    What I find funny is that this “new coalition” isnt good enough for most people, the coalition of “the willing” that is….

    If Germany and France would have taken the US’s side in OIF, would it have then become DS2 then? Im just wondering….

    Cause with all due respect to France and Germany, and all French and German peoples on here, just because those two governments dont want to join up doest mean we have to stop the presses.

    And please, do me a favor and dont start mentioning every other little country that wasnt on the list this time, its pointless. And I wont go into why other than its just for the “publicity angle”.

    Oh, and by the way. For all of you who believe GWB made all this WMD intel up or cherrypicked it, let me just inform you.

    The Savior of the world himself, Al Gore, said Iraq was a threat when he was VP (along with his best friend Billy Bob Clinton). Now, if this whole thing was just some con thats been going on since 1991, were all screwed. But it didnt start when GWB entered office.

    I dont understand why this is so hard to understand crobato.

    The SSGN will basically act as a mobile SAM base with all of its sensors dispersed away from the “misslle site”. And instead of being hard wired into the “site”, itll be satcom, data links etc etc passing along the info from the offboard sensors. And, since the “sub missle site” only needs to know when to launch and the general location, the information needed to be passed over this network to the sub should be minimal. No target updates or anything, the offboard sensors will take care of that.

    No, we can debate if this is something worthwhile. But it isnt hardly the problem your trying to make it out to be.

    Interestingly enough Flex, you would be hard pressed to find any real Iraqi News in the US media these days. I did hear something this morning about either 2 or 3 Iraqi policmen that jumped on a bomb and it helped save some lives, only 11 died instead of 20-30 or so. But other than that, Iraq is off the radar these days here in the US.

    Now, you can make your own assupmtion as to why that is, personally I think its because things are “better” (for lack of a better term). Afghanistan is in the same situation, if you watched the news everyday it probably wouldnt come up except for once in a blue moon.

    I have to give ya credit PLA for taking so long to paint such a picture of the media in this country (Fox mainly).

    But i have to point out the holes in your store quite frankly, and they have nothing to do with Fox News.

    First, you talk about your leisurely bike ride down some wooden trail in Northern VA going to DC…..

    I don’t know how long you have been in the US, but if you, or anyone, can drive, bike, walk or whatever from northern VA down to DC, well buy a new compass please 🙂 VA is south of DC, but lets not let trivial cardinal directions get in the way of a good story. (I know this because of this pesky river called the Potomac, where they’re building a new bridge and it ties up all the dam traffic on I-95……is it done yet? last time i crossed it was June 07)

    Second, unless I’m a complete idiot, Ive lived in the DC/NY corridor for 23 of my 26 years, there are no “trails” left really, at least no Indian trails, they’ve all been turned into roads by the evil white man, but i digress.

    Thirdly, How old was this “bomber pilot” that you referred to as elderly? Because, i don’t believe there are too many “elderly” bomber pilots in the USAF that fought in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan. Now, maybe the US was doing secret bombing missions during the Iran/Iraq war and Afghanistan at the same time, and this old man had just gotten done bombing the people of North Vietnam a few years earlier(South Vietnam too, i forgot we just kill everyone).

    And last but not least…..Your comment “I don’t know if he mistook me for a middleastern or an afghan (or maybe we all look the same to him), but it was as if he wanted me to forgive him. He told me he did things that he knew were wrong and beyond unethical but did them anyways.”

    Here you are, telling this heartwarming story of this geriatric bomber pilot who bombed innocents and did wrong in Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq and he broke down in tears apologizing to you, because he was some dumb ignorant mid western red-stater (if you do live in the US, you know what a red stater is) and you chastise him because he doesn’t know your exact ethnicity or whatever the hell your problem is. He cant help it, as you said, you all look the same.

    Please, PLA, Ive read a lot of your stuff over the past few years and i don’t agree with most of it, but i respect it to a point. However, honestly, next time when thinking up a story, try not to embellish it so much….itll be more believable.

    Your story is one Ive heard a thousand times from other people, and its always the same plot, the same time line, etc etc.

    Honestly, maybe you did meet this guy, maybe this guy was an active pilot for 40 plus years…..but i highly doubt it because as i said this is a typical ploy/story people use.

    Oh, and btw, if the media is controlled by the jews/right wingers, why does the majority of the media in the US hate (disagree with for you politically correct types) the bush administration? Thats one question thats always puzzled me. Or is it that they try and play a fake….Theyre against the war and our “imperialistic” principles…..but they’re actually for it, but to keep a bit of credibility and to look good to their cronies in the rest of the world…..The fake their dislike? I’m just wondering…

    Oh and by the way, this only took 20 minutes and it wasn’t a waste of my time, i got this crap off my chest and now i feel like having a refreshing libation 😀

    I am happy to report the USS New Jersey BB-62 is docked in Camden, NJ across the river from Philadelphia, PA. I have been to it and on it a few times and I will say she is one helluva ship.

    Ya know, honestly I sometimes just have to laugh.

    But to be fair, Israel isnt a saint, never has been nor will it ever….question is….Could anyone be in their same situation? just a point to ponder..

    Also, if all it would take to get the middle east to shut the hell up would be for us to ask the Israelis to leave, Id actually be all for it, bring them right here. Problem is, with my limited ability to think, I still dont think that will fix anything, but then again, Im a limited person.
