The Folks at the CNE put on an interesting show.  I had quite a good chat with a couple of Coyote crewmen last year... Chatted about the Coyote for almost a half an hour.  I didn't have that much time this year, but I definately noticed a couple of ladies in fatigues wandering around, and one...

Or some of our nice looking Ladies in Uniform ;)...  I noticed that the Ladies in Uniform at the CNE always get lots of attention.

Another interesting analysis on BBC website. I'm wondering what the chances of a formal treaty between Ukraine, Georgia and Turkey are, with the pipeline at stake.... http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7575813.stm

Hey Oligarch Russians Revise death toll for South Ossetia from 1600 to 133: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7572635.stm

If the US leaves Georgia hanging in the breeze, with Georgia being, IIRC, the 3rd largest deployment in Iraq, how does it affect US credibility with other erstwhile allies?  And how do the regulars feel about a possible treaty/alliance between Turkey, Ukraine and Georgia, as well as some of...

Haggis:Well, I gathered that. :P.. Was wondering what class it was...

I can't see the front glacis, but IIRC, The Georgians are using T-72s.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/7557049.stm An interesting analysis piece over at BBC.  One of the regulars earlier was saying that there was a good chance that this was about energy supplies. (Natural Gas mainly, I think)

Ex-Dragoon: I realize that there is a bunch of stuff on the plate of the navy. And alot of the stuff that we are doing prob. should have been done years ago.  For myself, I'm more worried about the long lead time for major combatant construction.  This become even more of a worry if we are to...

Oh, I realize that...  He'll prob get a comment from a staffer to the effect of "Some guy wrote in about replacing the Destroyers." However the more letters that they get about the topic, the more the matter come on their radar screen. And sometimes the formulaic responses from the ministers...

It Geo, My email  was not so much of a rehash for the minister as a note from a concerned citizen about the topic.  If he says anything interesting in reply, I'll post it here to inform others.  I was in the middle of checking on the status of the replacement program for my own edification...
