    Fridays at the Pentagon

    They go on, as best they can, just like all the wounded in all the wars before them. You do the best you can in the situation you have. You drive on. Many of them are working their asses off to get BACK on duty status. That alone says a lot. And the people of the Unites States should be...

    Eco AL-G .... PLEEEEEASE STOP IT.!!!

    Interesting. Thats the same method used by the environmentalists in the NW to get areas closed off to certain activities. They find a species (Lets say the suck toad), that is well and healthy.

    Two helicopters crash watching a car chase

    When acting as pilot in command of an aircraft, in VFR conditions, YOU are responsible for keeping separation of your aircraft from other aircraft. One or both of the pilots messed up trying to get the best shot for the news room. The guy who was being chased is a criminal, but he did not...

    Terrorist will win

    "You can’t negotiate a peace with a terrorist, there are only two options available to you, kill them before they kill you or die." 110% Correct. It is also pretty much impossible to bring someone back from that "brink", once someone becomes a terrorist. Their heads are just filled with way...

    Democrats Hide Pet Projects From Voters

    Majority of "Towel Heads" are Indian, not Arab. Big difference. Indians are Hindu. And when was the last terrorist attack in the US? Sept 11th? Seems like we are doing something right. Not that things are perfect, but we seem to be doing ok so far. Anyway, out of curiosity, whats that got to...

    Ask an Iraqi...

    Please ask them their favorite US President and why. George Bush Jr. Because he got rid of Saddam. Who was their least favorite and why. Clinton. They said he was weak and all they remember about him is negative crap about the whole Lewinsky thing.
