We already are.

- If her husband doesn't give her coffee, a Saudi woman can divorce him
- The most readily identifiable smell is coffee. Peanut butter comes a close second
- A latte is literally called a 'wrong coffee' (Koffie verkeerd) in Holland
- Large doses of coffee can be lethal. 5-10g, or 100 cups over 4 hours can kill the average human.

Sorry, been sent more useless shit by another touting image library today.

Coalition won't, the US already is in a big way.

I think the Iraqi resistance will fail now, they've shot themselves in both feet with a 12gague by attacking Iraqi civvies and lost the mainstream support that had a legitimate resistance movement. Obviously there are different elements at work but without popular support they will wane and eventully die.

Wolf what does this mean?

That neither side really gives a damn if all 51 (or whatever) of the Phillipine troops are gone, and that the insurgents would really rather kidnap people from countries with larger numbers of troops.

Catwoman · 07-16-2004, 09:26 AM

If no one gives a damn why the hell have they been risking their lives??

jaguar · 07-16-2004, 09:32 AM

I think 100 cups of water in 4 hours would come close to killing you.

It does. Flushes the sodium and potassium out of your system and your heart stops.

(It's got a fancy name that I can never remember without google's help ... something polydipsia .. psychogenic polydipsia. No, that's just the desire to drink lots and lots of water. oooh ... google can be so unhelpful. It should know what the fuck I really want ... hyponatremia.)

UT- The very phrase 'capitulated to international terror' suggests weakness and surrender. What if they simply wanted to prevent more harm? Quite rational, really, as griff said.

damn double quotes

Ah, the doormat defense. Works every time. No, it really does. When you have nothing left to give, they really do stop taking.

We probably shouldn't be there but, fact is, we are. And we aren't leaving until the job is finished regardless of how many heads they toss into the Tigris.

Not to hijack the thread, but I heard from a Marine in Iraq, that some of the Marines are spending their off duty time by going into Fallujah in their civies.

wolf · 07-16-2004, 10:07 AM

I like many people who don't like guns.

Undertoad · 07-16-2004, 10:40 AM

Prevent more harm for whom?

If they find that kidnapping works to threaten governments, they will do it more often.

Catwoman · 07-16-2004, 10:46 AM

Good point.

smoothmoniker · 07-16-2004, 11:43 PM

Why would they go there?
