I hiked the Beara Peninsula a couple years back and I remember one of the (tiny) towns there served as a port for allied ships, I guess it had a really really deep bay …

Just like Ireland is 'allegedly' neutral in the whole Iraq mess, but allows doodle troops to be processed through Shannon airport, much to the disgust of the Irish citizens I might add. [/QB]

I wonder if the "doodle" troops and insurgents are using the pubs together. :D

What's the difference between a guerilla, freedom fighter, terrorist &/or insurgent? Which one is the kamikaze???

Doodle troops couldn't handle real beer…so I very much doubt it.

Ok, I guess you missed my little joke. I was trying to say are the Americans and Iraqi insurgents getting together at pubs like the Germans and Brits did.
