This is prolly kind of late for this post but wrt to Iranian submarines…

If you dug far enough and deeply enough you would prolly find out that they were old US diesel submarines. We have given many of them away over the years. These submarines if handled by competent and well trained crews can be very quiet and extremely stealthy. At slow speeds,

Not sure of that but maybe some US. Iran seems to have 6 SSK (hunter killer subs), 3 are used KILO-class hunter-killer subs purchased from Russia — small and *very* quiet — the other three are listed as SSI’s aka SSK-type but origin not identified, at least not in Wikipedia. Any Janes afficionados out there?

Oh TRex, so sorry to miss this post last night, too busy with household stuff; such is the life of a villager.

Nuts, and I just put away my pitchfork for the winter. Guess I better get it back out and look for the pitch for the torches while I’m at it.

Maybe I should ask Santa for a new stainless steel pitchfork for Christmas; I might wear out my old one by then…

Rayne, that pitchfork’s so cool — “Whether you’re a devotee of English-style gardening, French intensive double digging, or the American eclectic school,” — American eclectic school” Ahoohaaa snerk(!)

As for torches, I recommend this site.

Last night LindyH and Old Coastie linked to these sites re the NK test

US Geological Survey

Swiss Red Puma (via China?)

The quake/shock finally showed up on USGS but Red Puma doesn’t show it yet that I can see. Any seismologists up yet who can tell me if I should take my tinfoil hat off and look for the key to my fallout shelter?

From last night:

The korea thing is a bummer, totally bad timing to say the least. It could be to the Dems advantage, but they have to be strong and unrelenting in the finger-pointing at Bush. They have to argue we’ve wasted three years in the sandbox while a truly dangerous adversary has been going along scot-free to do whatever. I just doubt that we will. Thanks to George, we only have 6000 active troops ready to fight, so who will we outsource this war to?

I hope I’m wrong, but this is just terrible news. Foley’s fricking GONE! Poof! End of story.

DAMNIT! How many times can George snatch electoral victory from defeat BECAUSE of his own incompetence. Hope I’m overreacting to all of this, but I’m afraid not. Just watch the MSM rally around Bush, it’s gonna be Sept. 12th, 2001 all over again.

Raoul, I’m not so sure it happened. Neither Red Puma nor the Geological Survey have anything…and both are robot sites. If it’s detected, it’s put on the map. My tinfoil hat’s telling me, “LOOK! OVER THERE! A SPARKLIE!” And what exactly does it mean, “the military has confirmed”? Would that be Rummy? He’s a lying sack of shit, backed by other liars. So I’m not so sure what to think.
