Various sources say June is the most likely time. The US has one carrier in the area and is moving two more to the area.
Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That was so fucking funny, Jess. "Strapping it on"?!?!?! Oh, and how come no one pointed out that the reason Aras fell on the rocks was that he was drunk off that mimosa?? And also, I wasn't convinced that the food Terry won would have helped him win the challenge anyway, when he started talking about brocolli and cauliflower and whatnot -- after a month of not much food, that could have messed up his stomach, don't you think?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Gardiner believes that the entire initial operation could run quickly, roughly 24-72 hours.
Does anyone believe that the entire operation will run "quickly?" Isn't this the bullshit we were handed last time? I didn't believe it then. I don't believe it now. I want some people impeached. Abuse of power.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Does anyone believe that the entire operation will run "quickly?"
Well, the idea is we'd stop after the 72 hours and then tell Iran, "If you retaliate, we'll bomb you some more."
My guess is that they retaliate, and that the whole thing will be a huge and deadly fiasco. But... who knows....

Today is my last day of grad school.
Yeah, because a birthday and an anniversary weren't enough to better this Monday already, right?
[Edit: 7=3+2+2. Now that can improve any sort of day.]

The operation itself, sure -- it doesn't take that long to bomb a building.
The aftermath, well that's a difference story.
Oh, and how come no one pointed out that
I don't know, except that maybe he and D didn't want the jury to know they got champagne? Which seems stupid, since the jury's all back at the hotel eating real food, so there's no reason not to make them jealous.

It just seemed so odd and stupid -- he was like, "All this time, I never fell! What was up with today??" Um.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Interesting article in the Times:
WASHINGTON, May 13 — Some of President Bush's most influential conservative Christian allies are becoming openly critical of the White House and Republicans in Congress, warning that they will withhold their support in the midterm elections unless Congress does more to oppose same-sex marriage, obscenity and abortion...
