Man she's scum. I don't get the father, I mean you join the marines you know what the potential consequences are. Instead of memorializing his son like the hero he is he demeans our President and the mission and the Corp.

AA is designed to explode at a certain altitude. Remember the puffs of smoke in the WWII movies? What comes down is very small.

Except when they get a dud which fails to explode at altitude, and goes off when it hits the ground

Well-if outraged people call in-enough-and mention sponsors will be contacted as the only means available to demonstrate outrage...ears perk up. I believe it. And ya know-ya never know what might spark ( in ABC and NBC's case, anyway) a miniscule moment of conscience.

It feels more real to me when I do something like this along with preaching to the choir! But I sure would not want to encourage them....that is where mentioning a few sponsors and indicating that Mon the home office of each will be getting a phone call along with a sign in my car indicating companys support of dispiriting our troops might make at least one person take note. Maybe.

Harry Smith interviewing Hans Blix. Two sellouts commisserating...

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Mindful, prairie! They were very, very happy with the assessment reports = they hit their strategic targets, NO civilian targets reported hit...even by the BBC. That's awesome. Those who pretend to care about innocent Iraqis should be kissing our President and Tommy Franks right now.
