A great dinner at Ocean Seafood last night with a fun and engaging collection of bloggers.
Everyone seemed to have a good time (except for the whole 'waiter bringing the live fish by for us to inspect before they fried it' thing. Several folks felt that we now had a personal relationship with the fish, which made them uncomfortable when it was served. I'll note didn't diminish the speed with which it was devoured)
Great food, beer, excellent and good-humored company and a lively and usually friendly chat.
I hope we do it again soon.
I don't trust these guys one bit. What will keep them from restarting thier terror campaign the minute the US pulls out?
We will need to maintain a small, but lethal rapid reaction force in Iraq for decades. Maybe is a stategic base somewhere out in the desert.
We can never completely leave Iraq.

The waiter or the fish :)
which reminds me of the scene from Doug Adams' "Restaurant at the End of the Universe":
The waiter approached.
'Would you like to see the menu?' he said,
'or would you like meet the Dish of the Day?'
'Huh?' said Ford.
'Huh?' said Arthur.
'Huh?' said Trillian.
'That's cool,' said Zaphod, 'we'll meet the meat.'
