Chris: i completely agree with what you're saying. but now 12 years later, were we asleep at the switch? it's not Sadaam's fault he never complied, it's the un inspectors fault. as far as them shooting at our aircraft in the no fly zone, i have personally observed our aircraft pulling the same stunt, day after day, only it doesn't get reported. all i'm saying, is give the man his debate, it would prove more enlightning than a lot of us realize. Dick Cheney, ex CEO of Halliburton sold Iraq over 70% of it's explosives, france, germany, turkey, belgium has a lot of money and munitions in Iraq as well, why are we not attacking them? in the event that we face such a catastrophic affair, it would only be fair to exaust all diplomatic options before firing the first salvo. all i am saying, is give peace a chance. we go over there and bomb Iraq, kaydee bar the door, don't go out at night, and lock up your women, and children, it's that simple, these are the cold, hard, harsh facts of reality. --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

he told Dan Rather he was ready for immediate disscussions with ol' wyubya. he spoke with Rather on on one, and it took Rather 3 hours to set up the meeting. --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

yeah, that'd show em' wouldn't it. hey look, my balls are bigger than yours, now i have to spend american taxpayers money to rebuild your country i just destroyed just to show you who's got the biggest dick. COME OF IT. this is juvinile mentality. this is human lives, and god's earth we're talking about. if you guys believe ol' wyubya is telling us the truth all of the time, i have some ocean front property in arizona i'd like to sell you. bush and powell are idiots, they may well be our undoing. so far, except for 09/11 we are the only country who hasn't suffered mass casualties and property loss, the people have, they're acclaimated to it, unless you willing to travel to these foriegn lands, don't be so quick to judgement. i have first hand information to back up what BillVon spoke of, if he doesn't, but i can assure you, he knows what he's talking about.

negative, Sadaam does have a bad back, not to mention he's over 70 years old. he would have no use for body armour in one of his own palaces, believe me, i've seen them, you don't get within a ten mile buffer zone unless your authorized, if your not you'd be AK-47'd to death, believe me. --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

i can't believe how gullible you people are. i thought it was just bush in a rush to war, now it seems a lot of americans are as well, this saddens me. do you have any children, do you have a son, or daughter in the military? i do, and i think we should exaust every diplomatic means at our disposal before starting something we can't finish, and will cause hundreds of thousands of lives to be dissplaced, not to mention costing "us" the taxpayers 30 billion for Turkey alone, not counting the costs for this war which will be in the trillion range, i don't know about you people, but my taxes are high enough, the economy is shite, and this situation warrants every means of solution before "locking horns" if we're hell bent on war, who's the real terroists? think about the refugees, families, children who will be killed, homeless, starving. yeah, that's the image i want to portray to the world as an american, and we wonder why they hate us...go figure.

i dissagree Andy, i'm fairly familiar with the Muslims, and the middle eastern culture, Sadaam would not have made that gesture if he did not intend for it to be genuine, for him to make the gesture, then decline once it is accepted, would mean for him to "lose face" with his people, this is something he would not do. Sadaam did a four hour set down television interview with Dan Rather, and Dan had full access to Sadaam, and Tariq Aziz. Sadaam definitely does not want war, but he will "go for it" if bush decides to advance. even if Sadaam has no intentions of doing a televised debate, wouldn't it be wise to accept, and then let him do the "crawfishing?" Bush doesn't have any grounds for attacking, he knows it. North Korea is a bigger threat than Iraq right now. they successfully test fired another rocket capable of carrying nucluear warheads into the china sea yesterday. Viet Naam ring a bell anyone? edit: isn't it peculiar that we the U.S.A. can announce new microwave weapons, or any other weapons we have built of mass destruction to the world, and no one says anything? who's policing the police? DAMN, can't any one see what is REALLY going on? --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

personally, i think it's an appropriate offer from Sadaam. it shows depleting all means of diplomacy before initiating full blown war. if Bush decides to decline Sadaam's offer, it will only solidify my contention that he is "hell bent on war, no matter what" it would also be a sign of cowardice on bush's part. i applaud Sadaam's offer. --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

i've met Jack Russel several times myself, although not at the DZ, but at clubs. unlike other "rock stars" he never had that attitude, he basically a sailor at heart, he has a really cool yacht he had special built for himself. while it's tragic what happened in rhode island the other night, there's no way they can blame that entirely on Great White like they wish they could. other videos have since surfaced with other bands in that same club using pyrotechnics. i know from having performed at clubs myself, you don't do anything, anywhere without club management's permission, i have no reason to believe any differently in this instance. bottom line, pyro, or no, injuries/death/property loss or not, club owner's fault. they are responseable for "hosting" and supervising the event to make sure it's safe. my heart goes out to the lost, and injured. --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

start off with a 7 cell Triathlon, do a hundred jumps, then by that time you'll have a better handle on what you want, because you can demo during that time. --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

that Triathlon you jump there used to belong to me, i bought it new. the flight characteristics between the Triathlon and Hornet/Sabre2 are very different. the Triathlon is one of the most forgiving canopies i've ever flown, don't be fooled into thinking all of the other canopies you fly will be the same. i'd stay with a 210^2 for now, at least 100 jumps. --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

constantly, they think i'm "retarded" for jumping out of "perfectly good airplanes" i swear, if i hear that one more time....ughhhhhhhh what in the world is wrong with these people? --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

itz all good bro, no worries. will it be the last time? HAH! NOT! take care bro..... --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

oh yeah? oh what? don't make me come over there! --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

POP, you been supplying Stanley's habit? what a shame, once a professional clown, now, just a shell of his former self. shame on you POP, no wonder he ran away. --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

well, sad but true you will one day, so they're right in that respect. if you don't respect people's opinions that you know, why the poll here? if your looking for absolution, you'll find none here. but this much i know for sure: in the end, you are the master of your own destiny. good luck, take care and be safe. --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

absolutely no relation, although i'm sure Stanley wishes he had the family fortune. too bad POP couldn't help the poor crack addicted, manic depressant clown, it's really sad. now he's just going to terroize Sky Dive Aggie Land, and AggieDave until the guys manage to get him to get a hold on himself. i bet he was all muddy! --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

Stanley is an infamous international clown, but he got addicted to crack, the rest is history. --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

AggieDave: you on the "juice" again? --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

no, it wasn't the U.S. it Al-Queada! hell, we all know that! --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

you have now for sure how do you know this? what data are you basing your remarks on? a remark like this certainly warrants some insight. --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

not directly, but you did elude or suggest it with this statement. --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"
