I've not heard anything from the administration or congress that even approaches "justice"
Chasing some skinny punk around caves in Afghanistan? The only diplomacy should be with Russia and China to STAY the fuck out of it.
Then let some ICBMs go during prayer time towards Tehran, Baghdad, Kabul, and Damascus. Then use tactical weapons launched from B1s on any cool spots.
They need to learn that we are far more violent and dangerous than anything they read about in the koran

Colin, you seem to be racking up jobs left and right lately, I thought we were in a recession. ;) Congrats, on the new position.
I've got a sure fire way to get Bin Laden. We send him a postcard telling him he won the Jihad lottery and he needs to come to some address to pick up his weapons where a bunch of us are waiting to collect the $5 million reward. Hey, it worked on Homer Simpson. :)

Gotta agree on old Freddy there...while he has some points, he fails to back them with the final logical analysis of his thesis; relying instead on thinly veiled racism and misogyny. What's psychologically interesting is you can find yourself agreeing with him and then realize "Wait a minute...this guy is a fucking tard..."

I suspect me and Kimmy could take him with one arm tied behind our backs. Carla almost fought off the Sweet brothers dragging her to the pool - cj could do some serious "pussifying" on his butt, too. And don't get me started on what Heather could do to him!!

Fred's a moron of the first variety. Anyone who says "feminized" and means it as an insult doesn't understand anything. It says far more about his opinion of women than it does about his knowledge of the military or any warrior mindset. The guy is probably a closet case.

From one of my favorite sites, boortz.com:
*****************************
This morning a listener telefaxed me a copy of a calendar he had purchased. Every day you would turn a page in this calendar -- and every day there would be a new verse from the Bible for you to consider. The listener forgot to turn the page in his calendar Tuesday morning. He was too busy following the tragedy in New York. When he did open his calendar later in the day -- he was, to put it mildly, in for a shock. The scripture for September 11, 2001
was from The Book of Zephaniah, Chapter 1, Verses 15 and 16.
Read this .... and ponder:
15. That day is a day of wrath,
A day of trouble and distress,
A day of devastation and desolation,
A day of darkness and gloominess,
A day of clouds and thick darkness,
16. A day of trumpet and alarm
Against the fortified cities
And against the high towers.
The calendar is called "Daily Devotions from Godley Men -- Men's Devotional Bible." I understand it is available at Christian Book Stores.

I have to say Fred does make some good points even though he does not do so in a way that will win him may followers.
This country has been spoiled, we have become lazy, and weak in many ways. This is something I have been worried about myself. However, I have more faith in our country then Fred does, and I think we will see a new determination appear - this is OUR Generations great battle. We will see how we stand up when we are called upon.
Actually Sharky......he makes a lot of sense. He may be a little opinionated......but he is not as wacky as you think. He makes some very good points and we as a country have a hard time dealing with reality.

"Yes, I enjoy reading your page alot. I also enjoy Pickled Pigs Feet alot to. They are a great snack!!!. Anyway I will get to the point, you seem to know your stuff. I only know how to order a number 2 at McDonalds. Is there anyway I could
make money from Adult sites, while ordering a number 2 up sized (with diet coke), Would that require a lap-top and a satellite modem? I'm
sure if i can master the whole "Drive Through" thing, Then I could get 100k hits a day to my
website. First I have to get one. Do you think Pussy.com is taken yet? Maybe I could get Sex.com. ok thanks for you help, I gotta get a number 2 now."

Collateral damage has a new twist to it now. The ccurences of that time period had almost zero public empathy attached to it.

Of course we'll have the advantage, I was just making the point. We also have intelligence imaging systems that can read raw data and find the one brown hair on a grey rat's ass. No one can tell me we don't know where bin Laden is. We do know, he's just surrounded himself with "col-dam" that maketh for bad PR.
Also, all that tech was ten years ago...can you imagine what we've come up with since? Yeehaw.

Before Desert Storm, we were told that the US would have a hard time fighting in the desert, tanks would get stuck in the sand. The environment would be tough on the soldiers. Iraq's Elite Republican Guard were seasoned fighters. They had fought Iran for years.
40 days of air force runs changed all that.
I don't think US plans will forget the environment. It was brilliantly accounted for in 1992.

Blue sky: short explanation
Blue light gets scattered (spread) around much more than all the other colors from the sun, causing the sky to appear blue.
Blue sky: a more detailed explanation
Light is made up of electromagnetic waves.
The distance between 2 crests in this wave is called the wavelength.
White light contains all the colors of the rainbow.
All the colors in white light have different wavelengths.
Red light has the longest wavelength.
Red light's wavelength is larger than oxygen atoms are big.
When red light passed through the atmosphere, its long wavelength causes it to pass through the atmosphere without being scattered/spread around.
Blue light has a much, much shorter wavelength than red light.
The wavelength of blue light is shorther than oxygen atoms are big.
Many of the blue light waves from the sun collide with the oxygen atoms.
When such blue light waves try to go straight through an oxygen atom, its light is scattered in all directions because of this collision.
This scattered blue light is what makes the sky blue.
All other colors (with longer wavelengths than blue light) are scattered too.
Blue light's short wavelength causes it to be scattered the most.
(The shorther the wavelength of the color, the more that color gets scattered by the atmosphere)
Actually, violet has the shortest wavelength of all colors. Violet is scattered even more than blue light. However, our eyes are much more able to see blue than violet, therefore we see the sky as blue.
Very little visible light is absorbed by the atmosphere.
Blue sky: summary
Blue light's short wavelength causes it to get scattered around much, much more by oxygen atoms than the longer wavelengths of all other colors visible to us.
The blue in the sky we see is scattered blue light.

Well done, Oprano. You've got great taste in associates. Good on ya, Colin.
Did you know "paradise" just means "garden with a wall around it"? That's where they would bring the assassins, to wine and dine them, before they went on their merry way, certain that as soon as they did their deed, they would live forever in "paradise".
btw, about Afghanistan, that's the most hilly, formidable terrain ever created, except maybe San Francisco. It is it's own sort of "defense". I suggest they send in some of my cousins in Arkansas and Missouri.
On to business -- anyone have any statistics for small, retail sites on the web, without a brick and mortar presence? Three friends of mine are considering launching online shops, and was just wondering if anyone had done the legwork, so they can be lazy. :-)

Being of loquacious verbacity as well as a part-time lexiconographer, I am truly intrigued by words and their uses... So to further MikeAI's illucidations vis a vis the word "assassin", it is actually an anglicanization (yes, from the time of the crusades) of hashishin, or "hashish user", as these TERRORISTS used hashish to achive paradise on earth, even though they had been promised paradise by their religion for their murderous acts.
Funny, I don't know many hash users today with motivation to do more than watch cartoons on the couch...
