Shhhhhh don't mention he is black, that would be racist yo! I have a friend who was my roomie for over 4 years. We were at a party with manny hotties who were dnacing and gettin naked etc. One of them turned to our friend Vicki and "whispered "He's black!" to which Rafael replied "I know!"

We are all entitled to our own opinions and to think or sarcastically state that nobody would want the USA to be defeated would be a serious flaw in logic.

Posing your PA as question is a failed effort to disguise your intent. If I were to ask if you still wish you were a member of the Baader Meinhof would you be proud? or incensed?

Again you have nothing to contribute so you would rather attack the poster and the message. Are you personally in favor of the USA being defeated by Al Qaeda?

It is not about being a lousy shot vs. being a good shot. I shoot better than many people (not all) but I use a semi auto because that is what I have. It is all just personal preference. A semi auto will however allow you to make movement if you are hunting in a concealed or camoflaged position. They may not be able to see you, but they do see movement. (animals)

A plug is easily made from a piece of PVC pipe that is just less than 3/4 OD That way it will not bind up inside the spring

So no comment on the RATIONAL ACTOR MODEL processes I posted? I guess avoidance is the soup dejour? RAM has zero relevance with non-governmental organizations. And RAM infers rational processes in the part of leaders of nations; do we have that here? RAM was an errant theory to post, it's as reliable as deterrence theory. All AQ fears is not being able to attack others, they blow themselves up for their cause, they fear nothing. They live to die in Jihad. That's like saying a Japanese Zero pilot, camikazee is affraid to die. You are once again failing to realize what they fear, think about it. They fear not being able to die for Alah in Jihad, the highest honor that can realized by these insurgents. If you want to play tug the sausage, enjoy, but if you have a point to make I'd appreciate that. You are inferring a PA. If you cannot think clearly it is only your own fault. You keep quoting only one idea of what they fear, that shows us a closed mind that is unwilling to come up with another answer that is even more valid.

It has already been said that Agents working in the field doing the most dangerous jobs need to believe that when they are following orders, there is some permanence to those orders. You just showed you know nothing about the CIA and it's workings

iirc those prosecutions you quoted during the Viet Nam War were for violations of a standing order. They were not brought into the Hague. There was no UN tribunal.

And yet there has been worse done by many other nations who are members of the UN and no sanctions or prosecutions ever put forth. Do you understand that? Why would the USA submit itself to a prosecution that no other country would allow? What would be gained from this?

You fail to fathom the various states of deterrence, I'm sure you would find what would deter AQ abhorrent. People always think that AQ has nothing to lose or fear but that is actually false.

Well would you and why? Please feel free to opine. You may not love our country or despise what our government has done along with the rest of the powers, but which side would you want to win?

Well then, why not throw them a ticker tape parade and offer Osama a kiss and flowers?

Agreed, of course he would need a consensus by sampling a larger group of pages. Therefore he could come up with his own standard deviation.

No, because I do not trust who would define torture and of course we also have to consider why it was done. Do you often feel the need to judge others without actually knowing the circumstances and consequences? A trial like that would be a huge can of worms because once the CIA agent is on the stand it is all fair game. Do you really want the questions to be answered?

The invasion of Uranus? As soon as they tell Barney Frank about it.

I already posted the answers. Thanks for trying, but you really missed on the L1A1 FAL, and the Savage MKII in .22lr, but I admit it looks like a larger rifle does. The clue on that rifle was the spring clip that surrounds the bolt, that only happens with a rimfire iirc. The Talon SS is capable of 1200fps with a 36 grain .22cal pellet. But it's strong point is subsonic work, it rocks! Quiet as can be!

The president is an educated, well-trained LIAR. He has the proof hanging on his wall, it is called a J.D. from Harvard.

What is RW? I don't know what that acronym means in context of deterrence theory ... do you mean relative work as an analogy? If so, I don't understand the analogy. /Marg right wing. Right wingers live on this deterrence theory. It might seem logical that it works, but we're talking about maniacal people with issues when we look at DP deterrence. And we're talking about this deterrence theory working against rogue associations as in the in the ME, peopel who do not care about consequence. Youhave to be dealing with peopel that care about consequence before deterrence can even start to become a factor, yet RWers will swear by it. Thanks for the clarification ... altho' oh my ... as a proponent of deterrence theory, by that explanation I'm a right winger. 'Old-school' deterrence theory (DT) in international relations (IR) -- as opposed to criminal justice -- did work on the rational actor model, i.e., the aggressor state is expected to behave rationally and consider consequence. There are folks who still argue that, e.g., Martha Crenshaw/Stanford (& she's not affiliated with Hoover Inst either). Much of more recent DT recognizes strategic culture (e.g., the work of Jack Snyder/RAND & Jeannie Johnson/Utah), norms (Richard price/Univ British Columbia), and a whole lot of other stuff. /Marg Terrific, so you're saying the deterrence model is going to work on Al Qaeda? I wrote: And we're talking about this deterrence theory working against rogue associations as in the in the ME, peopel who do not care about consequence. So again, you declare it does work? The results just don't pan out. Let's examine the Rational Actor Model: Rational actor model The rational actor model is based on rational choice theory. The model adopts the state as the primary unit of analysis, and inter-state relations (or international relations) as the context for analysis. The state is seen as a monolithic unitary actor, capable of making rational decisions based on preference ranking and value maximisation. According to the rational actor model, a rational decision making process is used by a state. This process includes: Goal setting and ranking. Consideration of options. Assessment of consequences. Value-maximisation. The rational actor model has been subject to criticism. The model tends to neglect a range of political variables, of which Michael Clarke includes: "political decisions, non-political decisions, bureaucratic procedures, continuations of previous policy, and sheer accident." Yea, so Al Quadea falls into this how? We're all real impressed with your 'name dropping' and are completely impressed, but it just doesn't work in this case. Hell, many ME countries you cannot apply this to, rogue groups as I mentioned you definatelt cannot. It is not Margs fault you cannot understand what she just posted or that you cannot even find a fault in it. So your attempt to distract by going off on some tangent will not work. Just admit she is far smarter than you are and say yes ma'am. Then don't do it again. Remember it is not name dropping to cite someone else's work in order that you are not accused of being a thief of ideas. Do you even understand what plagiarism is?

That is strange since they are essentially the same shotgun, maybe it was the furniture that made you feel that way.

I found a barely used mossberg 500 field configuration with only 1 box put through it for $150. I then camouflaged it and did a trigger job before giving it to my brother.

A mossy 500 has the best of both worlds, it has the best placement of the safety as well. Parts interchange between the 870 and mossy

A used Benelli M1, then you can configure it for many purposes in a matter of minutes. I do not think you can wear one out.

He is just mad because they would rather tie their shoes. If anyone does not understand the phrase, do not ask me.
