Patriot Missile Battalion from Ft. Bliss Texas? I might be wrong but the Patriots don’t help with RPG’s or IED’s. The Patriots were the hero’s during the first Gulf war. Iran has the Shihab-3 and it is a intermediate range missile that can hit a target 1400 kilometers. This system is integrated with a Chinese global positioning system and is pretty accurate.

I bet these Patriots are for Iran and should any escalation in this conflict spiral this can get ugly as I think Hezbollah engages Israel and the Mahdi Army confronts the United States.

After all Iran is seeking to dominate the region and this is very dangerous

Oh I forgot to mention this in case you missed it.

Last weekend, the Sunday Times of London reported that Israel is preparing a strike on the Iranian nuclear program at several bases scattered throughout the country. The paper claimed that the attack would be carried out with tactical nuclear “bunker busters’’ supplied by the United States. Israel quickly denied the report. But the story, which may be wrong in its details, has a certain truthiness. Israel is certainly thinking about how to stop Tehran from getting its hands on nukes.
