As far as I can tell, Marina is talking about chemicals and biologicals – not nuclear warheads. The Duchess of Zeon And there's a country the size of California down there, where since Osirak he could be easily working on underground facilities for reactors or whatnot. Osiraq was a nuclear facility...

establishment of facilities in northern Iraq (Not all of the no-fly zone regions are outside of Saddam's control, and he's trying to bring them back under his control - From what I have heard so far those facilities are in a kurds controlled area. Of course if you have a better knowledge of what Sa...

and money from Baghdad is clearly funneled to HAMAS. Iraq is a state in support of terror and And when was the last time that Hamas launched a strike against the USA? The Czech President Vaclav Havel concluded,after an investigation by the intelligence service,that the report about the meeting coul...

Also mr Axis,maybe you do not know,the UK hosts a non small number of islamofascists.Several Al Quaeda members captured or killed in Afghanistan were british citizens.I guess you are planning to bomb London as well.

Although some Western intelligence officials have expressed scepticism about an al-Qaeda-Iraq link, in recent months George Tenet, the Director of the CIA, has made increasingly strong statements alleging such a connection. In Congressional testimony last month, he said that Iraq had co-operated wi...

You had wars of independence? :shock: Elaborate more, where do you live? (I forget) *loads up google for quick n dirty history lesson* Italy Indipendence from the austro-hungarian empire.Although only a portion of the country was under its rule it was the main problem with the unification. Taking o...

He raised holy hell for the Union troops in that area of Virginia, leading to that part being known as Mosby's Confederacy. Yes, we had similar problems after the wars of indipendence.Neverthless at the end rebels were stamped out,albeit costly. The point is that a dictatorship requires a certain p...

"Freedom does not truly exist in Western Europe - It is a pretense allowed by the bureaucrats, a farce given to appease the masses, like the Roman Emperors letting the Senate continue to meet, addressing it respectfully, and sending all legislation through it. Interesting,so basically I do not...

Name another country in the world that has given out as much aid as we have. Having the biggest single economy in the world of course there are not many others countries which give in aid as much in absolute terms.In relative terms however the US donates less than the most of the european countries...

In my opnion it does not really factor.The public opinion of the european countries,at least the western ones,is very anti war.Some leaders do not care,as they prefer to be under Bush desk even if this means losing popularity.Some others do,for electoral reasons,more than anything else.This is for e...

I take comfort in knowing that the US has a few nukes targeted towards France. Or at least we did, during the Cold War, when France withdrew from NATO and said they'd defend their own borders from ANY nation that encroached on them... The frenchs have a few SSBNs,each of them armed with 96 nuclear ...

i'd say late february. we'll bombard and kill as many civilians as we possibly can (along with a little of their military) for a week (that way tv crews get a decent amount of time to get a bunch of explosion footage) and invade right after that. If the goal was maximizing civilian casualties you w...

The Japanese atrocities in China were well known in this country by the general public and the Japanese government was despised for them It may well be.But then I wonder why after 50 years that should give a more clear perspective the main complains that are still made about the japanese are still ...

Bombardment won't shock the Iraqis into submission. They'll disperse their assets and ride it out, and a lot of Tomahawks, JDAMs, CALCMs (not that there's many of those left, the inventory is practically dry) will get wasted. Factories have been churning out JDAM kits 24 hours a day since the end o...

The war is inevitable.Bush has made a commitment for a regime change in Iraq and it would be politically suicidal backing down, even if Saddam complied with all the requests.Hopefully Saddam and some of his thugs will get a bomb on their head,that is the only positive thing that will come out from a...

What you seem to glibbly dismiss is the fact the it was Japan's aggression in Asia that prompted the United States to enact embargoes, which in turn prompted Japan to attack the U.S.! Have you ever asked a Vietnamese, Korean, or Chinese their thoughts on this situation, smartass? Do you delude your...

What about the US demands that Japan extract themselves from China, especially Manchuko? That was a slap in the face to the Imperial Japanese government. Of course.That was one of the reason that led them to war in first place.But as seen above most of the americans consider what happened to the PO...

Nor do they mention the fact that they used PoW's in slavery, basically killed 60% of the PoW's. Obviously the POWs.The americans do not really give a damn shit about what the japanese did in China,which make what they did to the POWs disappear in comparison, except mentioning Nanking or little els...

I find you dispassionate tone in your post amazing.....were not talking about just another weapon here Duchess, were talking nuclear fire here! Tell me you can look at pictures of Hiroshima on August 7th 1945 and keep that tone in your voice. As to the power and effects , were all estimating. No on...

. Space should have been militarized a long time ago, and would have been, were it not for treaties with the USSR. Space was militarized,to a certain extent.Reconnaisance satellites et all. It was not filled by weapons,but one would tend to question the cost effectiviness of weapons placed there.FO...

What, exactly, have any of these things done for us? Short of the CDC and the CIA I see little need for any of that, and we surely don't need the FBI. Though I suppose a legitimate case can be argued for funding highways; the rest, however, is socialism, and an unnecessary drain on the government, ...

Hummm, a yellow wing???! That could be an optical effect.Besides if it is a fake,then it is a fake footage,not a fake photo,as I have seen it with my eyes this evening. Also, don't all transmissions from the shuttle go through the Mission Control? A crack THAT size wouldn't surely be missed by a fe...

A rendez vous between the Soyuz and the Space shuttle?
Tricky.Besides can you stuff seven people in a capsule designed for three?

It would be interesting to know if they had enough fuel to get to the ISS.

There is no place on the shuttle that you can see the wings from the inside. They could not make a space walk to see the wings. The wings are this funky yellow color. It's almost definitely a fake. The website claims that the image was taken by an external camera of the Shuttle that was used to sho...

Provided that one could be prepared before they ran out of consumables.
