Man with all the geeks and techies here I thought there would be a ton of help. Brother, and that poor guy that wanted car stereo assistance. He is out of luck for sure! And now back to "truck talk" with our host Aggie dave. What kind of bumper is............? Glen

Which one Lori? Glen

Is this really about gettin high or did you get busted helping a sheep "over the fence" ? Actually either way I really don't care. Glen

Funny the rest of the world and the UN were also not on board for that either. But when its a different administration the protests seem louder. Glen

Plus we have Mesicans tambein. Eh also G

This is spec warfare and acording to you we do it everywere every day. This is still different than sending in a company to escort the inspectors to the weapons inspectors prom. Glen

Wendy you work at Langley?

Force them to do it. Use all our intelligence resources, find the weapons, and demand they be destroyed by X date. If they don't do that, ______[send in troops with the inspectors]_________ to ensure their destruction. ______[ If they resist, then it's war time. You want to send in troops first, then declare war? Not smart. Man I'm glad you were never in my chain of command. Glen

Secondly, you really, really don't want to piss Frank off; someday you may find your container decorated (desecrated?) with tampons and gaffers tape... Is square 1 marketing that as some kind of freefly gimmick? Glen

[ in 1994 Algerian terrorists tried to hijack an airliner and fly it into the Eiffel Tower. (I know, that's in France so it would have been funny.) It was far from a suprise. Don't you like the french Bill? And brilliant? It was about as simple a plan you can imagine. Barely-trained pilots with boxcutters, who could be foiled by unarmed passengers who banded together. Probably won't happen again at least not like that. No, disarm Iraq and keep it disarmed. How? Ask nice? Did it take a war with Cuba to neutralize their threat, Some people thought we got pretty close no? Glen

What we do is the first to go out kinda open your wings slowly maybe across 2 or 3 full seconds and run paralel with the jump run a few until everybody has exited then procede 90 away from that heading. If the first guys out head straight away from jump run the last out may never catch up to flock with them. Its a lot like leading a tracking jump, dirty at first then clean it up and take off. Glen

Maybe he wasn't just playing a miami undercover drug agent gone bad, he was one. glen

I truely also believe they are going to jumpstart a small scale type of cold war, or worse and Bill will get his wish of some kind of military action against N Korea. Glen

God bless you man, I'm saving a seat or two on the otter for the others, there will be BEER. Glen

Congrats buuuuuuooooooooooyyyyyy!!!!!! Hey they ,,,,don't ,,,,,by any chance,,,,, Have a wind tunnel do they. Glen

Shot myself in the jaw with an air nailer once a long time ago, I was at work and alcohol was involved But I'm better now. After commiting my life to christ I don't do thoses things anymore. Glen

Yah I guess we just turn on one another when we don't have our boobies thread to fall back on Glen

Yes most of these divisions were engaged by coalition forces made up of the saudis and ousted kuwatis and assisted by our guys. I think the divisions you mention will see a faster tempo in their demise this time. The desert is their home turf and its our business to conduct business in the bad boys turf. Yes I know urban is the toughest scenario. > I have no doubt we will win, but the victory this >time will not be chasing divisions of fleeing soldiers >back into Iraq, it will come while fighting the last >Republican Guard units for their homes. I think it >will not be quite as clean as it was in 1991. No it won't unless there are mass surrenderings and revolts from within, probability factor: couldn't tell you. But thats what made WW2 victories like italy different from campaigns in Iowo jima, Okinawa and burma. We had to force Japan to the table, we hit them hard and then again. The world will forever flame us for doing that but close in combat wasn't an option. We don't have to resort to WMD today to do as an effective job. The question is, is it going to be like the former or the latter? >You make light of it, but some of them will >surely "double tap" US troops - and I don't take >that quite as lightly If we don't take a stand civilians in the free world will take double taps something like WTC or worse. Troops are proffesionals, they signed up, give our lives to defend freedom, proudly! Was that on the back of your airline ticket out of Boston? I don't think that was on the minds of any of those passengers that day. Except the last flight that stood up and did WHAT IT TAKES and all took "double taps" so that an exponentially greater number of people would not suffer in some other soft target! See were this is going Bill? Glen

Yep, those constant references to the past are what other people call history. I think we can learn from it. Well Bill I'll refresh you on a little history. Back in 91 the whole journalist world had us all up in a fervor over going to war against the 3rd largest army in the world, armed with the latest in chinese and soviet hardware, chemical & bio weapons. Having been out of the service just a few years I laughed out loud at what a cake walk it was going to be for our guys. Troops surrendering right and left is what we saw. Now lets fast forward to now your concern should not be how bad this event is going to be for our guys it should be if our remote piloted aircraft are set up to be surrendered to. Will they need some kind of load speaker system? Anybody that was there then and bombed then still remembers and is probably starting to shake something fierce. They are probably just now getting back their hearing and starting to pronounce the vowel sounds correctly. It has already happened to some british troops in the north. We have seen footage of Hussien arming his citizens. Well those citizens should be able to take out some of the Iraqi military for us. Oh don't get me wrong there will be some very disciplined fellows available for our guys to "double tap" you know so that it gets on the "History" Channel and everything. Don't worry so much you are too young to worry about all this. Go jump dude. Glen

Didn't Saddam just say the other day that he's willing to use bio & chemical weapons if he's attacked with a nuke? We will just have to nuke him then won't we? Glen

Naw it just needs a really big go -fast sticker on it. Glen
