#1 So far so good but they will, in some way, hit. But lets hope it won't be anywhere near 911. Time to target the brains.

#2 planning to outdo its attack on New York

With each successful attack, another thugocracy goes down. Next up: Iran. Hell, maybe even Americans will become custodians of the two holy thingies. That should get their calvins wound up.

#3 maybe even Americans will become custodians of the two holy thingies

Perhaps we could test the next generation Mars rover on the big black rock.

#4 maybe even Americans will become custodians of the two holy thingies

Nah, that's what we have Jordan for. Plus the King has a actual historic claim to the position.

#5 I wish that, just once, NPR or BBC would stick the microphone into the face of some of our native muslims moms with babies in strollers and ask them how they feel about their counterparts attempting to give their little mohmohs smallpox or worse.

#6 how can this be? John Kerry says it's all hype? Just a police action?

(/sarcasm off)

#7 Hose recommends that no one eat the submarine sandwichs. It's not worth it.

#8 STILL WAITING . . .

Here it is February 2nd and NYC hasn't been nuked yet. I've been looking out the 41st floor window for the mushroom cloud all day, but so far, there's been nothing.

P.S. - Off topic?? Last week a I saw a P-3 (or maybe an EP-3) flying low and slow up the Hudson at about 9:30 a.m.

#9 Tibor, I think that the P-3's could be used for surface search (detection of boats) or sub-surface search, but I don't think that would do much with respect to the WOT. The P-3 does have fairly long legs that would allow it to be used for identifying a surface craft. Can't think that a patrol up the Hudson would be useful for a purpose other than land navigation practice.
