it's equally obvious yall sure do make a lot of assumptions about what her dead son woulda wanted her to do... One indication of what her son wanted, is that he re-enlisted for six years while in Country and just before his death. He was not just a one time enlistment, but a man wanting to make the Arm

This info was bounced around a full year before the event, during the Clinton Admin. Was this info ever provided to the Bush Admin? Most info like Atta would most likely never have cross a Presidential appointee's desk during the time of the event or even at anytime after. This type of internal information would be and most likely was kept just that internal. Also, without the Patriot Act in place, obtaining info of activities or retaining

Dabe The death rate of combat wounded is 10%, far lower then the 30% of WWII and 24% of Vietnam. This info comes from the Harvard Gazette: Link If you are saying that 9,000 soldier have died outside of Iraq and about only 29% of combat wounded ever even leave Iraq for medical treatment, then that would mean that about 300,000 soldier have been combat wounded of the 1,048,884 soldier who ha

I think the USA dropped the bomb on Japan without a second thought probably due to the anti orientalist sentiment in USA at that time. We built the bomb to drop on Germans, would it have been considered anti-Germanic to drop the bomb on Germany alone? People always cry about equal opportunity. (I know

I think the Army needs to not only rethink the max age limit but bring back the Spec ranks. Some guys are great Specialists and some guys make fantastic 1SGs.

Novak and Cooper released in their articles that Wilson's Wife (Valerie Plame) was working the CIA in the WMD department. But it was Wilson himself that screamed about her losing her cover. It seems as Bakerstreet says, that as long as know one knew she was a spy, she still had her cover. Does that mean that Wilson was the people that finally blow her secret agent cover? <img src="http://images.stardock.com/JU/smiles/Gasp.gif" border=0 ALI

Not sure it really matters if it didn't say she worked for the CIA. Isn't the issue was that she was named as a CIA "agent"? But some people around here continue repeatedly to say that Rove called her by name. That is one of their main points. If Rove said Valerie Wilson or wife of Ambassador Wilson,

I agree with you too Terp. But the Shuttle needs to be scrapped. I remember seeing the first one go up when I was in first grade and strangely happy to see a teacher go up in flames with the Columbia a few years later. Back in 1995, a replacement for the shuttle was being funded and research was underway on the design. But then the program was cut by the last administration and this one has not renewed the program (even with promise

Kingbee Nice idea with adapting the story. But weather you like the sixth merchant or not, he stopped all the merchants from being murdered. It is the merchants who refused to do anything, just to not hurt the Mongol's feelings, that was going to get everyone killed.
