    when you cut and paste it into a word document (easier to read at work) it's 17 pages. :o

    Maybe I'll get a chance to read it during my 2:00 concall. :lol:

    I can read and listen at the same time. Pretty much anyway. :D

    That truly was fascinating. Probably the longest article I've read in 10 years that didn't have something to do with music or sports
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

    crazy.

    "...General James Cartwright, the vice-chairman of the Joint Chiefs, favored an airstrike by B-2 Spirit bombers. That option would avoid the risk of having American boots on the ground in Pakistan. But the Air Force then calculated that a payload of thirty-two smart bombs, each weighing two thousand pounds, would be required to penetrate thirty feet below ground, insuring that any bunkers would collapse. “That much ordnance going off would be the equivalent of an earthquake,” Cartwright told me. The prospect of flattening a Pakistani city made Obama pause. He shelved the B-2 option and directed McRaven to start rehearsing the raid."

    umm..yeah, good idea to pas on this one...

    Aside from a tad of inside information, there wasn't too much in there that couldn't have been read elsewhere. Not too bad all the same.
