I hate to say it Rob, but that sounds a bit Wiigay

That's no exotic dancer! I've seen exoctic dancers in my day, and that is definitely not one of them I can see the ballet dancer going either way, it just depends on which way I want her to go

Nice find K! @Mitth: Definitely still interested in ZW2, just a little busy tryin' to keep my head above water with all of the OT at work

Bummer

Won't it work on Image shack?

That's correct Tofu, "look how Vietnam turned out". If politicians would stop sticking their noses in where they're not wanted (i.e. politicians feel they're important, therefore it's their right to micro manage the military), then Vietnam could have turned out much differently. That was one of the main points made by Stormin' Norman during Desert Storm; politicians STAY OUT! No one knows how to better run the military, than the military. And look how that turned out That's right, Tex. Let the military do their own thing without any oversight. Look how well that worked for the government of Pakistan, installed by a military coup.I'm not sure how Pakistan compares to the US in terms of gov't (sounds like apples and oranges). But, if it works ...

That's great J! Yours or a find?

And look how that turned out Look how much money the US pumped into Germany & Japan after the WWII. There's not too much difference between then and now; Iraq needs their civilian infrastructure restored also: power plants, homes, hospitals, schools, sewage planets, roads, water supply, etc. The people of Iraq are getting the same help as the Germans and Japanese did. Their despot of a leader had about a gnat's ass worth of concern for his people, and it shows. So, support the troops by supporting the Iraqi people! You help them, and they'll help you (as is being found out, but that doesn't make the headlines; and it's especially not good news for the Democrats).

My congratulations (and condolences) to you Mitth! (you'll figure the other part out a little bit later in life ). So, when is the big day? Probably not sure yet, and waiting until after graduation and getting a job; good choice! I'm happy for you and Bruja!

You can thank the crazy, flaming (American) liberals (controlling the Democrat Party) which control the majority of the US Senate & Congress for that mess. They're a bunch of self-centered power hungry twats who care nothing about anything, but themselves (of course this argument could be made about "most" politicians ). They'll piss on a fire ant mound to cause a comotion just so they can hear themselves yell, scream and argue about it (then they'll pass some stupid motion condemning the ants ).

Than finally pull all your troops out of any european country, especially of germany. We don´t need them anymore here after the cold war is over. Thanks for the help. But those garrisons are much too important for any US-Governments. I would agree with you on that Eagle, but unfortunately the PTB (powers that be; the European governments) don't. The local economies would take severe hits should the inflow of American dollars ($) cease. The hundreds of millions of dollars that get spent on housing, gas, food, transportation, and the dozens of service industries by American military personnel and their families would bring economical turmoil to the region. I'd rather have that money spent either here in the US or redirected to other domestic projects. But, I'm willing to accept it because it makes other countries leaders (Khadify in Libya for example) think twice if they know American military forces are stationed nearby. It's a huge responsibility that the US is willing to take to make the world a better place to live for everyone.

I think China learned that lesson; that'll be the next tough nut to crack As for the American missiles in Eastern Europe, I think SOCL took care of that. Otherwise, I say pull 'em and let Europe fend for themselves. The EU is a big boy now and quite capable of taking care of itself (if that's what they really want).

tryin' to tell us something Mitth? Something for the "mad scientist" inside us all

FYI - the passing of a Great American yesterday (you know him; not from his name, but from his deeds ). Adios 'til later good buddy ...

Hey J, are you using one of those voice recognition systems to do your posts, or do you have a "special" version of the game? interphase? ... interface ...

Sorry Eagle, but it appears your link got toasted

Arrrrgh!! The Fates be against me! I just need to figure out what crazy word I typed that wouldn't be accepted in the "Soviet Union" thread $%^& (*$%^ @*$$%^

We can't even get GL to give us the source code for a 10+ year old obsolete, lowest in sales computer game called Rebellion, and you want us to do what? Don't worry about W, he'll take care of things the way they should be without bothering with the feelings of nay-sayers and whiners. You want to worry? Worry about some flaming (American) liberal like "Billary" winning the presidency. She'll run this country down the shitter quicker than a box of chocolate laxatives at a Chili cook off. (*** I have more to say, but this crazy thread won't take my post if I type it all ***) But I'm a guessin' your not from around these here parts, and this might make you happy

But Def, they are "the greatest generation" because of the war (at least that's what most Americans think). Never have so many young (at the time) people took on such a great responsibility to right a wrong, on a global scale. Their self sacrifice was phenomenal! (if only I was younger at the time) Now, go apologize to your grandmother and ask her what she and her family did during "the war", and just sit and listen. That's your penance Oh, and what did you have for dinner and dessert?

Well, I thought they were going to win myself A ghostly Knute Rockne must have advised Wade Phillips at the last minute

I noticed this over the weekend (Saturday to be exact). So, now using my dark side powers ... I will log off! Check the HOME page if you don't believe me To log out, go to the FORUMS pull down menu and "click" PRIVATE MESSAGES. Now you have access to the "log out" button (<== highlight for the answer)

Does this mean you'll never logout J?

I take it you haven't been to the Red Cat in Basel then?
