Timing chain????
This is getting vicious,,,you,,you,,fan belt!
No
I'll take the word of the refugees who experienced the hell in that dome over what you wish were the truth and I want every single one of the predators brought to justice, or justice brought to them.
Waiting for someone to say, "Stick it where the cam don't shaft".
although everyone would like to see it, there won't be a "Movie of the Week"...and we all know why.
They could change it like the Sum of All Fears movie and make the bad guys nazis.
That's pretty ambiguous and I had to reread it a couple of times before I realized that the army guys were not shot at by state police. I think maybe it needs a that strategically placed, thus:
among the 5 or 6 that state police shot and killed after they fired upon the Army
No. These people are animals. It isn't a race thing it is a cultural thing. My children go to a high school that is about 50% housing project. One of my son's classmates was robbed of his MP3 player. He chased the SOB's down and when he caught them, they threw him to the ground and proceded to kick him in the head. They already had the upper hand and this kid was insane for doing what he did. But they KICKED HIM IN THE HEAD. They tried to kill him.
Our prayers are with you.
I think everybody's touchy over this. Black people naturally don't want the thugs to presented as representative of black people, white people are bristling at the accusations of racism from the black community, and Republicans are fuming over the democrat scum who are pinning this on W.
My wife, who has always said she didn't want to have guns around the house, saw what happened in NO and heard about what happened in places like the retirement homes and provate homes, and has said she is ready for a firearm.
We are in earthquake country and clearly she got the message that some people are animals.
I intend on a vanity asking for what is the best weapoin for her protection. She is slight but smart. I am thinking a .25 but what has the most killing power?
Actually, I will do that now...
Folks, Sky is talking about the laws that authorize the operations of the different components of the military. Sounds like just like in Stan and Iraq, military lawyers are doing everything they can to screw up the mission.
Fortunately, while the paratroopers may not have Law Enforcement authority, DOD standing rules of engagement allow them to use deadly force to protect their lives.
You might even be able to get the JAGs to buy off on letting them shoot to protect others' lives and government property -- although that would require special ROE and by the time a bunch of slow-moving lawyers get done staffing it, engineers will probably have the levee fixed.

When Vanessa Cullington got through to the Australian embassy after two days trapped in the New Orleans Superdome, she thought she had finally found help. She was wrong.
Crying and screaming over a mobile phone, she explained to an Australian official the dangers she was facing, along with eight other Australians who had huddled together for protection.
Women among their group had been harassed and grabbed by marauding men. Faeces lined the toilet walls. There had been suicides, rapes and murders. It was "like being in a Third World country, in a maximum security prison", Ms Cullington said.
* * *
Their escape from the Superdome had to be clandestine. The tourists left in dribs and drabs, heading for a basketball arena nearby, with the help of an American sergeant.
Some survivors, angry that they were not going too, tried to pull the tourists back inside. "The last people who were walking out the door were grabbed, were screamed at," she said.

Oh, so you're my mediator, spokesperson. I don't need you to tell me to cool down, nor am I impressed with your record of "hundreds" of posts.
I'll speak for myself, I need not your chastising or self-indulgent sophistry.
I took a walk down the street tonight after dinner. A neighbor came out with some wild story off of 'Hardball' about Homeland Security turning off power to NO and forcibly halting food and water deliveries. I'm getting tired of the nonsense.
This Gen is something else. He was on speaker phone, and he lets fly. He said "I don't F--cking care! Get this here! Do that F--cking now!"
Not the most Christian approach, but he got things moving. I must say, it changed when he took charge.
We are moving tons of stuff in the next 24 hours. We are almost approaching a changing state of what the mission is. The people in NO are out, now we will change to recovering the dead, and rebuilding and reconstitution.
stifle the truth.
Our = Aussie. You've never been with a group of tourists in a foreign country?
