I was surprised to find no threads on this subject. Some national ad campaigns are promoting military action. The question of whether to intervene or not involves some of the same issues as Iraq. What to do about it? People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

Using a hook knife for line overs seems appropriate. For a stuck toggle, I would rather just effectively bring the canopy back to a brakes stowed condition, and flare with rear risers from there.

It is interesting how they now say it was wrong to want to kill all humans. But they still don't mind killing a lot of humans to get them to behave. So, not only do they want humans to survive, but they want to live with them, be in charge of them. Why wouldn't they just leave the humans alone, unless they have a need to control? Certainly a lot of opportunity for interesting drama. Am I the only one that thinks the original BSG was really crap? I expected all the people to be rescued before the execution. Do you think they really were executed? Hard to believe the show would do away with all those characters?

You don't need to take a wrap on the good toggle to level it out, just pull down on the toggle a bit. If the only problem you have is a stuck toggle, you can make the canopy (main or reserve) stop spinning. You should have know that this is true, I'm not trying to be a jerk, just that it is important to know that a stuck toggle can be no more severe a mal than 2 stuck toggles. If it is not true, then you have some other problem (canopy damage, etc.) besides just a brake that won't release. You are very fortunate you got it released in time, but you should have been able to stop the spin, that would have given you more time to attempt to clear the toggle. Landing your reserve essentially with the brakes stowed would still likely be rough, but better than spinning in.

I'm not "enthusiastic" about the 9/11 report. It was just an easy way to show that some books by a conspiracy advocate were bullshit, at least on this point. Do you believe it? Doesn't seem any more likely to be true than the WTC towers falling faster than gravity would allow. The executive branch never easily submits to questioning by other branches of government, that is SOP that has been so for many different presidents. It is amazing that as many of the commission recommendations have been implememted. Turning each one into law is not easy, passing any law isn't easy - fights over wording, differences in how to implement, differences in whether some of them are actually a good idea...I would expect that if you look back at history you'll find such recommendations aren't usually fully enacted, perhaps unfortunate, perhaps sometimes good.

Gee whiz guys, spend all that time reading, but you don't spend 30 seconds looking up a confirmation... In their final report, the 9/11 commission noted: Three questions have arisen with respect to the departure of Saudi nationals from the United States in the immediate aftermath of 9/11: (1) Did any flights of Saudi nationals take place before national airspace reopened on September 13, 2001? (2) Was there any political intervention to facilitate the departure of Saudi nationals? (3) Did the FBI screen Saudi nationals thoroughly before their departure? First, we found no evidence that any flights of Saudi nationals, domestic or international, took place before the reopening of national airspace on the morning of September 13, 2001. To the contrary, every flight we have identified occurred after national airspace reopened. Second, we found no evidence of political intervention. We found no evidence that anyone at the White House above the level of [National Security Council official] Richard Clarke participated in a decision on the departure of Saudi nationals ... The President and Vice President told us they were not aware of the issue at all until it surfaced much later in the media. None of the officials we interviewed recalled any intervention or direction on this matter from any political appointee. Third, we believe that the FBI conducted a satisfactory screening of Saudi nationals who left the United State on charter flights. The Saudi government was advised of and agree to the FBI's requirements that passengers be identified and checked against various databases before the flights departed. The Federal Aviation Administration representative working in the FBI operations center made sure that the FBI was aware of the flights of Saudi nationals and was able to screen the passengers before they were allowed to depart. The FBI interviewed all persons of interest on these flights prior to their departures. They concluded that none of the passengers was connected to the 9/11 attacks and have since found no evidence to change that conclusion. Our own independent review of the Saudi nationals involved confirms that no one with known links to terrorism departed on these flights. The 9/11 Commission also expanded on the following points in footnotes to the section of the report quoted above: During the morning of September 11, the FAA suspended all nonemergency air activity in the national airspace. While the national airspace was closed, decisions to allow aircraft to fly were made by the FAA working with the Department of Defense, Department of State, U.S. Secret Service, and the FBI. The Department of Transportation reopened the national airspace to U.S. carriers effective 11:00 A.M. on September 13, 2001, for flights out of or into airports that had implemented the FAA's new security requirements. After the airspace reopened, nine chartered flights with 160 people, mostly Saudi nationals, departed from the United States between September 14 and 24. In addition, one Saudi government flight, containing the Saudi deputy defense minister and other members of an official Saudi delegation, departed Newark Airport on September 14. Every airport involved in these Saudi flights was open when the flight departed, and no inappropriate actions were taken to allow those flights to depart. Another particular allegation is that a flight carrying Saudi nationals from Tampa, Florida, to Lexington, Kentucky, was allowed to fly while airspace was closed, with special approval by senior U.S. government officials. On September 13, Tampa police brought three young Saudis they were protecting on an off-duty security detail to the airport so they could get on a plane to Lexington. Tampa police arranged for two more private investigators to provide security on the flight. They boarded a chartered Learjet. The plane took off at 4:37 P.M., after national airspace was open, more than five hours after the Tampa airport had reopened, and after other flights had arrived at and departed from that airport. The three Saudi nationals debarked from the plane and were met by local police. Their private security guards were paid. and the police then escorted the three Saudi passengers to a hotel where they joined relatives already in Lexington. The FBI is alleged to have had no record of the flight and denied that it occurred, hence contributing to the story of a "phantom flight." This is another misunderstanding. The FBI was initially misinformed about how the Saudis got to Lexington by a local police officer in Lexington who did not have firsthand knowledge of the matter. The Bureau subsequently learned about the flight. These flights were screened by law enforcement officials, primarily the FBI. For example, one flight, the so-called Bin Ladin flight, departed the United States on September 20 with 26 passengers, most of them relatives of Usama Bin Ladin. Screening of this flight was directed by an FBI agent in the Baltimore Field Office who was also a pilot ... The Bin Ladin flight and other flights we examined were screened in accordance with policies set by FBI headquarters and coordinated through working-level interagency processes. Although most of the passengers were not interviewed, 22 of the 26 people on the Bin Ladin flight were interviewed by the FBI. Many were asked detailed questions. None of the passengers stated that they had any recent contact with Usama Bin Ladin or knew anything about terrorist activity. Why should we believe anything else in the book?

