You mean the Turks have gone?
No, they're still there but they've no boots. Prisoners, sir. We took them prisoners, the entire garrison. No that's not true. We killed some, too many really. I'll manage it better next time. There's been a lot of killing, one way or another. Cross my heart and hope to die, it's all perfectly true.
It isn't possible.
Yes it is. I did it.

As I recall it...
Lawrence sits alone all night and ponders and ponders, until a bit of dune sand sliding down from behind him gives him the sudden inspiration to sneak-attack Aqaba from BEHIND! ...all the defenses, including big guns, were installed to protect from a seaward attack! Hence, the movie's first ultra-punishing "we can't do it!" long strategic trek across open desert to achieve a war objective.

Hubig, I take a scene, chop into as many lines as there are games in a week, and then put a match-up after each line with the point spread. I intersperse some screencaps from the scene or other relevant images. And it ends up with a nice bit of found poetry to it.

One interesting byproduct of Random Road is the way it sort of unsettles the notion of sovereignty or nationhood. Time after time, the place we land's status as a "nation" is compromised or complicated or conditional enough to make the whole idea sort of take off its clothes and show how impoverished it is -- such an obvious construct by the people who benefit the most by saying what belongs to whom.

Nothing revelatory there, just nice that RR keeps the whole notion from putting on airs and acting like it has any claim to a seat by the fire.

Also: "In 2007, the existence of a new island was announced. Named "Uunartoq Qeqertaq" (English: Warming Island), this island has always been present off the coast of Greenland, but was covered by a glacier. This glacier was discovered in 2002 to be shrinking rapidly, and by 2007 had completely melted away, leaving the exposed island.[91] The island was named Place of the Year by the Oxford Atlas of the World in 2007.[92] Ben Keene, the atlas's editor, commented: "In the last two or three decades, global warming has reduced the size of glaciers throughout the Arctic and earlier this year, news sources confirmed what climate scientists already knew: water, not rock, lay beneath this ice bridge on the east coast of Greenland. More islets are likely to appear as the sheet of frozen water covering the world's largest island continues to melt""
