    Back to Iraq?

    We are going to have to tread VERY lightly. We have Turkey, a NATO partner, to deal with. The Kurds and Turks don't get along. Turkey could well look at us arming the Kurds as a "treaty breaker". They are already getting "chummy" with Russia. Russia would like nothing more than to start breaking...

    Where to go?

    Like I said, the business of the carrier is only related to the business of the contractor, it is not the same.

    Back to Iraq?

    That is no answer. That is the answer that has gotten us into many OTHER problems. Remember "Blackhawk Down"? How many deaths are enough to stop this on our side? On theirs? How do you intend to "care" for all the young service people who's lives are altered for good? We don't do it now, how...

    Far too many believe all you have to do is "make nice" and everything will be "Hunky Dory". It just not work that way.

    I would prefer better than that. I gave Reagan a C- . We need a "B" or better.

    Where to go?

    I will cover almost any load you have, for a MINIMUM of $2.50 per mile PLUS FSC and more for using the reefer and more if it's going somewhere stupid. LOL! I think you get the picture!

    I have to give you that one and it gets worse with each passing election. Party does not seem to matter. What we have now has made sure I am never constipated. This bunch scares the "stuff" out of me. Just when I believe that cannot do something more stupid than they did last week they do...

    Where to go?

    What is a "need" for a carrier/dispatcher is not always a good "match" for a truck. I have a TVAL truck. My carrier needs loads moved, many of those loads are loads that do not pay enough for me to load them. I want to go where I can make enough money to justify the work, my carrier needs...

    I doubt we would be the first to use a nuke. My entire experience with our nuke forces was finding was to avoid that type of exchange and a slow, steady, monitored disarmament. For the most part, the Soviets did not wish to have an exchange of nukes either. That is ONE of the reasons we fought...

    Back to Iraq?

    WE vote on those who make those decisions. WE are responsible for their actions, or lack of actions. WE, as a Nation, do not pay attention to what is going on. WE, as a Nation, have little clue what is going on in the world and, for the most part, don't wish to know. WE, as a Nation, don't...

    Back to Iraq?

    And how would you suggest we stop it? Do you REALLY believe we can drop a couple of bombs, launch a few missiles and it will stop? How far are you willing to go to stop it. This is not meant to be argumentative, it is meant to invoke thought. It is NOT as easy as it may seem. It is a very...

    Where to go?

    Always remember that dispatchers and load planners work for the carrier, not the contractor. Their business, and your business are NOT the same. Their responsibility is to the carrier, your's to yourself. Their concern is always covering 100% of the loads at the highest profit for THEM. Your's...

    Russia has been upgrading it's nukes for a long time now. I have not kept track of what has been going on with tanks/aircraft etc. IF I were working for the KGB, in a job similar to what I did at NSA, would would look at it like this. 1. The United States has a weak, ineffective president. 2...

    The article was just pointing out things that were similar. Putin does have advanced weapons. I believe that the article was more about the stupidity of the leadership in the "West" not to confront Putin than Putin himself.

    Back to Iraq?

    What do you think it will take to stop it? Genocide in Iraq or anywhere? What happens when a power like China or Russia takes it up? Both have histories of murdering 10's of millions, what then? Yes, ISIS, or something like it, WILL end up in the US someday. It would be easy since we don't...
