Do they print 'Stars & Stripes' in Arabic??


Do they print the New York Times in Arabic? What pertinence does the
question have on the issue?

Is it possible the army Pr people might be able to do as complete a
brainwash on them as on some American
veterans?

I suppose there's an allegation of something in there somewhere, but
it's over my head. Help me out here, I'm more into the straightforward
type stuff.

Are you implying that the article I posted about Iraqi NCOs is some
type of "brainwashing?" Do you think Sgt. Susan German is into
brainwashing? Or could she just be reporting a positive piece of news
about Iraq? Do you believe that there is *nothing* good happening in
Iraq, or does it just upset you to *hear* about it?

Frankly John, I think there are quite a few of us who would prefer not
to hear about it in THIS news group. You started out here as a fairly
straight guy who liked to talk about boats, fishing and the
Chesapeake, all suitable topics of course.

Lately, you seem to have lost your way somewhere and ended up aground
in OT marsh.

Just my 2 cents worth.

Yup, you're probably right. Too much free time lately.

John, here's a suggestion: no matter what the weather, get out on the water.

Then, I guarantee, the pettiness and animosity that has been pervading this
newsgroup for months will fade from your perception--and you won't feel like
contributing to it in any way. --note smiley

Me, I've just come back from 8 days on the high seas, half of which was in the
beautiful Sea of Cortez, and all of which was spent being shamelessly catered
to.

I can highly recommend Celebrity--but they wouldn't let me drive the damn boat!
I even brought my own GPS.

I can't get on the water until April 1st. My boat is in a boatel, way
back at the end on the highest rack. The marina has filled the open
area with boats from slips and won't have them all out until late
March. It's driving me crazy. But I knew the deal when I signed on the
dotted line, so I can't bitch too much.

Your trip sounds wonderful. The wife and I are going to Holland during
the last of April for a couple weeks. That will be fun, but not like a
cruise. I've been thinking of a cruise up to Alaska one of these days
when she retires. We'll see.

I'll try to be good for a while.

Sorry...I came of age during the Vietnam era. I just don't believe most of
what the military says.
Call me cynical if you want.

Most of the military pr crap that herring posts here isn't news by any
news organization's standards, which is why hardly any legit news
outlets pick it up.

Here goes Harry again talking all that liberal crap again. He seems to think
the liberal news media is telling the truth. He believes everything they are
saying about the war in Iraq is true. He lives in a Democratic Sand bucket.
