Interesting, thanks for passing on the info.
Bookmark.
Remember the longshoremen's strike a couple years ago? The ships started backing up at sea. Retailer's shelves sported apology notes. No merchandise to sell. We are critically dependent of smooth operation of seaports, trucks and rail transport to move Asian produced goods to our markets. A simple attack on the west coast ports would have a severe effect. Direct attacks against the container vessels would place the safety of that means of transport in question.
Mainstream media here in Charlotte still 'tiptoeing' around this....don't want to offend any islamofascist terrorists...
Thanks to Neosgirl at TB2K for pointing this out.

I guess I missed it, it's hard to remember everything posted here. :)
Compiling a list is a good idea if anyone wants to do it. I would do it myself, but I am about to run very low on time with school starting in a few days. If you or anyone else does compile a list, I will gladly add it in to the thread. I have made some changes for the next thread that should make things easier to reference and that would be a great addition.
you're all set, the new thread will be put up later tonight.
Looks like you are right. I didn't even catch that it was a map below the writing myself till I saw it posted here.
