		<description>Go to Google Earth.

Type in &quot;East Madison, Maine&quot; and click!

After enjoying the spectacular zoom effect, center the photo-image on 44o 51&#039;01&quot; N and 69o45&#039;57.55&quot; W

Zoom further - note the red swimming dock.

Observe the compound.  Eat your heart out.</description>

		<description>The last I heard Iran&#039;s economy is imploding.  I think this was Bush&#039;s plan all along.  He knows the muslims will rise up if we bomb or invade now.  Iran is not keeping their oil equipment in good repaid and have few refineries.  Most of their gasoline has to be imported.

And they really are clamping down on dissidents.  Maybe the number of dissidents are increasing and the mullahs have to clamp down on them in order to survive.  The Iranian people will eventually get tired of this crap and there will be an uprising hopefully.  That might be what the sanctions are all about.</description>

		<description>Ah, I was wondering where our resident Anti-American, Pro-Jihadi, Leftist Nutbag has been?

Of course, if you were kayaking up in Maine, I was skiing down Mt. Everest at the same time, yep, that&#039;s it, that&#039;s the ticket!

Of course, I was also named after Sir. Edmund Hillary, even though I was born 9 years BEFORE he climed Everest; yeah, that&#039;s it...

Freaking nutbag....</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Beside that Sooth your concept of one week really needs work.&lt;/i&gt;

You know - I cannot ascertain the point of your post.  Rather than puzzle it out, I&#039;d rather think about the amazing wildlife I interacted with in the wilds of Maine:  bald eagles, ospreys, loons, great blue herons . . .  ah, well . . . so, Merlin, tell me - how does it feel to present with - in addition to irrelevant old fart-hood - a classic case of hebephrenia. Let me explicate:

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;b&gt;Disorganized schizophrenia&lt;/b&gt; is a subtype of schizophrenia characterized by prominent disorganized behavior and speech, and flat or inappropriate emotion and affect. This type of schizophrenia is also known as hebephrenia, and is named after the Greek goddess of youth, Hebe, in reference to the typical age of onset in puberty.

Unlike the paranoid subtype of schizophrenia, delusions and hallucinations are not the most prominent feature, although fragmentary delusions and hallucinations may be present.

The emotional responses of people diagnosed with this subtype can often seem strange or inappropriate to the situation. Inappropriate responses may be common and behavior is sometimes described as &#039;silly&#039;. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

By law you should be required to place a hebephreniac warning label on all posts from MerlinOS2.</description>

		<description>Sooth 

It&#039;s really nice to see that all that medical research into Plexiglas belly buttons paid of.  But it really had to be a hard row to hoe with you head stuck in that position..

Tell me how does it feel being the most disingenuous  fool this side of maybe the Du underground.

You have already been slammed dammed and maamed here and thats only the start of your tribulations girl.</description>

		<description>A trillion? It has not been a trillion, but a trillion was just about the cost of 9/11 and what would the cost of 40% of the world&#039;s oil in the hands of terrorists, mullahs and dictators be? It is not as if they care about the poor or the world economy or stability or any of that.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;So let me get this straight, Lurker: the 1 trillion dollars flushed down the rathole of Iraq has been such a good investment that we should flush another trillion down a rathole in Iran/Syria with the same results: destabilization and infliction of agony upon the civilian population. How frigginâ€™ humanitarian of you.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

The only result is the stabilization, peace, harmony, freedom and civil liberties upon the civil population plus guaranteed future of our kids and grandkids.  That&#039;s all I care about.  Yup, well worth the costs and very humanitarian of me.</description>

		<description>Guess soothie values money over human life and freedom - just like Al Qaeda.  Al Qaeda values death over human life.

Our lives, future of our children and grandkids are far worth the costs of this war.

And the surge remains successful and it will continue to be successful over the next few months.  

The Democrats are going to have a hard time justifying their votes of hard timelines.</description>

		<description>Susan:

I don&#039;t think anyone is talking about destroying any country. I think it is interesting that the knee jerk reaction of the left is that if some Syrian dictator wants to kill Americans, kill Iraqis, kill Lebanese, kill Isrealis, that is ok fine...but ask them to cut that out? Well that is just down right unfriendly.

soothie, it appears that Levin has begun to think there is some progress in Iraq...has he gone over to the dark side?

And have the Brits lost Basra? Well what do you care? I don&#039;t really think they have, but if they have it is because the anti war element in that country did everything they could to limit the mission and get people out of there...so failure was the plan wasn&#039;t it? That is what you wanted right?

People like soothie just amaze me, they demand we leave, say everything will be better if we just back off and then when the Brits do just that, they complain there are not enough people. Morons.</description>

		<description>Hehehehe. Enjoy your &quot;rafting&quot; ?

Yes, the leftists are hard at work...trying to downplay, discredit and redirect news out of Iraq in preperation for Patreous report.  Of course..well..the Brits have been &quot;withdrawing&quot; from Iraq for a while now.  As they have reached critical mass now...every jihadi or insurgent or mookie milita from miles..has gone there to act like they are driving them out.  It&#039;s good PR for people like you. 

This is the Brits unilateral withdrawal plan to disengage from Iraq...you know..the one the democrats have a hard on to impliment at once.</description>
