TRIVIA
5 parachutests (most all military or ex-military) dressed as Soviet soldiers were blown as much as a mile off course during the initial invasion drop scene. One (Jim Fisher) ended up pleading for his life with the locals when he was stuck in a tree and had to shout, "Please don't shoot me. I am not a Russian soldier!"
A mass murder took place at a San Ysidro,CA McDonalds weeks before, and for this reason, a scene where russians were eating at a McDonalds is striked from the final version.
1st PG-13 film.
The portrait of Ghengis Khan in the classroom at the beginning is the director, John Milius.
Yes, Piper,
Iran + Russia + Nuclear = Communism
Nothing has changed, the old cold war is just glowing a little more brightly.
How many communists do you know?
More commies than American's ?
More on the cruise ship
Gambling cruise ship on fire in Fla.
The Associated Press
5/16/2004, 2:44 p.m. ET
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) A fire broke out Sunday on a gambling cruise ship, sending about 160 people on board scrambling for the top deck, officials said. No one was injured.
The fire on the SunCruz Casino cruise ship was reported in the engine room about half an hour after it left for a five-hour sail from nearby Hollywood, the Coast Guard said in a statement.
Helicopter news footage showed people standing on the outdoor top deck of the ship, wearing life vests. Smoke or flames weren't visible.
The ship the SunCruz V, a 160-foot vessel that could hold 560 people was being towed to Port Everglades so the fire can be extinguished, officials said. Petty Officer Anastasia Burns said the ship had not been evacuated.
Eight rescue boats, two firefighting tugs and a Coast Guard helicopter were sent to help.
The cause of the fire was unknown. An investigation was planned, Burns said.
City Stages Mock Explosion In Subway
Over 1,000 People Take Part In Drill
POSTED: 12:29 pm EDT May 16, 2004
NEW YORK -- City officials staged a mock explosion in a lower Manhattan subway station early Sunday, simulating an incident with 200 people injured and 40 people killed to test protocols and communications among emergency personnel from multiple agencies.
Over 1,000 emergency personnel from city, state and federal agencies swarmed the Bowling Green subway station on the far southern tip of Manhattan -- just blocks from the World Trade Center site -- in response to the staged attack.
Citing the recent train bombing in Madrid, Mayor Michael Bloomberg characterized the simulation as a drill that has become a necessity.
"The public has a right to get the best protection we can provide," Mayor Michael Bloomberg said after the drill. "We have to make sure we can get the right people and the right equipment in place as well as possible."
The scenario, dubbed "Operation Transit Safe," tested emergency workers' ability to deal with hundreds of wounded people trapped in debris, and provided a yardstick for how to improve coordination among the several agencies that would respond to such an incident, Bloomberg said.
It was the sixth drill of its kind since late 2002 and was funded by a grant from the federal Department of Homeland Security.

Strong explosion heard in central Baghdad
The Associated Press
5/16/2004, 7:22 a.m. ET
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) A strong explosion was heard in central Baghdad on Sunday, and large pillar of smoke rose near the Green Zone headquarters of the U.S.-run occupation.
It was unclear what caused the blast, which was heard about 2:40 p.m, or whether it was in the controlled zone. The smoke could be seen rising from the west side of the Tigris River.
A rocket struck the Green Zone on Saturday, wounding one U.S. soldier and one civilian, the U.S. military said.

Joy Junction Director Jeremy Reynalds
Profiled on CNN's Anderson Cooper
for his Attempts to Catch Terrorists
Long time Albuquerque resident Jeremy Reynalds is best known for his work with Joy Junction, the shelter for homeless families he founded in 1986 and continues to direct. However, there's another side of Reynalds that is not quite as well known as a terrorist hunter.
For the last 21 months Reynalds has investigating a number of Islamic terrorist web sites, many of which are hosted by American Internet Service Providers.
Most recently Reynalds has been looking at a Yahoo hosted group called Global Islamic Media (GIM), which some experts believe is a mouthpiece for the al Qaeda. After the recent tragic beheading of Nick Berg, there were several links from this site to where copies of the execution video could be found. In addition, prior to the train bombings in Spain there was "chatter" on the GIM site discussing the then upcoming incident and after the attack there was even more talk about what happened.
The CNN segment looked at Reynalds' attempts to get the GIM site taken off line. Interestingly, Yahoo did not respond to requests for comment by CNN.
Reynalds said, "Some people wonder what the director of a homeless shelter is doing trying to apprehend radical Islamic terrorists. That's an easy question to answer. Above anything else, Joy Junction is a faith based ministry which shows the love of Jesus Christ in spiritual and practical ways to the many homeless women and families who come to us looking for help. Unless we start taking the fundamentalist Islamic agenda seriously and realizing that its ultimate goal is to impose shariah (Islamic) law over the entire world, we'll be in trouble. We won't be able to have faith based ministries like Joy Junction they'll be illegal. People need to understand what's going on here"
