Hey Marine Ranger now you get an idea of the types I have to talk to over here.....

I often just walk away or change the subject. The words "what ever" and me going for a drink or cigar is the usual.

Chiron, I read those two emails. What a waste of 2 minutes of my life. Neither had any facts ... just pure propagandist opinion ... both posters are ridiculous! Basically, they are both saying the U.S. isn't perfect. Well no shit ... I'd ask them if they can come up with a better system of governme...

These are interesting as I received them from Australia (the first) and U.A.E (the second). Gives an idea of what others think. I'm not responding to them at least no yet.

Mubarak is gone. His government has quit and the generals are in charge as per constitution until the elections.

The new House Republican leadership faced its first tea party revolt Wednesday evening when the chamber unexpectedly failed to extend key provisions of the USA Patriot Act, the anti-terror law passed in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks.

I am not supporting the current Islamic regime. I am not saying that we should abandon our allies and provide free hot cocoa for the world. What I am saying is that perhaps we should encourage our allies to be smart enough not brutalize their populations and create the conditions favorable for dick...

Some things to think about. The Brotherhood of Islam declared last night they will not run for the Presidency of Egypt but will run for members in parliament. They want representation in the parliament. Saudi Arabia is alleged to have miscalculated on the oil reserve. They stated 750 million barrels...

I find it bothersome and wonder what kind of message it sends to our other "Friends" that we will turn our back on you the way we have to Mubarak. Don't get me wrong, I think he needs to go but he has been a staunch allie of ours, I just don't think we needed to be so public about him goi...

The Obama administration is pressing a reset button to return the Middle East to the bad old days of open Arab-Israeli warfare. The White House is requiring participation of the Muslim Brotherhood in any prospective new Egyptian government, while the brothers themselves are telling their countrymen ...

The Muslim Brotherhood (known in Arabic as al-Ikhwan al-Muslimeen) is Egypt's oldest and largest Islamist organization. Founded in 1928 by Hasan al-Banna, it is widely considered the world's most influential Islamist organization, with numerous branches and affiliates. It is "the mother of all ...

A lobbyist for Progress Energy married to an aide to President Obama was found dead in a car fire at her home near the U.S. Capitol, fire authorities and the company said Monday.

China's defense minister on Monday rebuffed an offer from Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates to hold strategic nuclear talks, saying military dialogue will be limited to counterpiracy, counterterrorism and peacekeeping cooperation. Mr. Gates, the first defense secretary to visit China since 2005, tol...

R.I.P. Sir! ~S~

They are exiting fast. Sad to see that generation of heroes moving on.

The carrier sinking missile was known since the OP-3 Orion was forced down in China years ago. It was shadowing a Chinese cruiser that was armed with these. If they upgraded the ordinance that’s another thing but our carriers were threatened at least since the incident with the Orion.
