Incidentally, I wonder what Michael Moore will have to say about this. I'd love to see it - he's going to be so disappointed....  ;D

Yes, it's a slim majority, but Kerry received 47-48%. Furthermore, Bush is the first president to receive a majority of votes since his dad did it in 1990. Clinton never managed it.... And there (probably) won't be the litigation and controversy surrounding this election due to this majority...

There won't be a tie. Ohio awards its 20 votes as a block, without splitting them up. One of the candidates will win the state, and that candidate will win the election - Kerry would have 272, or Bush 274. Building on Bograt's point, since the House and the Senate appear to both be solidly...

Ouch! Shot myself in the foot. Good catch, Paramedic. My apologies....  :salute:

How did our government (and the British and South Africans) allow these graves to deteriorate to this point? I guess the war in SA happened so long ago, those 261 men dropped off the desk, so to speak.... This is saddening.

Paramedic, you make some good points, but the coherence of your argument is lost in your grammatical and spelling errors. My eyes are huting.....  :crybaby:

Cheney pulling Bush's strings? Please......... This argument appeals to people because it plays to our pride - we all like to feel better / smarter than someone else, right? And the idea that the President of the United States is a foolish simpleton, who can't string a coherent sentence...

Really? I had no idea.... Here's hoping it catches on.

What is it with people trying to influence others' elections these days? 2000 saw Raymond Chretien publicly backing Gore on behalf of the Canadian government (before he was slapped down)... 2004 saw Michael Moore throwing his two cents into our election about Stephen Harper, and has seen a whole...

I like Sir John A too... He drove Confederation, fought for it, held it together afterwards.... We might not have a Canada if it weren't for him.

Put that way, Kirkhill, I see the point. Getting back to the AAD topic, has the CF done anything to integrate the airspace picture between the Air Force, Navy, and Army? Is there a means or network currently in use / development which could tie the three services together to fight on the same...

Hilarious. Can't wait for more.... :salute:

Thank God it wasn't worse. Is Washington a death penalty state?

Disclaimer - I know little about maritime affairs... I'm just thinking about capabilities here. Feel free to cut my opinion apart  :warstory: I like a_majoor's concept here, though the MCDV hull and the container ship are not the best platforms. Here's another idea: 1. Come up with a common...

Not so silly, I think. If he dies outside the West Bank, will the Israelis allow his body back in? They'd risk international condemnation by refusing... Caesar - nice summary of his "pigheadedness." Agree totally....

Could you provide a source for this information? I haven't heard of this happening here - or are you talking about events in the US?

Arafat headed for Paris hospital: doctors Last Updated Thu, 28 Oct 2004 12:29:58 EDT RAMALLAH, WEST BANK - Yasser Arafat's doctors have decided to send the ailing Palestinian leader to hospital in Paris, France. The announcement came shortly after Arafat's wife Suha arrived in the West Bank...

I'm sure they'll show up sooner or later.  :skull: Just better not be in downtown Calgary...

This question was already answered: To elaborate on ex-Dragoon's most recent point: I haven't fired my rifle live in two years. I have soldiers who haven't done so since basic training. I can't take my troop to the range because of a lack of small-arms ammo - we have to use simulators (which...

Remainder of the commonwealth still wears it on the beret! Yes, but the poppy they wear is also significantly different. What I'm trying to say is that we in Canada have already modified the tradition slightly, by using the stylized felt-stamped poppies we wear today. So another modification...
