News of interest to me.

...your mileage may vary.

1. Good.

2. Hmmm.

3. As long as we deal with it and adapt - so what? Back when it was designed, we didn't think tanks were appropriate for this purpose (ignoring Israeli experience, to be sure).

4. Tell me again about that omnibus intelligence centralization bill...

5. Obviously, the lag in recruiting needs some innovation... hell, why don't we *field* a team. Use the draft, heheheheheheh.

6. For whatever reason - you do NOT want to collect one of these.

7. Barb is a Large Mammal!

8. The Castle is having it's best month ever in terms of visitors. We're also the biggest Silverback on the Ecosystem today. Watch out, Frank! Thank you all!

Re: Tanks in urban warfare: As long as the armor works in concert with the infantry, tanks in cities works fine... Just reference the city fights of the Korean war and the battle for Hue in Vietnam.
 
Check your Site Meter stats. Mine picks up no RSS and I am now over 80% RSS readership. As a result, my server stats show 155,000 visitors so far in March with only 350 a day tops being caught by Site Meter. You may be an even more fantastically important figure on the information superhighway than you suspect. Check, however, with your local SWMBO on that before engaging the ego expansion module.
 
Avengerredsix.blogspot.com (Lt. Prakash) has some great descriptions of tankers working with the infantry inside Fallujah.
 
Er, Thanks, John ... I think! I can just see what kind of comments THAT is going to generate ;-)
 
That was my hope, Barb! Sadly, Alan, my server stats are running only slightly ahead of my sitemeter stats. We is what we is. Now with all my pictures... If I counted *hits* we'd be huge.
 
Ok - I shall file the application in the Court of Personal Grudges against Site Meter in my own name only.
 
You know, John, the Silverback Gorilla exhibit at the Cincinnati Zoo is one of my favorite places to visit....very jungle-like. And ooo...I just love it when the dominate Silverback gets up on his hind legs, beats his chest and gives a MIGHTY ROAR! *congrats*
 
Barb - Don't worry, I hid the picture from the old post...
 
Gee, Bill, you are SO-O-O helpful! *sigh* But wouldn't that be a large mammary, not mammal?
 
Plural.
 
As in, Two.Large. Or Too.Large. Waitaminnit--no such thing as too large.
 
Speak for yourself. Those look painful from my perspective ...
 
Odd. Looks *great* from here. Wanna look over my shoulder? [*whap*]YIPE!
 
MUFFY! Back in your crate!
 
*SMACK!*
 
Ooooh. Lioness lipstick on the cheek... [*blush*]
 
Bill blushes?!?!?! *unable to continue typing, due to raucous uncontrollable laughter*
 
And... A man who can't tell the difference between a slap and a kiss has a lot more in common with Neffi then previously suspected, hmmm?
 
FbL Ma'am - A slap is generally accepted to be rendered as [*whap*] while a big, sloppy wet kiss is rendered *SMOOCH!* or *SMACK!* However, if your intent was to render a [*whap*] rather than a *SMOOCH!* I shall accede, as ever, to your wishes. Dynamite caboose, doll! [*bolt*]
 
Bill likes his rough, anyway. Check the scars.
 
...the 'kiss/slap' connection is, por moi, an issue of 'give/receive'...alas.
 
MAN! I sign on this morning and what do I find? Slapping, smacking, smooching and whapping! pout...I missed all the action....
 
Relax, have a Molson's and then get back to work--testing the stripper poles for suitability...
 
Ooh, Bill's gonna dance for us! *big grin*
 
[loading revolver] Oh, he'll dance all right...
 
Jealous, Neffi? *grin*
