Nuke testing is a bit harder to hide than bio/chem warfare testing. And we've got a whole lot more experience detecting it. Good point, though I believe that no intelligence is 100%.

I'm not talking about your Berkely think tank exercise from your original post. I'm talking about the personal attacks you've made in the thread. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Mike, I'm not a greenie, but am a fan of Speaker's Corner and post here quite a bit. You've made a few overt and inferred personal attacks here in this thread that cross the line dude. If I were a greenie I would delete several of them and lock this thread entirely. Let's have some fun folks.

You are a genius! Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

I'm going to suck my thumb anyway every time it rains in the afternoon! And hold my breath too! Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Afternoon thunderstorms? Every day? Like this? Not cool. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

I refuse to bow to your dictatorial tendencies.... I need to visit Palatka soon. Perhaps in a couple of weekends. I'm going to KY this weekend. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Hehehehehehehe. I shall extract tequila from you at a later date in revenge. Dude - it was hot as HELL at Titusville this past weekend. When it wasn't raining. Had to ride the King Air AND the Caravan down on two separate occasions due to weather. Wish I'd been there to see that fog...

An assbeating of skydivexxl proportions is in order for whoever is doing the rain dances down here in Florida. It's storming here in Jacksonville. I've had it. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Bill hasn't been around as much as usual as of late. Dunno why. I miss bantering with him in here on political stuff. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Yeah dude. He told me he's really into the tunnel thing now. Another addict. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

I hadn't heard that. Thanks. Vinny

Doesn't Miranda apply only for folks under arrest? Just wondering. I dunno. Beers to all, Vinny the Anvil

Ethanol is nice but not really feasible. It takes more energy to produce and distribute than you get out of it. Biodiesel is a much better alternative. There are also agricultural based lubricants and greases that can be used. You are right, though. We do have other options. Billvon is really really smart on this subject.

This is true. Rutan could have a business going for himself. Interesting. Dunno about the max payload capabilities or anything, but if one wanted to run some basic, short term experiments with nano or microsats, he certainly would be an option to consider.

Tom, I totally agree here - for the moment. I think we screwed the pooch with Iran starting with Eisenhower's support of Shah Pahlavi. We kept supporting the S.O.B. until the populace became fed up and threw his sorry ass out. All in the name of containment/the Cold War/keeping Iran out of the Soviet SOI (Sphere of Influence). I think the feelings that caused the Shah to be overthrown pretty much resonate with the feelings of people wanting US-style freedom everywhere. However, if they develop nukes and show any inkling of handing them over to AQ, they must be confronted/stopped - militarily if necessary.

Perhaps they are SBU personnel... Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Dude, you're going to piss off billvon with those comments. You are only allowed to talk that way about ME in these forums! Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

This penchant for ignoring all facets of foreign policy that Bush-bashers have is quite funny. The counter-insurgency ops in both Afghanistan and Iraq will continue for years. Bush decided not to wait because he - unlike Daschle, sKerry, et al - understands that any viable target should be attacked and eliminated. He chose to do so at a time that is arguable, but the need of its elimination is not. Given the vast sums of $$ Russki and French and German companies were receiving in violation of imposed sanctions, they NEVER would have agreed. That is so blatantly obvious that it's sickening this focus of argument is even considered by the left. A true testament of the failure of the public school system (thank you NEA). This little dream-world (reinforced by the unbiased [sic] media) lefties are living in is quite funny. In it, Afghanistan is lost, Iraq is a complete disaster, Abu Ghraib abuses by a select few American idiots equates to the torture done their under Hussein, and all military operations take place without perturbation, casualty, or incident. If it weren't so disgustingly naive it would be quite amusing. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

That would be scary. THe Iranian military is quite capable and they have been hiding some stuff with their nukes. The interesting thing here is the vast opposition the ruling Islamic mullahs are facing internally. The reformers there are very pro-western. Interesting.

Ahhh...so the conversation shifts to the premise for invading Iraq now. OK. I'd have to say that Iraq was the most available target, but not necessarily the most prolific one. Saudi culture breeds far more terrorists than Iraq, though their goverment most assuredly is more benign towards its citizenry than Iraq. Foreign policy sanity precludes an attack on Saudi Arabia - at least at this time. Personally, the open paying of Palestinian homicide bombers' families in and of itself is open support of terrorism and grounds for US action. At least the Saudi's are concealing it. Add to that the training areas we knew about (Salmon Pak et al), contacts w/AQ we knew about, the recently revealed Russki intel, etc and you have a fairly solid case for considering all out military action. Lobbing a few TLAMs/bombs doesn't send these a-holes the picture anymore. They have declared war and there is no substitute for victory. Most prolific target - no, that would be Saudi. A viable target - absolutely.

I'll agree with Viking here. Yosemite is truly awesome. The Grand Canyon/Painted Desert is cool as well. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Jim Lehman on Meet the Press yesterday told us about SH-terrorist connections that existed. Unlike what the leftist media is asserting, the commission does not dispute the fact that terrorist connections existed. They state that SH seems not to have been involved in the 9/11 attacks. Salmon Pak was one of the training sites I believe. I recall others being discovered, but don't recall any locations, etc. I'd have to do some surfing to find out. Hope all's well down under.

...this weekend in Titusville. He was down here in FL for some tunnel time. Cool guy. (Yes, I know he's left of center sometimes).

I knew it! UFO's! Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!
