    India buys russian aircraft carrier

    This may answer your question: "On the 3rd of December 1971, the Pakistani Air Force (PAF) struck a number of Indian airfields in northern India. By midnight, India was officially at war with Pakistan. Two weeks later, the war was over. The Indian Army had overrun erstwhile East Pakistan (Bangladesh) and taken 93,000 POWs. It was one of the swiftest military campaigns in recent history. Indo-Pakistani relations deteriorated when civil war erupted in Pakistan, pitting the West Pakistan army against East Pakistanis demanding greater autonomy. The fighting forced 10 million East Pakistani Bengalis to flee to India. When Pakistan attacked Indian airfields in Kashmir, India attacked both East and West Pakistan. It occupied the eastern half, which declared its independence as Bangladesh, on Dec. 6, 1971. Under great-power pressure, a UN cease-fire was arranged in mid-December, after Pakistan's defeat. Pakistan lost its eastern half, an army of 100,000 soldiers, and was thrown into political turmoil. " I doubt things have changed drastically since then. As Pakistan armed with more modern weaponry, so has India, and at a greater rate. India also outnumbers Pakistan by a great deal. It's just going to continue going downhill for Pakistan in the future.

    Who´s going to win ?

    Holy crap! You're right! Bush really is the antichrist after all!  Even though you're joking, in everything you mentioned after WW1, the Bush family was involved in covertly and overtly. For instance, while George Bush Sr. was a fighter pilot fighting the Japanese, his father Prescott Bush still made some money on the side financing some of Hitler's companies. That's a well known cliche by now I guess... but that doesn't make it untrue. Fast-forward to Vietnam, Halliburton was already there getting no-bid contracts and overcharging taxpayers. Bush figured if he could get into the CIA, he could really start moving the money around because the CIA's  budgets could be classified. The silly voters would never even know where their money was going. Meanwhile in the middle-east, the Bush family is busy making oil and real-estate deals with the Bin Ladens and other Islamic terror leaders. Later they make a deal with a guy named Saddam, and give him free reign to gas those evil Iranians. They'd be sure to get rid of him once they didn't need him anymore though. Then there's their South American operations with the right-wing narco-militias and various dictators. Similar things go on in Southeast Asia and Pakistan. The key thing to remember here is that the Bush family and their allies involved in all this did much of it through private business dealings, behind the scenes, even while people like Carter and Clinton were in office. It's business, but it involves things like terrorism, war, and drug smuggling... that's national security I'd say. Reagan probably wasn't lying when he said he didn't know what the hell was going on either, because Bush was the one that did it! Nice how you threw in the word jihad there. Start throwing the crooks in jail as fast as you can round them up. Don't tell me they're irreplaceable, that's exactly what they'd like you to believe. Gee, that would be woefully ineffecient, wouldn't it? Why, stockholders might actually lose a great deal of money in the short term. They'll lose alot more than money if this keeps up.

    It's important not to re-elect Bush so that we can have an unbiased investigation of 9/11, Bush's WMD claims, Enron, Halliburton, the Anthrax mail attacks, and all the other "mysterious coincidences" that have happened after Bush forced his way into office on behalf of his father's corporate empire of evil. I don't expect much from the Demorats, but I really do hope to see a real investigation of 9/11 without the Bush administration interfering. I'd be happy if Bush was in even one live debate that wasn't rigged or scripted. Everyone was too busy laughing at Gore to notice what Bush was really saying, even I supported Bush at that point. He (they) fooled us all.

    Bush´s reelection campaign perls

    Clark is the guy who ordered NATO troops to attack the Russian peacekeepers in Kosovo. Clark Tries to Start WW3 Clark is also known as the "Perfumed Prince" in military circles because of his reputation as being a brown-noser and bureaucrat. Don't forget Kerry is a veteran too, and has more political experience than Clark. Clark just strikes me as someone who would be a pawn to the same people that Bush works for. I don't think he really cares about domestic interests and is mainly interested in foreign policy; namely, taking over for Bush in attacking the rest of the planet. I thought Dean was good up 'til now, but he's starting to look kind of phony lately. Not sure who I'd vote for yet, but it ain't going to be Bush, Clark or Lieberman.

    The Middle East part 2

    Yes, it is art, and no fascist Israeli ambassador has the right to attack it, especially in a sovereign nation.

    Why are the terminator games

    Once the studios get their hands on your creation, they'll milk it for all it's worth. As long as it can recover its cost, they'll keep putting it out, they don't care about integrity, it's all about the $$$. If the marketing department decides they can pull it off, they'll make Terminator 4 a musical if it'll make more $$$.

