Special thanks to null and void for keeping these threads running on the weekends, Mo1 for the screamer, the AdminMods for their tolerance, mhking for the video links, and, of course,...

There is no excuse for Centcom after a full 24 hrs to NOT KNOW where that blackhawk that crashed yesterday is or how many casualties there are. No excuse at all.Wow, would you fit in at the CENTCOM briefings.

For the families of that brave crew who may or may not have died (CENTCOM wont tell us) I want to know what happened.

[commish]

HEllo Ahmed .. your welcome .. good morning too you.

[Ramius]

Heard that yesterday. A swap wouldn't be unusual. We've done it since the revolutionary war.

That only works with honorable soldiers. There is no way in hell we would agree to such a thing with Al Queda. For them, all we need is their SatPhone number.

Just watched Frontline entitled "Blair's War" about the PM attempting to bridge the gap between the Bush Doctrine and the Europeans who now believe that there is no legitimate reason for the use of military action. Actually a fascinating piece. The piece atempted to show that the US will begin to decline as a power. The reason behind this though was that the US respect would decline "in the eyes of the world". The point they missed was, we don't care. The Bush Doctrine of pre-emption to ensure our security, as a direct result of attacks on our soil, has and will fundamentally change the face of the world. Leadership takes courage of conviction to do the right thing no matter what the consequences. The Europeans have never understood this concept. Their "go along to get along" attitude has launced the two greatest war in world history as well as launching two of the most murderous and evil regime's in history. The US and Great Brittain are now saying, we will not let this happen again. Looking back in history, I wonder if the French would like to retroactively apply the Bush Doctrine of pre-emption to Hitler Germany in 1936? 9/11, George W. Bush and Tony Blair have fundamentally changed the state of the world and how to deal with potential threats. Thank God for them
