Sir, I was referring to the situation just prior to the invasion. The Iraqis did no prep work that would preclude me to think they were readying for MOUT. They just taped their windows and what few bunkers they've built were built out of sandbags, not concrete.

Colonel, Ask me. Even as a senior officer, I went into a CASO (Cordon and Search). It was awful. Who is a terrorist and who is 'clean'?

Sir, been there, done that, hated the t-shirt. I hear you, Sir. I hear you.

Sir, been there, done that, ignored the damned REMFs. But then again, these REMFs were UN and not part of my chain-of-command no matter how indirect. I guess, Sir, your REMFs is given more rope looking for someone to hang. I do not envy your position, Sir, not one bit.

If India did what they are doing in Iraq, we would have been hammered out to Kingdom Come.

Sir, I'm finally understanding you liking that Col in "A Few Good Men" so much.

Closer to times, Hitler gassed people. Can you do it today?

Maybe not, Sir, but my point about Masyad is that the enemy is now concentrated in one place - Iraq. It's age old addage, if you cannot find the enemy, let the enemy find you. Al Qeida and most of its allies are committed to Iraq. Destroy them in Iraq and you effectively destroyed them just as the Mongols did to the Assasins.

How we destroy them, I would ask you again, Sir, how did British India destroy Thugee?

the bulk of bankruptcies due to illness, or medical emergencies are usually because of loss of income, not lack of medical insurance, most hospitals will take payment plans, not to mention the multitude of charities, (you dont have to be poor to get hospital charity) hell you could pay medical bills at 50 a month forever and not have to file BK. the problem is most people live just within thier means, and being off work for a month or two means you get behind on the car the morgage ect.. then it snowballs. i have looked at thousand of credit reports, and can say this is usualy the case.
