I guess this ceremony can be described as being grandiose: large and impressive, in size, scope or extent
To: Fishtalk
I heard the announcers say there are 1.3 billion. With that kind of dedicated work force, they can pretty much accomplish anything they put their minds to.

For the most part the soldiers are gone until the flag raising near the end of the show now.....then they return in all their goose stepping glory...just a forewarning.

And the East will war with her. Take a good look folks at what Israel will face in the future.....These chinese are scary! Awsome drum show though! God Help us!

I am not watching this but I ewas flipping by. I noticed Bob Costas said the NBC has a “china advisor” talking about or explaining various things going on during the opening ceremony. Gee its too bad there was not a souther advisor for the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. NBC could have hired Lewis Grizzard. I believe he was still alive in 1996.

My responses to some of your comments:
Communism works for those on the receiving end.
China doesn't involve themselves directly in wars, they provide weapons, etc. to our enemies behind the scenes.
If they don't care what goes on in the rest of the world, why are they so intent on spying on the rest of the world, gaining our military and missile secrets?
From what I understand, China takes the children who show Olympic potential away from their families, and send them to training facilities.

Poor London. How are they going to top this? Have you seen their horrible logo?

Yeah, I'm sure the President is going to just ignore everything happening in Georgia for the next two weeks...or will he only do that if we Americans cheer for our athletes?
Our government will do what they should in regards to the Georgian crisis. Seriously, let's all get a...
