KT -

...because as soon as they capture Osama or find his body, there will be a huge rally...

Or a half-huge rally for each of his body-doubles?

Regards, Don

<<It is amazing how many cell phones are out there when they work for crap.>>

I don't have one, but everyone else in my family does.
I first noticed this "looks like the real thing, but ----" when I bought an electric train set for my son many years ago.
That, and other gizmo toys were lucky to make it past boxing day.
Can't really put it down to being too old to remember. It seems to me that my Hornby train set worked for years, along with pellet fired steam engines, and meccano sets.
I know, I know , you're too young to remember this, but once upon time some things actually worked like promissed.
On the other hand some things taught me a lot. Things like the Ovaltine secret decoder ring, only mine was a submarine from Kellogs from Battleford Michigan.

Mike:

Bullish views indeed.... LOL!!

I fully concur with your analysis of the trucking scene. (g)

It is quite a coincidence that we both see the bringing in of Osama as a culminating event. My only worry is that the bum is buried deep in the dirt already.

You know, in some ways this thread is like an extended family..... diverse as heck , and tribal as can be. Glad to be back. (g)

Best, Earlie
