My guess is that after we take over Iraq, then Iran, we are coming after you!!!!!
Sorry, no oil reserves in my home (excluding the sunflower oil and cod liver oil), so I am not worth the trouble
Late addition: I forget to mention the massage oil, which fits neatly into the context of my next post
Brother Optional,
Now, that depends on who "we" is... if you are a hot single blonde, you are most welcome to come after me, so that I may come on you (j/k)... if you are a male, I cannot (to the best of my knowledge) oblige, unless you wanna play an innocent game of spin the bottle...
Regards,
Candle
P.S. What's the significance of that bird icon?
Those who can't see the significance, apparently have their heads in the sand.
Good one!
Saddam be forewarned, you think US soldiers are going home en masse in body bags? Think again.

"They're calling it "A-Day," A as in airstrikes so devastating they would leave Saddam's soldiers unable or unwilling to fight.
If the Pentagon sticks to its current war plan, one day in March the Air Force and Navy will launch between 300 and 400 cruise missiles at targets in Iraq. As CBS News Correspondent David Martin reports, this is more than number that were launched during the entire 40 days of the first Gulf War.
On the second day, the plan calls for launching another 300 to 400 cruise missiles.
"There will not be a safe place in Baghdad," said one Pentagon official who has been briefed on the plan.
"The sheer size of this has never been seen before, never been contemplated before," the official said.
The battle plan is based on a concept developed at the National Defense University. It's called "Shock and Awe" and it focuses on the psychological destruction of the enemy's will to fight rather than the physical destruction of his military forces.
"We want them to quit. We want them not to fight," says Harlan Ullman, one of the authors of the Shock and Awe concept which relies on large numbers of precision guided weapons.
"So that you have this simultaneous effect, rather like the nuclear weapons at Hiroshima, not taking days or weeks but in minutes," says Ullman."
600 to 800 cruise missiles in 48 hours- If the US uses this tactic, I think the possibilities of high US casualties will be significantly reduced.
This article is prefaced by this amusing Dan Blather comment: "We assure you this report contains no information that the Defense Department thinks could help the Iraqi military."

No shit, Danny, what's Saddam going to do, put in some extra triple A batteries?

yes, it's the precision of the missiles that allows such an attack to work (and be morally justifiable) -- ie, military targets sans the civilian casualities that come with blanket bombing.
the psychological shock of a nuclear weapon without the undesirable side effects. i like it.
candletraitor, about all that US v china/india/russia BS. AS IF the US would lack the balls to go at it against those peasants! lol. there is no military force on earth that even comes close to matching US military might. sure, america might not be able to defeat them (with conventional weapons) on their own turf, but there is no way they'd ever be able to conquer america. so what's there to 'lack the balls' about?
Daniel,
which country in the world actually plans to conquer America? Well, maybe your friendly neighbors in the North?
Or your other friendly neighbors to the South?
Nobody disputes the fact that the US Army is the biggest military power in the world of today, in terms of striking power and efficiency. Although, as you correctly point out, the US military might not be able to defeat them on their turf, but most countries worry about nothing but their own "turf" anyway.
Just think of those little VC gangs that gave the US and China some painful lessons on warfare! Remember the helicopter leaving from the roof of the US embassy in Saigon? Sans Miss Saigon, of course!
