It's even funnier considering during the federal election there was all sorts of whining about how uninteresting it was compared to the US.
Wasn't Clinton's emergency phone call at 3 a.m. also? I guess that explains why Obama couldn't answer the phone. You know I bet Harry Potter has something to do with this somehow.....damn limey elitist, socialist SOB.
It is a little strange that he would come out with this now. As one of the commentators on CNN said last night doesn't anyone resign on principle anymore?
I haven't thought about these memories for years a very neat experiment. I was born in September 81. I remember Reagan's surgery [January 87 they cut into cartoons]. Oliver North testifying in public [in July 87] but I'm pretty sure I didn't understand what it was about. After that probably medical waste coming ashore [I was nowhere near the ocean so not sure why].
The next major event was Pan Am 103. I remember they were doing cleanup. There was a shot of a stuffed animal with its head sticking out of a garbage bag. I can recall thinking at the time that the child was dead but wouldn't the family want to keep the toy? Hmmm maybe I can blame Gadhafi for my interest in military history and terrorism.
They were probably looking for child porn. About every month or so someone gets busted coming through the Montana/Alberta crossing with that on their hard drives.
Spray n' prey, all the way. I thought they were actually supposed to be trained to a high standard.
This completely destroys the myth of Iraqi sovereignty. After all they wanted them out and they're not.
252:Take it easy. You're not helping your case here. I'm reminded of the old expression.
"When the facts are on your side, bang the facts. When the law is on your side, bang the law. When you've got neither, bang the table."
SFWA is as usual a beautiful example of SNAFU.
Men against fire:the problem of battle command by S. L. A. Marshall contains the famous statistics about soldiers returning fire in combat. Too bad when interviewing soldiers he never actually asked them how often they returned fire. This one's been debunked since the 1980s but is still being referenced by people who should know better.
16: precisely. Just looked through half a dozen definitions of terrorism Greenpeace wouldn't qualify for any of them. That's including the US DOD definition.
"The calculated use of unlawful violence or threat of unlawful violence to inculcate fear; intended to coerce or to intimidate governments or societies in the pursuit of goals that are generally political, religious, or ideological. See also antiterrorism; combating terrorism; counterterrorism; force protection condition; terrorist; terrorist groups. "
It could be worse. Ever take a look at Conservapedia?
3:I did look at the site. Not really sure what this tacit approval means in practice. After all I rather doubt there is tacit approval for sexual explicit Harry Potter for instance. It only takes one rights holder to get mad.
I can hear the lawyers firing up their word processors.
And of course the big one.
"I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People For the American Way, all of them who have tried to secularize America. I point the finger in their face and say 'you helped this happen."
Jerry Falwell on 9/11.
"I do question the sincerity and non-violent intentions of some civil rights leaders such as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Mr. James Farmer, and others, who are known to have left-wing associations."