I just saw it, had forgotten to look forward to the shitting on his mom. It reminded me of the episode where they were the ninja warrior characters. Seeing those voices on those bodies is too funny.

Regime change in Iraq became a stated goal of United States foreign policy when Public Law 105-338 (the "Iraq Liberation Act") was signed into law by US President Bill Clinton. The act directed that: "It should be the policy of the United States to support efforts to remove the regime headed by Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq and to promote the emergence of a democratic government to replace that regime."

The Clinton administration had a formal policy to pursue regime change in Iraq. Was there anything going on to actually pursue this goal, or was it just an empty policy with no substance? Do you think this policy was wise? Do you think it is useful to have such a policy without action. I think the policy represented a philosophy of 'talk loudly and carry no stick'.

It is absolutely amazing that you don't realize you've done exactly what you're complaining about now. Wow, your early posts on this matter seemed so confident. Facts were clear, he knew and did nothing about it and so on like that. Early on I reminded you that Hastert only admitted to knowing of certain messages, not others. You immediately replied that I was correct, yada yada. Then just a short time later, you were back at it again, saying that he knew and did nothing. That type of accusation seems obviously to be wanting to portray the issue in a misleading way to harm Hastert and repubs in general. That is exactly what the dem talking points have said for them to do - paint the concerns over the communications with the page as all being in the same lump. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

The Dem talking points say explicitly to ignore the difference between the different types/sets of messages - treat them as all the same thing, and say that Hastert knew it and did nothing. I think that is an awful tactic, one you seemed to follow exactly. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

I dont know about you.. but if this 50 something assbite was coming on to MY 16 year old son.. I WOULD have a friggin MAJOR problem with it. And I dont care WHAT friggin political partyhe belonged to or anything else about him.... Quite right. Of course nearly all people would also have a problem with it even when their kid was 18, we just wouldn't have a legal recourse. I suppose age of consent laws are reasonable to prevent an 18 year old senior from being arrested for having sex with a 17 year old. Perhaps it should be considered to change the age of consent laws so that once you're over a certain age, the age of consent for your partners moves up to 18.

Why would he have had trouble leaving Thailand? Were the authorities there on the verge of arresting him? If they were, it would seem he brought even more attention to himself by confessing. How would his confession to the Ramsay murder have stopped Thai police from arresting him before he was brought back to the US? I guess what I'm getting at is he may have just wanted to be a celebrity, isn't that common for criminals to want attention?

Other people were asking what you say, but you were confident in what facts were clear, basically, you said he knew and did nothing about it, quite intentionally misleading, I think.

No wonder he hired a lawyer. It will get very interesting as it becomes known who held onto the IMs and for how long. That is a much worse thing than what Hastert has admitted to.

Your orders carry no weight here. I started this thread, it is obviously about speculation, predicting what would happen "if". How else to make that prediction except by looking at history, especially if it is recent, not ancient history? If the kid was 18, then there is no difference from Clinton, except that Foley's advances weren't accepted.
