And of course, a snappy salute to Larry.

Well done, well done. Now that we know our Knight has such cunning powers, who’s next?

(bahahahahahaha made my day!)

Thank You LARRY From All Of Us At Hillary_Clinton_In_2008 : Randi Rhodes Leaves Air America. A statement from the station’s chairman, Charlie Kireker, and president, Mark Green, to be released Thursday says the popular progressive host decided to leave after the station suspended her over the off-air comments.
This video below is pretty silly, but it started circulating late last night it. It blames everything on Larry Johnson over at No Quarter, which is laughable.

Is NOTHING sacred anymore? I’m all for freedom of the press, etc but not at the expense of American (or even MORE innocent Iraqi’s) lives.

No, but the SECOND time you hear it, in the dark, from outside your perimeter, that little, “chuff,” will wake you out of a sound sleep, right in the middle of the dream in which Elke Sommer ties the knots in the cord.

Which is why, of course, it’s called, “Harassment and Interdiction Fire.”
>>> …applies to shoulder fired rockets…

Lobbing an RPG is NOT the route to an accurate hit, although it might be argued that, given the size of The Green Zone, required accuracy is relative.

The Soviet 122 mm rocket (erroneously called “Katyusha”) has been fired from the back of a donkey cart in Baghdad, back in 2005. Requires two 1×3 sticks and 6 volts to send it on its merry way.

Leaves smoke trail (day) and light bloom (night).

Best employed in, “Shoot and Scoot,” – style attacks, lest Shoother’s BEE-hind becomes subject to being Policed Up.

No sir! Wrong verb.

Tempered by judgment might be more appropriate.

More ink-stained wretches with brains and fewer who are trying to beat the latest, “Lindsay Flashes Her Hoo-Hoo!” deadline would improve things immensely.

Besides, the only way we will Win Their Hearts and Minds is to collect them into Strategic Hamlets.

Ooops! My Bad!

Wrong, “Wrong War.”

So when Republicans shoot of their mouths like this, we are more than entitled to call them out on it. Because according to THEIR OWN RULES, this is information that could hurt the War Effort.

“They already know?” “The Green Zone can be seen on Google Earth?” Yes, and we all know that the Green Zone gets shelled and where Baghdad is on a map. What is the point? This is military information that should not be shared with the public by a CONGRESSMAN, and CERTAINLY not a Congressman from a party that screams “You are Anti-American!” every time someone suggests that the occupation isn’t going that well or that our attention might be better invested elsewhere.

A mortar isn’t very loud when fired and is light enough to be carried by one person.

It can be set up on a rooftop or a courtyard, and it can be aimed without line-of-sight targeting, so long as the range and direction are known. That could be accomplished with a basic map and a compass.

Precise targeting requires an observer to relay corrections to the operators. But if the weapon is set-up and 2-3 rounds fired before the operators pack up and move it would be extremely difficult to locate and return fire.

The same applies to shoulder fired rockets.

I was too young for Vietnam but many of the NCO’s I served with were there. They told stories of nighttime(usually) attacks on firebases from the jungle beyond the perimeter.

Everything was fortified with sandbags so the attacks usually did little damage unless someone was caught in the open but occasionally the attackers got lucky and hit a target.

That’s exactly what the attacks on the Green Zone sound like.
