Depends if Seigebreaker decides to invade Iran. 

One Jew.

One Decision.

No. Going. Back.

It would be more fun if Siegy would ventilate his head at home, where his wife can find his nude body in the bathroom with Zach and Cody blaring on the TV to muzzle the gunshot from the neighbors. 

Splatter patterns look much better on bathroom tile.  A study in contrasts, if you will.

Are you kidding?

The might of The Islamic Republic can crush all their enemies like if we were mere bugs.
Look at how they defeated the mighty british navy a couple years back.
Iran is a Great Power and a Great Nation.
I shake with fear of just thinking of the possibility of facing their mighty warriors.

I prefer the splatter patterns on the ground.
The way it creates little pools in the dirt its very artistic.
I remember one the reminded me of the Great Lakes.
In another ocassion, there was one exactly with the shape of the Dead Sea, with the Yarden river flowing into it and everything.

FORT LEWIS -- Thousands of local families are saying goodbye to their loved ones as the 4th Stryker Brigade at Fort Lewis gets ready to head to Iraq.

They'll be joining thousands of other Fort Lewis units in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Stryker brigades are already over there, as is the First Corps headquarters. Never before have we seen this many troops gone all at one time.

The 4,000 soldiers of the 4th Stryker Brigade have been in hurry-up mode ever since last March when they got word the Commander in Chief wanted to push up their deployment by 10 months.

"The brigade is ready," said Brigade commander Col. John Norris. "We did a lot of training, we accomplished a lot, the attitude is incredibly high and we are ready to get after it."

The brigade had to step up its training to be ready to go, but was helped by the fact that more than half are veterans of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

"Well, it's the second time in," said Sgt. Damon Farmer. "It's a little more, I guess it's never comfortable, but I'm getting used to it."

His wife Melissa said she's slightly worried, but "a little more comfortable knowing what's going to happen this time."

What's going to happen this time is the 4th Stryker Brigade soldiers are going to act more in the role of instructors -- showing the Iraqi security forces how to maintain peace in the region.

"A lot of helping out and hopefully put the Iraqi security forces in charge and set them up for success," said Lt. David Clarke.

Never before has Ft Lewis seen this kind of involvement overseas. By the end of the summer, more than 17,000 troops will be in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The 4th Brigade soldiers are joining the soldiers of the 3rd Stryker Brigade and the First Corps headquarters group in Iraq, and the 5th Stryker brigade in Afghanistan, which just lost two of its soldiers to a roadside bomb.

But for now, the thoughts are on a successful tour of duty, with veterans from Korea and WW-II helping to send them off
