Denoir, what is a CVBG? And explain more about the importance of "carrier activity". Why are they so important? That stuff is interesting to me.

No, I seem to remember reading that there ARE palestinian Isrealis in Isreal. They can and do have Isreali citizenship.

Yeah, Saddam Hussein starves his people. That is horrible. But I don't see a plausible reason to invade Iraq. I mean if he were attacking neiboring countries again, or was suddenly an overt threat to the U.S or our allies. That is an understandible reason to attack. I think the reason the U.S. want's to attack him is because we just want him out of action. He stood up Bush senior and Bush jr has made it his mission to finish what his dad started. I dunno. I just don't see a reason to attack him so immediately. Especially if it risks killing many of our armed soldiers. And I think you underestimate his military power. I don't think he is going to make the same mistakes from the gulf. Back then his men would surrendur real fast because they were miserable. I just think Saddam Hussein would realize that his men need improved morale or risk his men surrendering again or not trying hard in combat. And especially in preparation for war, I can't imagine him not improving the quality of life of his soldiers in order to mimamize attrition.

The internet, once a highway for information that was once free, it now becoming capitalized. That is what capitalism is all about, making money off whatever you can. I suppose the library is the only source for information that is free. Or soon you will have to pay a membership fee to check out books at the library I suppose.

Who here read all that?? I personally am not into star wars or star trek. I don't understand them. And reading all that probably wouln't help anyways. But my god, that is LOOOOOOONG, and dense too. It would hurt my eyes!

Who knows? All I know is USSOLDIER11B is an Army intel analyst. He must know something we don't. Regardless, I still don't believe that Saddam is supporting the terrorism. Saddam Hussein is a secular tyrant, not a fundementalist fanatic. Those two don't see eye to eye. Saddam Hussein reminds me more of Stalin than a terrorist. He runs his country with an iron fist. He is not a coward. And he would not be afraid to fight back if he had to. I think back when he was detained, he fired every round in his handgun at the arresting force that was deployed to catch him before finally surrendering. And I don't think he's any dummy. He managed to stay in power last time. I can bet he is taking every precaution known to man. Every day he is probably reinforcing his defences and readying for an attack and revising his intel. Plus, he has a good army. I'm sure he's fortifying them daily. If we do attack Iraq I couln't imagine how many men both sides may lose. Plus, who know's what he has up his sleeve. This may turn into WW3. I'm sure when it comes down to it, all the other Arab countries are going to support him rather than fight a fellow Arab state. If we do go in and it becomes a long fight, the British, Australians and French may come in. I don't know about Russia, but they are friendly with us also. Who know's what may turn out of this. But I'm sure it's gonna be ugly.

Dammit!! All I see is brunettes and a few blondes here. Noone's posting any redheads!!!

Or here's an idea! Why don't they just live in Isreal peacefully?? Hmm? Then they can pray and live at the site of their holy land just like the Isrealis do. Hmm? Wouln't that be a better idea than killing innocents for glory??

Well, then they should move out of Isreal instead of causing carnage. I can think of seveal neighboring countries that would accept them.

My roomate was like, "Hey look, I got this new game" several months ago. He just bought it because he saw it on the rack in the store and thought it looked cool. He let me try it. He lost interest and has been letting me borrow it ever since. I think he forgot all about it.

Yeah, I just saw that. That's really good news. Maybe he will develop a good security task force that is not corrupt? It's obvious Yasser Arafat cannot control his own people. Maybe someone else should. But honestly. There is no Palestine. Where are the Palestinian people living? Where is Arafat HQ? Are they living inside Isreal? How can you make a security task force when you don't have any boundaries to secure? Hmm, I never really thought about that. Maybe in Jordan or Syria?

I honestly think that the Palestinians there have NO brains or just do not care about ANYTHING. They don't know that if they cease all violence on their part, Isreal would be forced and WOULD cease all counter assaults. Isreal has credibility and can be trusted by the U.S. They know everyone is watching and are not going to do something stupid. If Isreal commits to a promise, everyone knows that they will follow through on it. It's ridiculous that the Palestinians cannot realize this and use it to their advantage to end the violence. I do not beleive that the Palestinians want a cessation to the violence. I think that they all just want to go to Allah as martyrs and that is it. They don't care if they die or get killed. They are sociopaths and crave violence for glory and that is it. It's too bad the Israelis have to suffer for it constantly.

"Ex-Ronin is no mod" Ofcourse he is. Just look at that picture under his name with the soldiers face. All the mods here have that.

What? Â I didn't bring it offtopic. Â What about Tim Leary? Â No, I was just saying I think the mod : "Ex-Ronin" must be very confused right now.

I think that maybe the mod: "Ex-Ronin" is very drunk right now. He not be making any sense.

I don't know a damn thing about cars! I want to get a motorcycle though. I think they are more interesting and easy to learn about.

"What does that have to do with the fact that Russia gave the NA some outdated harware?" What are you talking about man?

Jees!! Look at the size of those Russian AK magazines. How many rounds can be stored in one of those things?

Nothing really. There's not much to discuss here. Just my opinion.

Oops, nevermind, I didn't see Wobbles post, only GreyFox's.

I don't think this is the way ExRonin wanted this thread to progress!! LOL!!

One thing I do agree with is the fact that many Americans seeminly have forgotten about our vulnerability against attack. It's true what they say. Americans have very short attention spans. Honestly, I think there is no way for us to change our way of thought unless our lifestyle changed also. I think it is good that we can afford to be comfortable. But we must never forget the past. We still live cushy existences, and therefore forget alot about the fear of terrorism. I do think that we need to keep our military lean and mean. The more our govt and military is a lean and mean wall protecting our society inside, the more our society can afford to be soft and innocent inside. Other than that, interesting article. I havn't heard that. Isn't that an Mi-17. not an Mi-8T?

Finally, something interesting is coming out of this damn thread!

Not only that, you still need more vehicles. My favorite isn't even on there.

What is this? Another strange poll about our favorite vehicles?? Is that you in disguise Armstrong? You are Mgr Gastovski now?
