I'm worried about you Oregon DUers

[FreedRadical]

What has become of all of you? Is there some mass exodus I didn't hear about? Has everyone moved down to New Orleans to get great deals on house's? Have you all gotten lost hiking in the Cascades? Should send out a search party? I see 2 or 3 of you every now and then, here or there. There used to be many of you. Oh no, have you died?:cry:



:wtf: Can I get a check in or what? How many of you are there left? HELLO OUT THERE.:wtf:




There has been some talk over in the lounge about starting a sex forum and since we are not using this one for any thing, I'm thinking of using this one and getten nasty hear:evilgrin:



I'll do it. It'll be easy. SEX FORUM OVER HEAR. See what you made me do.:eyes:

"All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players."
William Shakespeare

Writer's note: Several of the characters in the Portland Nuke plot have supplied their own lines via emails and articles, from which I have included extracts below. All emails were addressed to me as replies to my questions or articles.

Prologue: LTC Philip Smith

"In August, Noble Resolve will coordinate with officials in Oregon to model a nuclear attack on Portland." wrote Josh Rogin, military reporter for Federal Computer Week's FCW.com on April 4. His article was the basis of my first call with Lt. Col. Philip Smith, a senior public affairs officer for the U.S. Joint Forces Command, which is conducting the military exercise.

Smith and I found plenty to talk about in a half-hour chat. As a former Army public affairs officer myself, I knew about his job, which is to inform the public on stories of interest or concern. We discussed computer-simulated exercises like Noble Resolve, and he seemed interested in my own experience with the concept back in its initial days, around the time of the first Iraq war. It's a small world when you're part of the military intelligentsia, and we soon discovered that both his wife and I had belonged to the 75th Division, specializing in military exercises, headquartered in Houston, Texas.

On the subject of Noble Resolve itself though, he had few ready answers other than the date of the exercise, which was August 20-24. I told him that this bare fact added greatly to public knowledge, and said that I found it shocking that no press release had come out since the spring. It was as if the government was purposely avoiding informing the public of the training it claimed to be conducting for the public's security, and that impression of things had become general across the Internet, where alarmed citizens and specialists were writing that the exercise might be a cover operation for the execution of the nuke scenario it was practicing.

Smith agreed with me that it was important to get an updated story out, and later replied to my email promising to follow up with much-needed details. By then, we were on a first-name basis:

Maybe I'm just paranoid, but I can't help remembering 9/11 when those jets that should have been responding were off somewhere practicing.

7. Hi, Freed!

Pleased to meetcha! :hi:

First Fridays I go to a Pirate Meetup and usually Saturday is spent in an entirely unproductive and unplanned manner. That's the only explanation I can find for not making it to a single DU meetup.

Next month will be different!

:hi: Hi, Viva! So now there are three.
