Afternoon Snippy, so glad you liked it. Thanks so much.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Hi Sam. I know, the scenery is gorgeous. I'd love to go there just for the weekends.

[SAMWolf]

Thanks larryjohnson. I just noticed that I have Texas listed and there's no one under it. DUH!!

Don't know how I missed that.

Good Waaaaaaaaaay afternoon.
Sorry for being out this long.
Errands and such.
Ugh!

[snippy_about_it]

Thanks okay, not much going on, pretty quiet Sunday around FR today.

[Darksheare]

That's pretty much par for the course for today, yes.
Got back to find someone cannot understand english and is misrepresenting what I said on another thread.
Hopefully he actually reads what I said and gets a clue.
Not likely though.
*chuckle*

[snippy_about_it]

Some people just read too fast and don't slow down enough to pay attention before they reply. I know you'll do fine at straightening it out.

[Darksheare]

*Snerggle*
For some reason there seems to be a translation dialation field where I can write in plain english and the guy on the other end seems to refuse to understand what's being said.

Has happened before at more than one time, and I never understand what is so difficult.
*scratches head*
Do fine at straightening it out..
I usually end up somehow watching it get much worse.
Much, much worse.

Re Bingaman the junior senator of New Mexico:

He allowed Clinton to put Charlie Trie on the Bingaman Commission to Beijing.

Trie had just dumped a half mill in illegal donations on Middleton's White House desk.

During Taiwan crisis of 1996 Trie's "Dear President" letter (pages 112-3 Gertz Year of the Rat) blackmailed Clinton to back off the carriers or lose ChiCom dough.

Bingaman blocked access to staffer Stephen C. Clemons' incriminating letter vis a vis Trie appointment to Bingaman Commission.

I spoke of it on conference call with two of Burton's counsels: pure protocol prevented access: House (Burton) could not force Senate (Bingaman) to produce documents.

Anne Bingaman (after crucifying Bill Gates, leading engine of US GDP) made record two mill lobbying FCC behalf of Global Crossing.

Global Crossing dumped to turn McAuliffe's 100K into eighteen mill.

Global Crossing bought by Li Ka-shing of Hutchison Whampoa Ltd., a PLAN crony.

Bingaman and wife are dangerous to the Republic.

There is no sign his service prevented him from participating in the Clinton butchery of the military, cutting divisions in half, ships in half, air wings in half, while also cutting counterintelligence and counterterrorism to Boy Scouts escorting old ladies across street.

Mere service is not a good indicator: Kerry was more inspired in his Hanoi Jane in drag routine, Clark provided the fifteen pieces of armor and the enlisted personnel and the CS/Methyl Chloride to kill 80 US citizens including women and children.

Clark also killed 2,000 citizens in the Kosovo wag the dog, which gave Russia an F-117, gave China a foreign devil (Embassy bombing), almost started WWIII (ordering Jackson to attack the Russians at Pristina, so depleted the cruise missile stocks as to cause the conversion of the only 500 nuclear cruise missiles, distracted from the Cox Report and Impeachment.

I am all for our U.S. legislators serving, and so have drafted H Res 1010-321 calling for the Selective Service Administration to conscript all 535 U.S. legislators the first business day in October 2004 and send them into Tikrit.

Senator Clinton and Senator Schumer will walk point--but without those nasy assault rifles the other troops carry.

Blood of tyrants takes on a new connotation.

[SAMWolf]

Good Evening PhilDragoo.

You're right, serving doesn't guarantee respect for the military or our government. It's interesting though to see how the numbers have declined though. With the all volunteer force those numbers will decline even more.
