Engorgeous George

Are you suggesting, and I hope you are, that we give the jews New Jersey?

As I recall, and I freely admit my recall may be less than perfect as this is not a prime issue for me, there were two potential avenues of egress. The first was an urban airport in a city center surrounded by buildings right up to its fenceline. In those buildings lived civilians and amoungst those civilians , intermingled and indistinguishable from them were Afghan fighters. The other airport was beyond rural, it was in the middle of nowhere. There was a clear twenty mile kill zone around it in the entirety. Noone could approach its fenceline without being eliminated through any number of methods of fire whether ground artillary and small arms, helicopter, or fixed wing aircraft. It was a perfect defensive postion. Biden's crew choose the urban nightmare. Next the Administration choose to evacuate much of the military strength in arms and personnel and then try to extract, without sufficient cover, american personnel and allies. Predictably the airbase was pressured and overrun and supplies were left behind. Had the Administration instead evac'd personnel under protection of full arms they would all have gotten out, then the armed personnel could have evac'd those materials they chose, again under cover, and could have stockpiled the remainder together in an area were they could have been demo'd by engineers using det cord. explosives, and corrosives. Finally the armed personnel could have been extracted under cover of our air superiority and the material left behind demolished from the air. As I said this may be wrong, my memory may be spotty. What I am aware of is that there is an order, a checklist if you will to pulling out, to an orderly withdrawal or retreat. The procedure is covered at the academies. The procedure was not followed to predictable results. You could look all of this up if you truly cared to understand the matter rather than to try to run interfeerence on the issue.

You are the moral equivilent of the Westboro Baptists folks who like to demonstrate outside the funerals of fallen vets saying inflamatory things about them. They say it is their right to do so, to seek out folks who are morning a passing and to try to anger them. You have done so here. You could have easily started a thread about your opinion rather than bring it here. You brought it here intentionally.

Raising the question "Can fecal matter see itself in a mirror?"

I don't believe I have ever criticized your intelligence. I know I have defended you from time to time even though I find you insufferable. Still, if name calling is what is to be between us I can live with that as I give your opinion very little weight. As for unsubstantiated rumors impugning a person's fundamental character, yeah, I have a problem with that, you do not, this speaks to both of our characters.

After breakfast I am going to do her hundchen style.

Got my wife one of these german beer girl outfit - Bing images She will be brining me beer which falls within the parameters of the reinheitsgebot and a breakfast of hoppelpoppel and eierkuchen. Later in the day I will consider attacking the rest of europe.

So even though you think an unsubstantiated rumor is not true you propogate it all the same.

So you are not of a mind to extend a bit of grace to the recently deceased.

That would take the teeth and the bite strength of a hyena. Strikes me as unlikely. Someone got lost in his own hyperbole.

I've starteed two threads in the last week or so. Putativerly they were on very different subjects. Actually they devolved into nearly the exact same slap fight.

Its exactly the same if one's reading comprehension rate approaches zero and they ared listening, instead, to the voices in their heads, sort of like the shooter may have. The reason I say may have is that though he claims to have heard voices e does not claim to have taken their direction.

Time to produce and deploy a few MOAB's? The problem with them is deploying them requires access to air space and we may not be willing to access the air space over the targets upon which they would be most impactful.

After his debacle in Denver, including another taping scandal and his back stabbing of the Colts who were willing to over look his dumpster fire in denver there was no way anyone should have hired him. This newest failure was wholly predictable.

That was my intended subject, but as always threads take on a direction of their own. I find the undefined terms in section three particularly fascinating and tyroubling. I tend to interpret them in light of the undersdtanding of that day not our own. The terms i find most interesting are: engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. These terms are so wide open you could drive a convoy of trucks through ther openings. There is so little specific direction there as to give no warning nor to place no one on notice of what is prohibited, which is a constitutional problem. I also find the provision interesting as most amendments preserve rights, rights preexisting. Few amendments diminish rights or restrict matters and when they do they restrict government, generally, not the people. The amendment is not entirely singular, but it is fairly unique, and therefore interesting.

The Gorge Red Rocks Alpine Valley Winterland Madeline Island The order can fluctuate and of Course Winterland closed in 1977.

Which one or ones?

Denvere has a vibrant jewish community. Around the area one can also find memorials to Sand Creek and Leadville.

My inner dialog is in Cantonese. Unfortunately I do not speak Canonese so it is a bit confusing.

I look at U.N. statements on Israel with a jaundiced eye given the constant and inaccurate claims welcomed there against Israel. As forncoverage from CNN and MSNBC I wait for further confirmation given their coverage so far. It may be true, but I doubt it as it would be very much against the self-interest of the Israel prime Minister given he is courting world opinion on this issue. Time will tell.

On yesterday's bike ride I rode through Babi Yar Mermorial Park in Denver. I stopped and read a bit about the massacres.

I could use an introduction. I am particularly interested in meeting those who market Uncle Sigmund's Peruvian marching powder and Silly Cy & Ben's magic shrooms.

I remember a kinder, gentler era of America where Leave It to Beaver and Bonanza were on T.V. and where you did not have to worry about marijuana in your kid's Halloween candy. Back in the day we put pins and razor blades in the candy. Now it's all fentanyl and marijuana. Man how I long for the good ole days.

The hot springs there are only so so, but the Fairy Caves are worth a look.

First - Hendrix Most recent since I don't want to say last - Dead and Company in Boulder Best - Greatful Dead, 11-5-77 Rochester Most frequent - Greatful Dead or the Lamont Cranston Band Closed out on - Clapton canceled a show in Madison, he was sick.

Stumbled upon concerts - Prince (he bought a bottle for me and my date when his body guard got overly officious with me), the Stones (well not really it was Keith Richards and Ronnie Woods noodling on some house instruments in Montreal while Mick Jaggeer napped in the corner. They were just passing thru.) Bob Dylan playing with some hippies in Palenque. Arlo Guthrie on piano at a house party following a show he did in Madison.
