The entire document is 42 pages long. I've posted a translation the first page - the cover - in post 4057 as Calpernia indicated.
I've had reservations about posting the translation because I really don't want to help these bozos out in any way whatsoever.
But in retrospect, maybe there are clues in the document that another Freeper might be able to find that might stop something. So I'm going to wait a couple of hours, and if no one has sent me any serious objections, I am going to start posting the translation. It's not going to be a flawless translation - it's not the most fun stuff in the world to translate - but it's understandable and it's not a machine read :)

>>>>It's important to think outside of the box with these guys - we're dealing with people from a different cultural perspective.
To emphasize this, when you have a moment JP, and anyone else interested, READ this whole story here. You will see how the cultural differences ended up leading to the mechanical failure going down on paper. You should be able to feel the frustration created in the sections, Conflicting Realities, The Search for a Motive, Egypt Versus the West, and Following Flight 990's Path.
http://www.theatlantic.com/issues/2001/11/langewiesche.htm I remember being in college with some refugees from the M.E. Even in classes like Math, truth was never seen as absolute. 4+4=8 was only a perspective. Quite frustrating.

In post no. 3949 you said, "(to Cindy)
can you find the one they referred to Viper?
-thanks in advance- "

Well Nemo1USA, I was researching "Cave of Darkness" and found out it was an online game. Guess what? So is "Viper." Of course Cave of Darkness probably has some more meanings, but I thought I would stop my research to tell you what I found regarding Viper.
Then there's Viper who describes himself as a "computer geek" that posts on Forums, there's a really neato flash presentation game and a regular business site for the great looking Vipers Aircrafts. Dodge sells the Dodge Vipers. Vipers are snakes. Some people eat vipers.
FYI.
P.S. Google is a great tool.

MILITARY STSATESIDE ALERT!!! THIS is how Homeland Security is going to protect us?! I personally know Rock Island Arsenal and this base is crucial to Homeland Security for all four of the Quad Cities! Check the list and see if "You" will be less protected!
Subject: Fwd: BASE CLOSURES FOR 2005
BRAC List - Just off the Press
Army bases currently proposed for closure or realignment in 2005 include:
* Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania
* Detroit Arsenal, Michigan
* Fort Belvoir, Virginia
* Fort Buchanan, Puerto Rico
* Fort McPherson/Gillem, Georgia
* Fort Monmouth, New Jersey
* Fort Monroe, Virginia
* Fort Polk, Louisiana (to realign)
* Fort Richardson, Alaska
* Fort Sam Houston, Texas
* Fort Shafter, Hawaii
* Lima Army Tank Plant, Ohio
* Natick Soldier Center, Massachusetts
* Picatinny Arsenal, New Jersey
* Redstone Arsenal, Alabama
* Rock Island Arsenal, Illinois
* Sierra Army Depot, California
* Yuma Proving Ground, Arizona
Air Force base closures and realignments include:
* Altus AFB, Oklahoma
* Beale AFB, California
* Brooks AFB, Texas
* Cannon AFB, New Mexico
* Columbus AFB, Mississippi

The Air Force will lose 2,260 military and 2,839 civilian manpower positions, and 1,055 reserve drill authorizations next year, according to the 2004 force-structure announcement released July 23. Many bases, both active duty and reserve component, are affected by the realignment. In many cases, units will gain aircraft and missions, while others will pare down.
Besides manpower reductions, the realignment formally announces the retirement of the C-9A Nightingale and KC-135E Stratotanker aircraft.
According to Air Force officials, the 20 C-9s are being retired because of reduced-patient movement, range limitations and increasing maintenance and upgrade costs. The aeromedical-evacuation mission will become a requirements-based system using all passenger-capable aircraft.
The service will retire 44 of the Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve Command's 43-year-old KC-135Es next year, replacing them with 24 KC-135Rs from the active-duty fleet. By the end of fiscal 2006, the Air Force will have retired 68 of the KC-135Es.
Naval base closures and realignments include:
* Ingleside Naval Station, Texas
* Naval Postgraduate School, California
* Naval Air Station Meridian, Mississippi
* Naval Air Engineering Station Lakehurst, New Jersey
* Naval Recreation Station Solomons Island
* Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane, Indiana
* Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division Virginia
* Navy Supply Corps School, Georgia
* New Orleans Naval Support Activity, Louisiana
* Pascagoula Naval Station, Mississippi
* Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, New Hampshire
* Saratoga Springs Naval Support Unit, New York
Marine base closures and realignments include:
* Marine Corps Logistics Base Albany, Georgia
* Marine Corps Logistics Base Barstow, California (realignment)
* Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, California
* Marine Corps Mountain Warfare School, California
* Marine Reserve Support Unit, Kansas City
* Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego, California (realign or close)

JP, I see mhking has replied to you already about Belle Isle, Michigan--I actually didn't know where it was, just had heard about it from doing a lot of genealogy.
Now I see it's part of Detroit. Very interesting. Wonder if that's the Belle Isle that was being referred to.
To: JustPiper
Thanks a bunch. :)
I really should read all of the posts...I read a few hundred of them a few days ago...but wow, you guys must have put in a couple of thousand just recently!

"Please Tonk, post this on Canteen"
Sorry, can't do.
It's of a political nature.
The Canteen is designed to boost troop morale.
These base cuts have been going on since the 1st Gulf War.
20 some years later they continue.
