Excellent article k98, and so another piece of the puzzle falls into place.

I'd like to shake Kevin's hand. It's a breath of fresh air when men act like men. I would have titled the photo "Taking the trash out".

"I Can't Get No Satisfaction", I prefer Devo's version over the Rolling Stones!

I like the warcraft reference, funny stuff.

The clowns have yet to realize the economic impact that the departure of our troops will cause on their economy as well. Unfortunately it is the small business man that loses out.

Iraqi Government, KRG 'Agree' On Oil/Gas Bill Kurdish region Prime Minister Barham Salih November 11, 2011 BAGHDAD -- A senior Iraqi official says the Iraqi government and the Kurdish regional government (KRG) have reached a tentative agreement on a contentious oil and gas bill and other issues, RFE/RL's Radio Free Iraq reports. Adal Barwari, Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's adviser for Kurdish affairs, told RFE/RL on November 10 that the three committees formed by agreement during KRG Prime Minister Barham Salih's visit to Baghdad in late October completed their final reports on November 5. Barwari said they reached mutually acceptable solutions to the issues of oil; disputed territory, in particular oil-rich Kirkuk; and the status of the Kurdish "peshmerga" forces. Barwari said the reports from the three committees were submitted only to Maliki and Salih, and he was therefore unable to give details of the agreed-to compromises. Meanwhile, Salih, who met with U.S. Vice President Joe Biden in Washington on November 8, told reporters that a new draft of the oil and gas law -- which was a major bone of contention between Baghdad and the KRG -- had been agreed on and would be presented to parliament for approval by the end of the year. Salih declined to comment on the contents of the new draft legislation. Bahaa al-Din Ahmad, a member of parliament's Oil and Energy Committee, told RFE/RL the committee expected to receive the amended version of the oil and gas bill soon, since the Eid al-Adha holiday was over, and would be immediately passed on first reading. Din Ahmad said that more than 90 percent of the articles had already been agreed and the remaining disagreement mainly concerned the rights of the KRG to sign contracts with foreign oil companies. He added that the new draft neither undermined the powers of the central government nor undercut the rights of the KRG. The KRG rejected a draft law approved by the Iraqi cabinet in September and called for its withdrawal on the grounds that it would have given Baghdad the power to control the oil wealth at the expense of the autonomous region.

Hoo Ya Deep Sea!

Depends on what your tethering.

Diver tradition, the day I received my MK V pin I went back to the dorms, was summoned into a friends room, he was in 1st Class Dive School, he said "it's time". A few seconds later it was all done! No pain.

The bank is closed for four days for a holiday. Aqua brings up a good point, it's easy to get distracted with all of the smoke and mirrors. Stick the news, stay away from the opinions and rumors forums.

What was your friends last name? The diving community is small, I may have heard of him.

Hamid Alwan, what a coward. He found a weak minded woman and exploited her and her son. There will be a day of reckoning for this pathetic excuse of a human being.

"I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, then questions the manner in which I provide it." A Few Good Men "If you ladies leave my island, if you survive recruit training... you will be a weapon, you will be a minister of death, praying for war. But until that day you are pukes! You're the lowest form of life on Earth. You are not even human-fu*#ing-beings! You are nothing but unorganized grabasstic pieces of amphibian shiite! Because I am hard, you will not like me. But the more you hate me, the more you will learn: I am hard, but I am fair!" Full Metal Jacket "I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion of the means. I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. In my youth I traveled much, and I observed in different countries, that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer." Benjamin Franklin "Repeal that [welfare] law, and you will soon see a change in their manners. St. Monday and St. Tuesday, will soon cease to be holidays. Six days shalt thou labor, though one of the old commandments long treated as out of date, will again be looked upon as a respectable precept; industry will increase, and with it plenty among the lower people; their circumstances will mend, and more will be done for their happiness by inuring them to provide for themselves, than could be done by dividing all your estates among them." Benjamin Franklin

Question dinarbot. "Dinarbot has many times". Is this referring to IQD or fixing stylish doo?

You're missing a couple of things here. 1. The entire AG's office serves at the POTUS leisure, regardless of the political affiliation of the office. 2. In 1993, Janet Reno, under Bill Clinton, requested and received, the resignation of all 93 Attorney General's. The arrogance of the left cracks me up. It's always a tragedy and disenfranchisement when things don't go their way. But, when it comes to the defeat of a conservative idea or principle it's social justice. Back to the original intent of the topic. Republicans would, IMO, demand the same documents if the POTUS was a republican and was involved in the Solyndra scandal.

I'd never wrap fish with the LA rag and it's not fit for the bottom of a bird cage either.

To quote one of my CPO's...."they couldn't lead a pack of ants to a picnic"......... and my favorite........."they're more effed up than a soup sandwich".

Good one Markinsa!

Parlaiment wont be back from their "well deserved break" for three more weeks. That's when things will get exciting I hope.

Mods' can you check to see if this is "Newbies" IP address rings a bell.

If you havn't already, divide the IQD now between the group before the RV. Then everyone is responsible for their own cash in, and tax liability.

Michelle was probably complaining about the mountain of unsold books cluttering her closet, and told O to get rid of them.
