I'm fairly certain if England wanted to, they could kick our ass. Not in any conventional war. They don't have the economy or population base to do that. In a conflict confined to spec-ops they'd tie you up in a bundle and gift-wrap you any day of t... [Read More]
I used this as my source (http://cryptome.org/mil-dead-iqw.htm). It not only lists graphs of those killed in each month, but the names, ranks and often circumstances of their deaths. Aah, now I understand. The discrepancy was not because you include... [Read More]
Ah, you actually managed - at long last - to produce the resolution itself. I will reiterate that the demand for a roll call vote looks like an attempt to close the issue by turning it into a partisan trench war over a proposal that bears very little... [Read More]
You're still not producing the actual language of the resolution, rc. Without knowing the wording we cannot tell whether the resolution faithfully represents Murtha's sentiments. I believe that the debate is pointless until and unless you produce the... [Read More]
Mighty thin point you got there, rccar, though I notice that your taste in newspapers has improved. Without seeing the wording of the resolution it's impossible to draw the conclusion that the Democrats don't support Murtha. The fact that he himself... [Read More]
I fondly imagine the time when people are going to realise that not undergoing plastic surgery despite the affluence to do it and a less-than-perfect body actually says a great deal about a person's confidence...... [Read More]
The problem seems not to be the fact that Japan is building military muscle, but that they use the muscle they have to support the wrong initiatives. Every one of the countries and regions currently under the US defensive umbrella are going to have... [Read More]
Looks like somebody just realised the Cold War is over. Or maybe they want to hedge their bets against a US Waterloo in the future. That's certainly what the EU has been doing for the past decade or so.... [Read More]
If lots of people have them then they are unlikely to be used. Except if people like - say - W or Comrade Osama get their hands on them...... [Read More]
Based on recent US actions and statements, if I was one of the small states who wasn;t in their best books I'd be rushing to get nukes right now... and based on recent actions by korea and iran I think they have come to the same conclusion... That's... [Read More]
but if there is an underlying feeling of resentment, and then the extremists exploit that, then quite often they will gain at least some sympathy and support for their motives, even if not for their actions. The problem is that not all resentment is... [Read More]
'You're not supposed to Toilet Paper someone unless he really deserves it.' ??? Am I just being slow today, or is this some queer American slang I don't know?... [Read More]
Ha, never heard of Godwin's Law till now. Had to Google it. I don' tthink that would apply though. I was stating that if the government starts telling us what we can see/hear/play than it could get to a point like in Nazi Germany. I was not compairin... [Read More]
The govt. need not play a huge role. But they can fund this organization. It would help us considerably. Plus, if the Republican Party had the <guts, edited> to suggest such an action, it would redeem them from the disasters we've been through.... [Read More]
You know, personally I wouldn't give a jiffy if the Prime Minister of Denmark hooted like an owl if the alternative was W. I'll take an idiot over a fascist idiot any day of the week. Are you trying to make a funny, or is that some new party I have... [Read More]
Due to the atrocious way the American system works, you might as cast a blank ballot. If you're concerned about corruption, lies, and scandalous behavior, the Democans are probably your best bet.... [Read More]
I think you suffer from wishful thinking, Skin. W is too head-in-the-sand, denial-of-reality bare-faced stupid to realise that he's even got a problem. The man is delusional. Besides, no matter what he does the Republicrats are going to take a beatin... [Read More]
[...] but there is a more disturbing aspect to the CIA agent "slip" if you ask me. It's the fact that the people working for our own government to try and help our country out now know that Karl Rove and the other officials don't give a dam... [Read More]
But at least Blair hasn't managed to make any major disasters either (barring Operation Iraqi Screwup). And it's my impression that he hasn't been quite as heavy-handed as W. That has to count for something... One of the risks you run by playing heav... [Read More]
Personally, I think #8 is more likely to do the trick. #7 and #8 are equally spectacular screwups but #8 has an effective casualty count a couple of orders of magnitudes greater (effective as in vote-moving efficiency: It is common knowledge amongst... [Read More]
The problem, IMO, with the way the USSC works is the fact that they have only one panel of judges. In effect, whomever are on the court effectively are the court at the time. There simply isn't any second opinion until one of them snuffs out or retir... [Read More]
