From Juan Cole (OK, OK, he's a lefty): "Recent reports I hear at CNN suggest to me that suicide was more central to this Glasgow operation than usual in such attacks. The perpetrators are said to have doused themselves with gasoline. This was not in fact like Iraq, where the idea was to take as...

They apparently had partially full jeffy cans rapped with nails (the airspace in the Jerry makes the fumes and they explode ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Even still, relatively small explosive energy and ...

It may be telling that these guys are so incompetent.....50 gal of gas in an SUV?  (that's a typical Escalade), and nails?  What they will get is a burning car with red hot hails sitting in it.  No more dangerous than a Ford Pinto. And, if they want to make these suicide attacks, THEY will be...

10 Biliion a year SHOULD pay for all the clean water and sanitation required.  Problem is waste and corruption in the FN biz.  Has Sheila Fraser ever been turned loose on this ministry?  FN need some honest leaders with courage and vision, not the same bunch of entitled crooks and bagmen.

"Watching the press conference this AM of 6 RM/RN personnel and one thing that struck me was how unprepared these personnel were for captivity. This episode shows that all personnel need to go through some form of SERE training. In captivity you have a duty to resist becoming part of the bad...

Try to get Exempt D &T for as long a pd as you can to sort things out.  If you still want to rel, no prob, but rel or going on Supp R makes it long and troublesome to return after more that 2 years or so.

I think you need to read the article to get the point.  The point is that before WW2, if you asked an American which country was more likely to go to war, the answer would be Canada.  That is a far cry from what you would hear today if you asked that question on a FoxNews e mail poll.  The fact...

http://www.lewrockwell.com/ryan/ryan31.html This is an interesting article about the fact that Canada was really a more war supporting nation than the US (esp British wars) but that that changed after Dieppe.  Some interesting ideas on what things would be like if Dieppe hadn't occurred.
