A ship that had to be somewhere but had a problem.
An "acquisitive" Executive Officer.
And a little ingenuity.
While watching a BBC report over at my place on the attack on the Georgian Navy in the port of Poti, one of my readers SurfCaster proved his worth as a buddy on RECCE Quiz Jeopardy. At about the 1:20 point, he spotted the pic on the right.
Look at the side-by-side. That my friend is a SS-21. All sorts of stuff on parade. With all this Soviet ... errrrr ... Russian gear all over the place, I feel like an O2 again.
PS: remember, when a C-17 drops off lots of goodies, it would be a crying shame to let it go home with a big, empty cargo hold. Plenty of room for geedunk.
The superb IraqPundit takes a break from slamming Obama and warns of trouble on the horizon with Kirkuk. Provincial elections seem to be the most important political issue in Iraq right now (even more so than the disputed Hydrocarbon Bill) and it would be foolish to neglect the potential for conflict.
A week old, but missed it when it was new: Bartle Bull argues against a surge in Afghanistan. Not a popular opinion these days.
I'm reminded of this comment from Bing West:
