ran

It's not amusing, it's alarming. The more thick headed human beings swallowing extremist crap, the earlier our world will implode.

Yes it would ... in any place where people show some common good sense and are able to think a bit by themselves. We're already in "hell" son.

Oh, a fundamentalist Judeo-Christian ... how novel ... get a clue, read a book called the Bible, it's not all that nice and soft as the priest make it out to be...

nieheheheheheh

re-re-quoting

The men aren't from the French Foreign Legion as far as I know, but I didn't take the time to look into it.

The 200 troops are from a 460 men strong prepositionned contingent in Tchad, those were the only ones available in the shortest delays, other may follow, but the French logistical meens will come in handy to the NGO's and other organisations already on spot. Now it's just a humanitary mission, for the peacemaking and peacekeeping, the international community will have to move its fat ass as we're alreay quite stretched in the region (we've not yet reached the red line and we still have troops deployable in the region, but not enough to carry out any other mission than humanitary support and limited security for the refugees on the border by securing it (200 men might be a bit short to secure the 800km or so of Tchadian borders with the Sudanese Darfur).

depends of the helmet liner and the headgear used under it, compare with the guy behind

CHRONOSPHERE !!!!!! ... ok, ok I get out ...

gotta love Ghurka Security Guards .Ltd

Sandline's website (they have a more complete update in their news section) to Bals : Aegis Defence Services ... is it me or are PMC's flocking to Iraq like flies on a dead carcass ? and it seems like they're breeding as new ones are popping up at a quite fast pace. War is becoming an even more juicy business now that not only weapons but also soldiers are for sale...

Sandline's activities have ended earlier this year (mid-april) by the way.

WOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOO !!! After ousting Saddam he plans to take over the job of dictator : http://abcnews.go.com/wire/Politics/ap20040625_1215.html

This is another problem, but we can't let this go on.

Also the African Union is a good step in the right direction. African countries are NOT totally helpless, but I think this conflict is a bit too much to handle. And that the Western governments should interfere. Yes, we should interfere, but they should move their ass too, it's their fucking backyard, not ours. It's too easy to throw all the responsability on the western government, sure we have done our share to make the situation in this region of the world what it is today, but we're not the one feeling the urge do dismember eachothers with machettes

They asked for their independance, some fought for it, we did our best not to leave them helpless and ressourceless ... now, you see what happens when you let the power go into the hands of corrupt irresponsible individuals. It's not our fault if some of them have a problem with democratic institutions and democracy itself (along with human values). -edit-: not that we didn't put our share of ruthless regimes in charge, but even those haven't been ale to uphold to our own interests and their alliance without an European military presency on their soil. There's no way to fix what has been done 150 years ago or 50 years ago. All we can do is try our best to prevent them from killing each-others, to starve and to catch diseases, now don't come pissing on our boots as it's what we've been doing for decades now. The only way for these countries to stand up again is to learn some kind of self-leadership and self-assurance. Some initiative such as the ECOWAS are a step in this direction.

Belgium anyone ? And Belgium off course When will belgium commit troop then ? (backed by other logistic European meens already on spot naturally). I only see really limited comittments in Congo, Afghanistan, Kosovo and Baltic sea, I'm sure an army even the size of Belgiums's can do better.

Belgium anyone ?

Bizzaroide is "MIA", the odds to see these (one year old) betas updated are quite low ...

We already have commitments all over Africa, in the Balkans and in Afghanistan ...

the question remains : have they been updated ? do the AMX30 still lack cockpit model ?

Those are just early unfinished betas and I doub't they've been updated since the last time. Par la mÄme occasion Wolf, les images de l'AMX me disent quelque chose ... tu ne sauras pas qui a fait ces screens par hasard ? ... Check the Tiger's size and its wheels.These AMX30's normally don't have any inside model. If these points have been updated, these addons are surely newer versions then.

Cossacks games are awesome, especially for the ammount of units under your orders but also the graphisms (I just love them).

I really enjoyed Cossacks, American Conquest and their addons. Great games, i love the huge formations an dtech trees

Porn on daytime TV, but also Action Concept TV series (Der Clown, Alarm für Cobra 11, die MotorradCops, Wilde Engel) , where they don't give much of a fuck about the "ragdoll" effect A special mention for Der Clown for its simplistic yet striking and interesting approach appealing the youngest amongst us (A super-hero ŕ la German )
