#5 This news just in: All of the Wal-Marts across Alabama sold out of ammunition as of yesterday. A reliable source said that one of the purchasers commented that while Russia may have invaded Georgia, they sure as hell ain't doin' it to Alabama. |

#4 I wonder that Ivan would think if he woke up tomorrow morning and all of the elements on the order of battle list could no longer communicate? |

#3 This is one place where PDF doesn't stand for Pretty Damned Funny. If Putin is smart, he'll pull back pretty soon, now. He's made a strong impression for the at-home crowd. But, for the long run, he has paid a big price with the neighbors. All the neighbors got a refresher course in why they hate and fear the big bear. It's a boon for the US and NATO, especially since we have something solid to offer them for protection - a defensive missle shield. |
