(2007-10-12) In the midst of a push by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-CA, to pass a resolution labeling the Ottoman (Turk) Empire genocidal for the death of 1.5 million Armenians in 1915, House Republicans have introduced a bill condemning the Roman Empire for the wholesale slaughter and domination of most of the known world from about 41 B.C. to 476 A.D.
Rep. Pelosi, who often refers to her Italian heritage, called the GOP move nothing short of a hate crime and a cynical effort by Republicans to overshadow what could be the first significant accomplishment of the Democrat Congressional majority.

You have that exactly right. The Dems don’t have the guts to come right out and cut off funding instead they will strangle our troops in the field by denying them the means to rapidly resupply them. What cowards!!!!!!!!!

If Pelosi’s dirty trick works and the Turks cut off our use of their air space to re-supply our troops, then she should be censured for treason and booted out of congress..
TREASON - This word imports a betraying, treachery, or breach of allegiance.
“The Constitution of the United States, Art. III, defines treason against the United States to consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid or comfort. This offence is punished with death. By the same article of the Constitution, no person shall be convicted of treason, unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court. “

Scrappleface is consistently good. Usually, the headline alone is the money idea.

Ever wonder what is the difference between a fort and a fortress?
A fortress has breastworks. Look it up.

No need to sell them the trusty Sopwith and the aerodynamic secrets it contains, old bean. We'll sell them bombers! The Handley Page bomber can defend itself against all comers now that we have added the twin Lewis Gun mount. Gunners should provide their own gloves and goggles. A small ball peen hammer isn't an altogether bad idea, either. Can be used to clear stoppages.
O yes, do try and direct fire away from the empennage while engaged with the enemy.

The Romans were all-around great guys until you stepped out of line and then, Vae Victis, baby!
Ironically, "vae victis" was something said *to* the Romans by the Gauls after they had sacked Rome.