    The Iraq Thread 2

    Just verifies everything the "conspiracy theorists" have been saying. The invasion of Iraq you're seeing today was supposed to happen back in 1991. Bush Sr. just couldn't get the leeway he needed with Old Europe's NATO along, and all the Islamic countries insisting that Iraq not be occuppied by the US. Now with 9/11 and the Anthrax letters, Bush had all the moral excuses he needed to go in alone. That's besides the fact that he knew there was no WMD, and lied to Congress about it. Is lying to Congress, and presenting false evidence an impeachable offense, btw? Let's not forget Tony Blair too.

    The Iraq Thread 2

    No they did not. Does the term "no-bid contract" mean anything to you? Sure Halliburton was best for the job, Dick Halliburton is vice president! But this is all old news now. Halliburton was caught red-handed and thrown out by the Pentagon. They are crooks, they were caught, it's a fact. Maybe Bush honestly didn't know, maybe he did. But why should we blindly trust this man with everything? We need independent groups watching over his every move, keeping track of all the documents, and someone definitely should take account of how our money is being spent. You mean it's YOUR money paying for it, if you're a US, or British taxpayer. So it's in YOUR best interest not to get screwed over. Bush and co. are getting rich either way, they already got their money out of YOUR pocket. Oh, they'll have their own government, but it's not going to be the puppet government Bush wanted.

    Anyone play combat mission?

    Exactly. In CMAK I thought they made the American armor too good, then I tried playing some of the Italian missions as the Americans and had my Shermans easily shot up by Stugs and Panzer IV's. It's definitely not just about armor penetration, I think it's more to do with morale, crew quality, and who gets the first shot. Poorly trained crews have delays between their reactions, and panic easier. They also bail out alot quicker, when a better trained crew would ride out the damage.

    The Iraq Thread 2

    1/1/04 The Iraqi Mujafedaqaeda Saddam Pep Squad shot down another Blackhawk in Iraq. I haven't seen an article about this yet, but it was on Fox News TV today. They called it a "forced hard landing", but you know what that means. No word on casualties yet.

    Questions about writing a mod onto a cd

    Forget about CDs, you'll go bankrupt when you have to make 5000 of them in one week. Then don't forget packaging and actually mailing the things. So either find some place to host it, or you'll have to cut down on stuff... and still find some place to host it. Definitely cut down on the music. 350mb of addons is a little much, find some way of cutting that down too. Also, stick to popular addons because most people will probably already have them downloaded. Maybe you should ask in the addon forum what addons people want in this campaign.

    Custom skys

    Yes, there's been progress. I've been trying out a bunch of different versions. I'm almost finished. Here's the latest overcast sky, at 7:30am on Feb 4: I'm still working on the top part of this one, which shouldn't take much longer. It installs the same way Kegetys' sky installs, so you can use mod folders.

    T12um1 black eagle released

    I don't want to nitpick too much, but the Black Eagle has an AA machine gun on the top right of the turret. The reason you don't see it in the photos is because the tank shown there is a prototype without all systems and weapons installed. There will definitely be an AA machine gun or cannon on this tank in the final version. I don't think this is even 100% accurate, because they're probably going to put countermeasures on it like the Arena system. So the back part of the turret is still pretty much all speculation.

    Yep. Enron was one of Bush's energy policy "advisors". All the corporate crooks hang out together I guess.

    Musharav escapes bomb blast.

    The typical South American dictatorship didn't have nukes, or harbor Bin Laden. We should have invaded Pakistan instead of Iraq. I dunno what Bush is pretending he is doing in Iraq (stealing oil I guess?), when Pakistan is a genuine threat, full of WMD and terrorists. If/when Al Qaeda finally succeeds in assassinated Musharraf, all hell is going to break loose over there and the US won't be in any position to do anything about those nukes thanks to all the wasted effort in Iraq. Maybe India will just nuke them first.

    Who runs the wars?

    What were you expecting him to say before the war?!? "Yes, we have WMDs, come right in!" That's what weapons inspectors are for. You know, the ones that didn't find anything. Btw, Halliburton just filed for bankruptcy protection because of their asbestos suit settlement. Now consider this, without the Iraq war and those no-bid thefts, Halliburton would literally be bankrupt right now: Halliburton Files For Bankruptcy Protection I guess when they're not busy killing Iraqis, they're busy giving people cancer.
