I see the good Ol' boy' red neck spirt is alive and kicking still. How about killing bombing Ireland and Spain into the middle ages? Theres an idea. I mean we all know that the Catholics are sick murdering terrorists. PIRA, RIRA, INLA, ETA the list of these terrorist scum is long! Some of them live amoung us but they want to kill us all. So far they haven't killed that many Americans but they will! Its just a matter of time, wake up and smeel the coffee.

Really? Thats exactly what the British forces have done when provoked by the Iraqi millita. Defend, back off to contain and then diffuse. Does it work? Look at the situation in general in the British sectors compared to the US held areas. Disproportionate use of force (ie: Tanks and Hellicopter gunships in residential areas) plays into the hand of the insurgents and with every death of a non combatant strengthens the resistence. As for the insurgents not having diplomats that is nonsence and shows a lack of cultural understanding of the people you are currently waging war against. As far as a solution goes, take a step back and learn from the way the British police and govern in Iraq. We learnt to do this over a very long period of time and our forces are the best in the world at counter insurgence warfare. Why reinvent the wheel? Example: The US Sappers had no knowledge of how to deal with culvert bombs and other IEDs. So what did they do? Ask the Brits who've been dealingf with a terrorist threat for over 35 years? No they went to old manuals on booby traps from Vietnam. Why reinvent the wheel? When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

Have you ever considered that if the millatry backed off a bit the diplomats might be able to do their job alot quicker and the troops would be able to come home alot sooner? After the fighting comes the talking, instead of escalating into a war without end, why not cut to the chase and sort out the peace? When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Also the attitude that you have at the moment is part of the problem. What I mean is Vietnam was a war, America was in Vietnam to fight a war. The war in Iraq was declared over, the job then was nation building. Its a totaly different job and one that the US forces were totaly unprepared for, hence we've gone back to a war situation that is escalating.

LOL!.... European socialist!! You obviously have no idea about who these diplomats are, or their (or my) political affiliations. If your looking for a European Socalist I'll give you a head start and name one for you, he's the leader of the UK's socalist party (AKA The Labour party) His name is......................TONY BLAIR.

Thanks, I'll have a chat with them and disscuss the reason further. When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Thanks, actualy it is the reserve soft links. The rigger has a heap of experience and I trust her opinion, but I just wondered if anyone knew of any issues surrounding these links. As its on the reserve risers I guess thats her concern. When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Just bought a new rig from Aerodyne Pilot, Smart and container. Have been told by a rigger to get rid of the Soft links and replace with PD SLINKS or Rapides. Does anyone know of a problem with Aerodynes soft links? (Feel free to pm as well).

Muslim women will be exempt from having to carry a card with their photo on it. http://www.guardian.co.uk/terrorism/story/0,12780,1202916,00.html I just don't think there is much point in this idea of a card, in London I recently read that only 40% of the population is British. Certainly I work in a very large hospital where the vast majority of staff are foriegn. From SA, Oz, NZ, Philipines, Africa, Far East and Arabs. Unless they make it law that everyone must carry a passport all this would do is make British people carry Id in thier own country while others living and working here are exempt Also we will be having to pay up 37 quid for an Id card I heard on the BBC news this morning.

Sure, but Erroll we have a long way to go before we have a crime situation comparitable to that in SA. Also you have had Id books in SA for pretty much all of the last century, we haven't so its a bigger step for us over here. Its not so much the cards being carried now that worries me but the security of the information we supply. How its stored and where, who has access to it and the possible missuse of it. Also at the moment we live in a pretty secure stable society but what if this changes in the future? I need to look into both sides of the argument a bit more but I do have grave concerns.

But credit card fruad is also being delt with by the introduction of pin numbers instead of signatures. i don't agree that it will help reduce credit card fruad once the pin system has been implemented fully.

I never thought I'd (Or should that be Id) see the day that I found myself agreeing with you John, but here its is. The idea that carrying a Id card will some how help fight terrorism is laughable. I think it is an infringment of our civil rights and am opposed to the idea. Its been suggested that these biometric cards carry finger prints and possibly even DNA sequences of the individual! Don't you have Id cards in the states? When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Is something bugging you or generaly niggling at you? Stop and think about it and if there is try and fix it. Other than that try getting to bed earlier and maybe go for a run in the evenings.

I've got nothing against hunting so long as you eat what you kill. However I don't think sport is really an acurate description when you've got a rifle with a scope against a deer. If you want to hunt and call it sport then try hunting the Marsi way. You and a spear against a lion.............Now thats sport.

'If the Iraqi's go into a school and start shooting up soldiers then it is open season on that school.' And what of the children in this hypothetical school? Do you you think that would be a proportionate response? Do you not think that maybe the adverse publicity of 'open season' on a school full of children may do far greater harm to the objective of rebuilding a nation than good? Remember its not possible to govern a country the size of Iraq without the goodwill of the population.
