What Is the Mission?
'President Bush teared up on Memorial Day and said we must complete the mission in Iraq to honor the 18,000 wounded and 2,400-plus dead.

And what has the president's blundering accomplished? He's converted an old enemy of Iran into a new ally of Iran. Did he hear the Iraqi prime minister when he said no attacks on Iran from Iraqi soil will be tolerated? Did the president hear him when he said Iran has a right to enrich uranium? The president has created gas lines in an oil-rich country. He's restarted inflation and the Cold War.

Perhaps we're the ones who should be tearing up. We have two more years of this guy, and he still believes that, except for a misspoke word now and then, he's done everything right. At least he's smart enough not to go hunting with Dick Cheney. That's our small consolation.' http://www.antiwar.com/reese/?articleid=9082

13. Dang if we didn't build 26 miles of singletrack together on Cape Cod
He was the testosterone, I was the estrogen and together we have
built environmentally sensitive multi-use recreational trail
that ROCKS! I must say, My lines are NICE. I created a
single track climb/ descent that the guys named "Debbie's mounds"
It's a pretty tough climb- and when guys do it for the first
time they come into mitchy's shop!!!"Dude I just climbed
your wife's mounds!"

Great, huh?

15. 20 years worth!
I started the Cape Cod Chapter of NEMBA
New England Mountain Bike Association

It's gonna be kinda sad moving away from here.
For a US base of operations we are looking at
Bend, OR. There is a trail there, called
"Phil's Trail" like 10 miles of slow winding
downhill, with lots of banks/ small jumps.

Yeeeeehawwwwwwwwww

Plus a million other trails.

Both my boys can huck wicked shit!
I gave up huckin' when I broke my
wrist 2yrs ago playing hockey. I decided
live to ride.

3. Around 1967
LBJ & Co stopped talking about winning the war, and instead started talking about winning the peace. I think it signaled that they were becoming aware that they weren't going to achieve victory there. It seems to me that there is a similar change in the description of the goal in Iraq.

5. that sounds right to me, H2O Man, constantly moving the goal posts...
is to me an indicator that the regime in charge of stadium operations cannot play by the rules when their team is seen as losing...or worse yet, which i very much see this gang of criminals doing; they'll tip the game board ala hitler's nazi's, and blame on some scapegoat ala iran

not looking forward to that either
