Mr Porretto, like Lots of folks is discussing the Zarqawi deal and I have yet to see anyone even bring up what I consider the most salient point of the whole affair.

US Intelligence had inside information, confirmation, of the existence of Zarqawi. And that info was good, and that info paid of.

What does that mean, really?

Simple. It means that within the very secretive and bizzarre society of the terrorist community, the US Military has allies. We have people at the TOP. People who knew where Zarqawi was, and could pinpoint his location. The armor of Islam as terror is cracking. That is the salient point. Taste that. Taste the flavor of it, roll it around your tongue like a fine wine. Even within the terrorist organizations themselves, Terrorism is beginning to crumble. Relish this moment.

Tonight was the first night of my MSF course, and I have to say, based on what I’ve seen so far, everyone who drives should take this course. You have a greater respect for the difficulties of motorcycle driving, that’s for damned sure.

Class goes all week. Looking forward to it. Looking forward to having the bike on the road.

She ran as quickly as she could to her tiny nest in the basement, and the human followed behind. She darted under the old milk crate, and as the human picked up the milk crate, she and her tiny family of tiny baby mice lay in the nest looking up at the huge human, thousands of times her size.
