but I still can't make out what it says on the right

It appears to say "primarily youranuom", which is really a pretty odd statement if it means what it sounds like. I think we ought not to get too excited about this, just yet.

That enraged British crowd looks to be 70/80% Muslim, and other diverse groups.

there HAS GOT to be MORE to his 180 than we are seeing

Not to turn the thread into a Ritter discussion, but there's the VERY slight possibility he's into deep intelligence and playing the game to make Saddam think he's turned on the US. I don't personally believe that, but it's a possibility.

"It may be a blessing that the Western Ports have been sealed and work stopped."

Hmmnnn.... cover for something else perhaps.
Remember that liberian ship off the coast of new york on 9/11, the seal team and the NEST team?

NOTHING but radio active drain tiles? right.

I think you are on to something.
We should be seeing some coast guard interdictions perhaps... whilst incoming deliveries, are screened.

That way the coastal cities don't panic...
Is it tin foil time?

Wow. Every single one of the pictures is completely disturbing.

Great shots (thanks diogenesis). The chanting Muslims scenes are pretty typical. No surprise that the left adores them: love to rant and rave as "oppressed people", want to tear down the established order, act emotionally rather than logically, etc.

The shots of Ritter are interesting. I think this guy is seriously disturbed. And very dangerous.

And, I hope this story shakes up the political establishment in Washington, as well as the leftist fools governing Germany and France. We are in GRAVE danger! This material was most likely on it's way to Iraq. And as is the case with most crimes, for any one discovered many more go undetected. To the idiot leftists: A smoking gun could mean an incinerated city! Of course, given that horrible event, they would all be screaming: 'Why didn't Bush do anything to prevent it!' Time for the leaders to lead and the rest to either help or take their place on the bench and shut up.

I don't think we're off base with the concerns...but we are off base in assuming that the ports are closed for reasons other than lame unions. However, the fact the lame unions are closing the ports doesn't mean that it is all bad.

Strictly out of curiousity, why doesn't it say "gemacht in Deutschland" instead of "made in Germany

See Post #73.

And then demand a multimillion dollar investigation, ignoring their role of obstruction, of course.

We need pictures of the DC protesters. Got any?


Tempers flare as a group of anti-globalization protesters argue over a flag, being held by the man at right, after a march to the site where G7 finance ministers were meeting in Washington, September 28, 2002. The demonstrators waited for several hours in the shadow of the Washington Monument with police keeping watch, before marching toward the International Monetary Fund and World Bank buildings where the lenders were holding their annual meetings.

Beats me....

Notice though, that some of the blood/injuries kinda appear/disappear or relocate from frame to frame? Maybe it's just me.

Their "protest" will cinch American and British support for elimination of Saddam Hussein's regime. If these "protesters" wanted the US to continue Clinton's policies of bumbling, deflection, and inaction, they can now count on the destruction of what they so deperately wish to protect. The evidence of the German origin of the intercepted uranium, will make Schroder look like the ass he is.

And the reason Dashole won't pass Homeland Security is because of unions. Go figure. We get a hot tip we're about to be attacked, but "sorry, Homeland Security is on strike. They want a pay raise."

Another great page on the facts surrounding Trinity.

QUOTING: Soon after the explosion, Fermi went out on a lead line tank to inspect the damage. The explosion was much more powerful than they had originally expected. The explosion was equivalent to about 20,000 tons of TNT. The land under the explosion was divided into section of destructiveness. Up to half a mile radius from the hypocenter was called the vaporization point (98% fatalities, bodies were either missing or burned beyond recognition). Everything is destroyed in this area. Temperatures almost immediately rise to 3000° to 4000° C. Up to a 1 mile radius was called the total destruction zone (90% fatalities). All the buildings above ground were destroyed. Up to a 1.75 mile radius was called the severe blast damage area (65% fatalities, 30% injuries). Large structures collapsed and damage was done to bridges and roads. Rivers were even known to flow counter-current. Up to a 2.5 mile radius was known as the severe heat damage area (50% fatalities, 45% injuries). Everything in this area had some kind of burn damage. Most of the people killed in this area were suffocated because the oxygen was used up by the fires. Up to a 3 mile radius was known as severe fire and wind damage areas (15% fatalities, 50% injuries). Homes and other buildings are damaged. People were blown around and suffered 2nd and 3rd degree burns, if they survived. The power of the bombs was inhumane and questionable. The results of the two bombs used in warfare will be examined in the next section.

I wonder what Daschle, Clinton, Kennedy and all the usual suspects thinks the reaction of the American People will be if any more Americans are harmed in the US or in other countries, or maybe the ones that are blown up in other countries don't matter or qualify as victims. If there is a strike in America watch out! I think outrage will happen and political Lynchings may occur.

These fools in our Congress think they are safe, with thier gas masks, hideaway gov't bunkers, body guards, surrounded only by likeminded people. They really believe that no matter the outcome they will be the rulers, the elite and live the high life. Not if radical Islam gets a foothold. They are cannon fodder. Fools!
