Happy Birthday !

I’ll take my pint ( bought with real UK money not euro-stuff 😀 ) and raise it in a toast to The Home Guard .

“Who’s spouting prejudice? Those of us who want to preserve a long-standing national identity, culture and tradition? I want to sing ‘God Save The Queen’, I want to have a pint in a pub. I want to fly away on holiday and have croissants in a cafe – and pay for that in Francs. “

I agree 100% Snapper. I’ll get another pint as I watch this game of darts continue. Don’t get up Comet. I’ll get one for both you and Snapper. 😉

Is it me, or did this thread get hijacked and turned into EU aggression? 😀

Great Idea for the people of the U.K. that are not fond of the EU.

T-shirts that say: Battle of Hastings: Let us not forget. Never Again! 😀

The U.S. National Public Radio, reporting what appeared to be a separate discovery to the one in Albu Mahawish, said U.S. forces found a weapons cache of around 20 medium-range missiles equipped with potent chemical weapons.
NPR said the rockets, BM-21 missiles, were equipped with sarin and mustard gas and were “ready to fire.”
It said the cache was discovered by Marines with the 101st Airborne Division, which was following up behind the Army after it seized Baghdad’s international airport.

Here is the link to that info: Reuters

(some of us know that the BM-21 family is just unguided rocket artillery with a family tree that goes back to the eastern front in WWII. EP )

And information on the above mentioned weapon system here: BM-21 Info

Note: this report is unconfirmed as I haven’t heard any more about it, but it is interesting.

Good conspiracy theory Zippo.

As for Al-Jazeera: We have seen in the last few days what a great service it has provided to it’s dedicated viewers. Note: the shock and confusion of those viewers when they saw the symbolic act of that statue falling down. As if Baghdad fell by magic and there was no hard fighting anywhere in the country. Those same viewers from some local Arab countries will be even more shocked when they find out a lot of Iraqis don’t like some of their Arab neighbors for their unquestioned sympathy to Sadaam. And those same dedicated Al-Jazeera viewers may come to realize that for a “news” media outlet, it’s total coverage of this war leave something to be desired. Some of those viewers may consider not to believe one word from Al-Jazeera in the future.

Interesting theory Ink. I didn’t know you were there. Why don’t you inform us more on what fire was being taken from which location.

Typical Geforce post; over-react and if it involves the U.S. as the bad people, so much the better. If a unit is taking fire, IT WILL FIRE BACK. If I were the news media pukes, I’d get over it. They are in a war zone. News reporters aren’t anything more special than everyone else dieing in this event. If they don’t have the stomach for it, find a new job.
