I like to rub it in a bit - sue me!

I think you got the hook dropped on you alright, the Greek loukaniko hook.

First off dumbass, Pireas is a Greek word and takes Greek letters so there ain't no way to correctly spell it in English but if you take it directly its PIREAS.....there is no U in the Greek language, don't argue this with a Greek.

Do you always dig your holes 7 feet instead of the customary 6?

have you ever been there?

I have.

and I dropped the hook in the bucket...first try..

and we were a half a mile from the "dock".

idiot.

[Yurt]

absolutely! Four star egos clashing and people doubt that that there might be some blood?

Thats pretty lame. We all have egos, I hear even 2 star generals do...

[Sir Evil]

I want to take back my comments about MFM, his overall integrity and his service to our country.

You should'nt because he has zilch as far as integrity, and as far as service I would'nt buy and of the shit he shovels, a liar is a liar and way you slice so no telling what your getting.

Modern Greek: Greek: Πειραιάς

Geia pes mou vre poustpaido pou vlepeis kai to "u" ekei?

Where the hell you see a 'U" or even a translative "u" there?

That shit is spelled wrong in all English books, don't step to me on this.

I didn't say I was letting him off the hook on this particular debate. I just think I was a bit more vicious than necessary in the process. The Admiral has spoken himself, and unless he changes his own words, as far as I'm concerned the article in question is completely false and anyone who further perpetuates the words Fallon has now denied is just as guilty of making libelous comments towards 2 highly decorated vets as the writer.

so you are generalizing all four star generals? And two star generals?

Lol, that map is in English douchebag! You got a reading comprehension problem?

Been there more times than there are toes and fingers on this board, you are going to get fucked up on this subject.

oddly enough...we are using the english language here. Every chart that the US Navy uses to navigate into the harbor of Athens refers to the port as Piraeus.

but then....you would have as little knowledge of that as you do of the idiomatic expression "dropping the hook"

He probably hasn't nor have you.

He will make you regret that statement.

[jimnyc]

He will make you regret that statement.

Maybe so, maybe not. But I have a good memory!

If ANYONE continues to state Fallon made those comments about Petraeus anymore, in my book they are making libelous statements and calling Fallon, an Admiral, a liar.

[retiredman]

He probably hasn't nor have you.

I would surmise he hasn't.... and I am quite certain that I have.

[Yurt]

Again, are you generalizing all four star generals as having this massive ego you claim...

where have I EVER claimed that all four stars have massive egos?
