He gave up a lot to join and he did it for patriotic reasons.  I hope the investigation sheds some light and gives his family justice. When will we learn not to cover up!

Here is the full article.....fair warning  " leftleaning author" The Meeting That Never Was: Pat Tillman and Noam Chomsky  by Dave Zirin   "I don't believe it," seethed Ann Coulter. Her contempt was directed at a September 25 San Francisco Chronicle story reporting that former NFL star...

From a blog on Tillman : The very private Tillmans have revealed a picture of Pat profoundly at odds with the GI Joe image created by Pentagon spinmeisters and their media stenographers. As the Chronicle put it, family and friends are now unveiling "a side of Pat Tillman not widely known--a...

Neither. He inherited a good pile of moolah, and contine growing it... I know...I was trying for dripping sarcasm but it was at the end of a good Happy Hour so...... Yes, he was a son of a wealthy owner of Canadian Brewers (never a bad trade in this country!)  and , aside from the normal...

Quote from: WarmAndVertical on July 15, 2007, 16:25:06 .....this from someone who hasn't likely done a speck of physical labour for himself in his lifetime.  cut and dried. So Conrad Black inherited all this wealth? No, he dug ditches to make it to the top. It's all about Scheudenfruede and...

I don't think you are ever going to see strong support from the major, old-line EU countries. As has been stated by others in many threads, they are too busy pandering to Arab factions/countries within and outside their countries. They are standing there making noise, but not really doing...

  Obstruction of Justice?  How naive,  the guy's just defending himself from persecution;  do you really expect him to say  "Here's proof I did what you accuse me of,  lock me up and throw away key"??  The scales of justice are certainly imbalanced - in fact tyrannical comes to mind No, there...

Good article here on Brit Generals warning on Afgh and the repercussions of losing.....Pakistan could be lost to terrorists (and their nukes). http://observer.guardian.co.uk/world/story/0,,2126817,00.html?gusrc=rss&feed=12 Nato needs to get serious about Aghn

"There is a fear among conservatives in the US that the US,Mexico and Canada are moving in the direction of something like the EU. No borders, one big country. The founders of the EU have acheived something that Hitler and Napolean had failed to accomplish - a European empire." There is a fight...

If this is WW3 (or 4)  then we should treat it like a world war.  The US shouldn't have 150K in Iraq, they should have 1 million and 150K!  The Principles of War and the Powell Doctrine and any professional military person will tell you about the criticality of overwhelming force.  This current...

"I vote that the war effort is undermanned/underequipped/underfunded. The public is not hearing this. We have to tell them step up and pay what it takes to succeed or we will fail. The fact is that we give a crap about the Afghani's and the public doesn't. " Nemo  I  agree but I think it is the...

I happened to listen to Lowell Green's radio show yesterday and he blamed the high cas count on Cdns not having hy lift hel cap due tohe Liberals. While it is true we would be sending F Ech off on msn using hel in lieu of vehs, we still have cbt sp convoys, CIMIC, all the other types of tpt and...

With the latest cas fugres, we have overtaken the Brit cas count in Afgh and the press are questioning (and MGen McKenzie) why we are taking the brunt of the hard work there.  Maybe, if the other NATO countries (most) don't want to step up to the table, Canada's approach should be:  We'll stay...

No, not that one. I heard it again on CFRA online news. It seems there were suspicious packages left near a DND bldg in east end Ottawa....Innes St, I think. Not NDHQ, but another DND bldg....and they only contained books and some other items.  So, not a big story, I guess.  Might turn up online...
