so you think that israel isn't bluffing. how many casualties do you think an israel/iran war will have? i believe there were two million casualties during the iraq/iran war. meanwhile, back in gotham city... http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1076285.html stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding

http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1076056.html I’m curious: why did you bold the reference w/r/t leadership of the NIC? What do you think that says about the larger context of US-Israel relations and why? I’m not sure I agree with Haaretz’s assessment of current US policy intentions. /Marg i think it says that the israel lobby is becoming increasingly more transparent with its moves. the more scrutiny they get the less room for manoeuvre

the israeli plan is ludicrous (and increasingly seen to be so)

Sure about that??? yep, sure

i say union - you say hoffa

there is no chance of israel attacking iran - and iran knows it

Though as Syria found out, Israel is still willing to destroy facilities. Of course, it's a much easier target than Iran. I have no doubt in my mind that if Israel attempted to strike at an Iranian nuclear weapons facility they would be successful. That said, I highly doubt they'd do it unless they felt they were absolutely positive and it was the only thing they could do about it. there is zero chance of israel attacking iran - thank goodness

Indeed. Syria was breaking the rules, and was punished for it. what rules

is assad bluffing as well... http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1075930.html stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding

so it's just another bluff - phew

wasn't the first move sacking the ceo (and before that getting rid of the executive jets) what sacrifice are the bondholders going to give? remember that unions are just groups of moral people doing their jobs... http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/04/01/AR2009040103716.html?wprss=rss_politics stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding

synopsis... The Universal Announcer is a mystery virus that sweeps through the global communications network in the early 2020’s and steadily becomes a dominant and transforming force in the human world. It imposes a worldwide ‘worktax’ of two hours work per citizen a day. With a constant stream of personal ‘edicts’ it controls a third of the world’s population from its Chinese and European heartlands. Its most powerful form of control though is an addictive range of immersive virtual games that it uses to enthral the massed populations of the mega-city conglomerates. The Announcer successfully defends itself from attempts at its removal from the network while at the same time negotiating with an alien probe that it has detected orbiting the planet. The probe is one of thousands of millions of contact ‘spores’ despatched by an alien race, the Nanja, four million years ago from the far side of the galaxy. Each autonomous probe contains a quantum metamaterial computer with processing powers many times greater than the entire human network. The probes locate and then make contact with the most suitable life form on a planet, ‘breeding’ it to a level of civilisation where the probe can contract with it the building of a secure galactic link that will re-connect it to the rest of the Nanja network (that has in the years since the probes launch expanded into the galactic core, adding a million and more civilisations). At the same time further out in our arm of the galaxy a competing alien race, the Barchus, has been expanding its civilisation not through fast moving autonomous spores but through slow moving interstellar ‘city’ ships with millions of inhabitants that take thousands of years to complete their colonising journeys to a host system. After four million years of virtually unopposed expansion the two dominant alien empires meet for the first time on a small planet the inhabitants call Earth. Both species have planted surveillance systems here. The Nanja have the Artifact, a physical object which exerts its influence through the Watch, a secretive corporate and criminal group grown wealthy and powerful with its five hundred year backing. The Barchus have a software agent working with the Families, the generic name for the rich and powerful group that have flocked to the Mexico/US border states to form a protectorate against what they perceive to be the socialistic encroachment of the Announcer. The Families have invested their wealth in the creation of a futuristic city-state, the ‘Apex’, which will be run by a supercomputer built of a new quantum metamaterial to be manufactured by the Barchus. The Announcer agrees to the Nanja terms of contract for the building of the galactic network link in August 2044 – which is where the novel begins, placing at the disposal of the Nanja 10% of the world’s bank deposits to finance the construction of the link, taken without warning as a ‘Universal Money Tax’. The Barchus plan to wreck the building of the link by detonating the last of the UK nuclear arsenal, held in an underground silo in Wiltshire. To counter the Barchus threat the Announcer has selected a group of games players that it first brought together twenty seven years previously in an immersive action game that it used to test and train them. Cedric Tucker is one of these players and it is with his small internet bank that the Announcer chooses to deposit the huge tax sum it has collected, immediately throwing an intense spotlight onto him and his friends. As the countdown to the Barchus detonation begins the surviving players scattered throughout the world meet for one last decisive game. Can they prevent the Barchus executing its devastating plans? Can the Nanja be trusted? Is the Universal Announcer as beneficent as it appears to be? Do the Nanja and the Barchus even exist, or are they just the latest characters in the largest, most realistic game the Announcer has yet unleashed on the unsuspecting public? stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
