I wouldn't expect someone from Seattle to read anything about the ongoing war, though.

Just like I wouldn't expect someone from Dayton to read a book. :)

P.S. Thanks for proving my point.

*edit since you still don't understand*

You stated that "a collection of guns is a "cache"".
It isn't, thats why I suggested you put down "Nascar Today" and look up cache in the dictionary. The links you provided only coincided (another big word for you) with what i said.

So he had a handful of guns and some weed, so what? Letting his friend drive his car 100+mph while smoking dope and toting around some guns isn't the best idea though.

On a side note, AndrewR I don't know your political beliefs or whatever on this forum and I really don't give a rip, but why are you trying to politicize this thread into some degenerate P&N argument? You're trying to assert that what they found isn't a cache of weapons and that the media has turned "cache" into a magical buzzword in a couple of days? As if the word "cache" was rarely used throughout history? Then you post a bunch of links from a 3 second google search, all about Iraq and all within a "few days" as your supporting data?
I'm sorry, but that is straight up idiotic.

Mabey you and buck have some long term history of disagreeing, either way it doesn't change the fact that what you're trying to say is incredibly ignorant.

Now since you were telling someone how to use google (which you apparently are not very good at), I'm going to show you something cool. Ok go into your little google screen, and put in your keyword and click news, then on the left sidebar you should see a little link called archives, click on that. It should bring you to a screen with options to search news stories throughout history. You can pick your time period and even specific year! It's pretty nifty, you should try it out.

If you click my link, you will see that the word "cache" has been used in contemporary english language media regularly for well, a long while.

Are you suggesting the word "cache" can only be used to refer to terrorist weapons stockpiles? This is a ridiculous line of argument and you sound like a moron. Do yourself a favor and don't try to shoehorn your political beefs into discussions where they have no relevance.

Brian Gourgeois: It's 106 miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.

John Popper : Hit it.

Dammit, I came into this thread with the single intent of making a "runaround" joke, only to see it taken care of in the OP. :(

I'm not suggesting that it should only be used to refer to insurgent stockpiles, only that it is currently being used to refer to insurgent stockpiles on a daily basis by every single English news organization in the world and has been for quite some time. If you fail to make that connection then I cannot help your ignorance.

My political views aren't the issue -- it's the lack of factual reporting by press organizations which irks me. Whether it's for sensationalism or political activism doesn't particularly matter to me. That it is a daily occurrence is not questionable.

Notice that the AP author also put "cache of weapons" and marijuana in the same sentence. That wasn't unintentional, and if you think otherwise, you are naive.
