I heard they will award olympic medals prior to the actual events, to “encourage” the athletes. After all, real accomplishments don’t mean much. /sarc

anything “that reasonably can be considered a weapon.”

Absurd criteria....what about: tire irons, baseball bats, screwdrivers, hammers?

Where does this stupidity end?

That young boy, standing straight and tall, is already 10X the man Zero will ever be. Pray our country survives this moron-in-chief.

“...but that’s just not politically feasible.”

To he!! with politics...we’re talking about soldiers lives and doing the right thing.

“As for YOU Mr Obama — stop playing your f*cking games with Olympic Committees and the UN!

Either ramp up deployments like the in-theater CCs want to do to f*cking win and stabilize the region — or pull the troops all the hell out RIGHT NOW!

Stop playing you indecisive community organizer games with America’s son & daughter, damn you!”

SAYS IT ALL!!

“...Michelle didn’t show up with a man so she’s fair game...”

GOOD POINT!

“The U.S. State Department said it is rethinking a decision to give $2.5 million in aid to Libya...”

Good grief! What is there to think about?

“May she rot in hell...” yep!

Another example of the loons produced by our liberal education system:

“...Whitehouse, her second husband, is a Harvard Law School graduate and had recently served as one of her attorneys.”

I think you’re right and it sounds like he’s trying to distance himself from the group. It must be bad!

"Two weeks ago an expert warned Sumatra to expect another quake. Yesterday he was proved right. Richard Macey and Deborah Smith report."

Experts predict this stuff all the time, but they only make the news the 1% of the time they are right; when they're wrong, no one cares.

Agree with your post, but you responded to the wrong person...I never made the statement you referenced. :-)

Quakes generally range from 10KM depth up to 800KM. Naturally, the deeper the rupture, the less the shake is felt up here on the Earth's crust.

"...bunch of bozos..."

I read about 75 posts and came to the same conclusion. Not much rational thought.

"Some day I may be accused of something wrongly and would take much offense to your mindset..."

Not me...accused is sufficient in my book.

...faulty security.

GEE, ya think? (directed at the article, not the poster)

No, it is not nuclear related. The most advanced drilling techniques in the world don't come close to that depth.

"Nuclear explosions and quakes, even of the same magnitude, are INSTANTLY and easily distinguished on all seismographs."

Definitely NOT true.

The evaluation process cannot be done "instantly", is definitely not "easy", and definitely cannot be done on "all seismographs". In many cases, it is easy to classify as "definite earthquake", but classifying as "nuclear explosion" is much more difficult.

Over 6 billion people in this world...wouldn't bother me one bit to get rid of all the a$$ho1es like this one!

Not a recommended cure for erectile dysfunction.

Whatever...

Just trying to provide some information.
