HAVING BEEN INVOLVED INTIMATELY WITH A WAR, I CAN SAY WITH SOME AUTHORITY NO IT WAS NOT WORTH IT. IT NEVER IS. BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY THAN JUST MY OPINION, PERHAPS WE SHOULD ADDRESS THAT QUESTION TO THE THOUSANDS OF INJURED SERVICE PEOPLE...OR THE FAMILIES OF THOSE KILLED TRYING TO NOT PROTECT AMERICAN INTERESTS BUT TRYING TO PROTECT ( UNKNOWINGLY) THE MONEY A FEW PEOPLE MAKE. WAR IS ALWAYS BIG BUSINESS...SUPPOSEDLY IT STIMULATES THE ECONOMY, PUTS PEOPLE BACK TO WORK AND DECREASES THE EXCESS POPULATION. WELL, AGAIN, MAYBE WE SHOULD ASK THE FAMILIES OF THOSE KIA'S HOW IT FEELS TO KNOW THEIR LOVED ONE WAS "AN EXCESS POPULATION"? OR PERHAPS THE ONES WITH NO LEGS, OR ARMS, OR FACES OR MINDS WHETHER IT WAS WORTH IT TO ENRICH SOME ALREADY RICH BEYOND BELIEF ******* WHO CAN'T EVEN BE BOTHERED SAYING THANK YOU, OR I'M SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS, HOW CAN I HELP YOU AND YOUR FAMILY? WAR IS ABOUT MONEY FOLKS...IT ISN'T ABOUT RELIGION, OR FREEDOMS OR ANYTHING ELSE. IT IS ABOUT MONEY AND THAT TRANSLATES TO POWER AND THAT IS WHAT IS ALL ABOUT. WE DIDN'T GO THERE FOR WMD'S! WE WENT THERE TO TRY AND KEEP OUR THUMB ON THE OIL, WHICH TRANSLATES TO MONEY WHICH TRANSLATES TO POWER, WHICH TRANSLATES TO MANIPULATING WORLD ECONOMIES! GREED! COULD YOU SET A VALUE ON YOUR LEG? HOW ABOUT YOUR ARM, OR HANDS? OR YOUR MIND? BELIEVE ME, THE POWERS THAT BE IN THE WORLD DO, AND WHATEVER FIGURES THEY ARRIVE AT ARE DEEMED ACCEPTABLE. ACCEPTABLE LOSES!

Oh yeah...shotgunsusie, clay, davedinar and a few other now infamous characters who have reborn themselves into others... british bull dog, english bob

yeah, whatever happened to adster?? I used to email back and forth with him pretty regular when I was in Iraq, but he kind of fell off the planet?

I don't give a crap who brought it...but please God...just let it be so!

The reference made to the camel caravan being slow made me think of something I heard some time ago about dog sledding...if you're not the lead camel, the view is always the same and not that nice...!

And I'll take " Whatever happened to shotgunsusie, and who was she anyway?" for a thousand.

Don't forget Rocket. J. Squirrel! and Bullwinkle!

Good morning Adam. I have question which may have already been answered earlier...do not know, but here goes anyway: When cashing in, will it be necessary to show ID to do so? When I exchanged currencies in Dubai, and Mexico both I never had to show ID. If we cash in a relatively small amount, will it be necessary? If not, I would think that would alleviate a lot of concerns concerning IRS notification, taxes, etc. Thanks.

As per usual, a lot of words that do not really make any sense and say nothing of substance. Still not sure exactly what the good deed is that he says he did...

Not sure what to tell you, but ANY bank would handle them if it meant they would make money doing it. They would be idiots NOT to. And many of them that say now or have said on the past that they do not or will not will probably change their tune when this r/v happens!

Interesting. So, what does this actually mean for us?

Thought you might like this Sarge! lol

Been thinking about this r/v, and here is my recipe for r/v dinner. 1. 1 Marine sniper 2. Ghillie suit 3. Barrett 50 cal sniper rifle 4. 1 round 5. Scope with cross hairs on Maliki's head Bring to a boil, and remove from heat. Open package of U.S. Govt threaten of intervention and reoccupation unless things are done asap. Add to the above and stir constantly until dinar value is suitable for your tastes. Serve and enjoy.

if we have cake, can we eat it too?

Thanks Betty...I am encouraged, as are a number of folks here. Know you are missed and appreciated. So take care of you, keep us posted and be well. Everything will be good for you!

He's that weird little dude that sells cheap pizza. Didn't you know?

We have so many self procaimed Gurus out there because the site "become a guru.com" recently ran a special sale where you could purchase a PhD for 39.95. Included was the book " self denial and hypnosis" at no charge. Obviously many took advantage of the one time offer...

Their wives must love them in bed though...think about it: all those positions they can get into cuz they have no spines...!lol

** sigh**...me too...

of what week??

After I catch my breath I may be excited. I will let you know after I change my underwear

Well, I have two dinars myself! lol

Every time I see this I have to chuckle a bit. Kuwait NEVER r/d"d folks! It has been proven and shown over and over and over, so to use that as an example of ANYTHING is ludicrous!

Iraq never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity...

ReallY! Could not agree more. The negativity gets really old, really fast. Makes me wonder why some people are even here...they obviously don't believe in it. The obvious reason for their being here is that they get off on negativity and putting people down. Give me a break.
