  1. Happens all the time at the top. During the oil embargo of 1973, The Nixon administration drew up plans to take control of Saudi and Kuwaiti oilfields by force. Oh and these plans were detailed beyond the level of simple 'contingencies'. They were talked out of it. Why you (or anyone) would find such a thing "silly" is beyond me. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So now you are making value judgements on how the US should plan contingencies? So what if they have "Plan ZZB" which is to nuke the entire Western Hemisphere and emigrate to Australia? Does the existence of a plan mean that there is will to carry it out? During the Cold War, the US operated in a state of emergency and on the principle of Mutually Assured Destruction. If the President wanted to bomb al Jezeera, we wouldn't be hearing about a memo, we'd be seeing a smoking crater. In Iraq? No. How many? I can think of 3. One is Iraqi government run. One is US coalition run, and the third is Moqtada Sadr's newspaper --which the US tried to shut down. Go ahead and list us the other ones, kumquatq. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Actually the BBC reported there are hundreds. Certainly there are more than three. Perhaps you should check your figures before mouthing off opinions.
  2. Al Jezeera is regarded as the primary mouth piece of al Qaeda, as in there are many members suspected to be common to both. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That is utterly western propaganda bullsh*t brought to you by the all mighty coalition of the willing....[1] Al Jazeera is nothing but Fox News on the other side of the line. [2] They're anti american and they don't hide it [3], but they're not al Qaeda, because if they were they would be long gone [4]. The US deliberately destroyed their offices and killed their journalits in Afghanistan and Iraq just because they want to uncover america's dirt in the ME. [5] And this thing that Bush wanted to destroy their HQ in Qatar just shows how irritated he is with the image of the US they show [6] which Bush can blame only on his warmongering cowbay policy [7] and the conduct of the US military in same cases. <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

  17. Watching Terry Gilliam's latest film, The Brothers Grimm, I was tickled to see his representation of the Napoleonic French and their arrogant domination of the Germanic people and the disdain they demonstrated to the sacrosanct forests ... kinda lets the audience in on a little of the background that helped lead up to WW1.
  18. I'm not going to but two different systems. What's the gameboy advance like to play? I used to have a gameboy a loooooooooong time ago, but is that a meaningful way to play the game? I guess it's best to jump in and play XD ... I'd probably hunt around and see if I could get one/some Pokemon games included in a bundle ...
  19. Yes, you were. It's hardly a suggestion / improvement to want what is already available.
