"Pig" has an entirely different connotation in WIITWD, Thom and you are way off. A jackass who speaks French just smells a bit worse. The site I referred to is on a still active military installation. It was more of visual training aid than a bombing range. It was largely dismantled around the end of the war. All that remains are the massive earthworks (one of the hills is used as a ski slope). There were conflicting stories about this. Some said it was done by the Japanese, fearing reprisals. Others held it was done by the first American troops to avoid providing "evidence" for the conspiracy theorists.

Hello thompsonx, I understood your post the first time you made it. Hitler did not attack Russia in the winter. He thought he would blitzkreig through and be the conquering Emperor of Russia by labor day. His generals did not see it that way, however. The Russian army did what they had done to Napoleon which was fall back, scorching their country, and let their armies trap him hundreds of miles inside their country to be decimated by their winter. Just me, could be wrong, but there you go. Sinergy

I take it that you do not plan on giving any evidence to substanciate your opinions about the Japanese planning on attacking Pearl Harbor for ten years. Perhaps someone was just pulling your leg. I have done some skiing on Hokaido and I saw no place that remotely resembled Oahu. But I did have the opportunity to take a trip to Ariake bay in western Kyushu which is large shallow bay quite similar to Pearl Harbor which is where the Japanese did practice the attack on Pearl Harbor. There is a rather large museum there with a diorama and extensive documentation. The U.S. Navy has a large base on the other side of the pennensula at Sasebo. Are you really that gullible or are you just making this stuff up as you go along. thompson[;)]

PTSD Can Take Months to Strike Wounded Iraq and Afghanistan VetsFinding may offer new insights into treating the emotional disorder. By Steven Reinberg HealthDay Reporter http://www.drkoop.com/newsdetail/93/535363.html FRIDAY, Oct. 6 (HealthDay News) -- Soldiers wounded during combat in Iraq and Afghanistan often develop post-traumatic stress disorder and depression months after getting out of a hospital, instead of soon after suffering their injuries, a new study found.

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) -- Sunni politicians have accused Shiite lawmakers of using dirty tricks to push through a new law on federalism, a landmark measure that will transform Iraq by allowing Shiites to form a self-rule mini-state in the south. But Sunni Arabs fear that will split Iraq into sectarian mini-states, giving Shiite and Kurds control over oil riches in the south and north, and leaving Sunnis in an impoverished central zone without resources. http://edition.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/meast/10/12/iraq.federalism.ap/index.html

Dont mean jump in from nowhere but not being american,im just wandering how the hell didnt the american voting public suss out bush straightaway ,like the rest of the world did.Wasnt it obious he and the team were a bunch of greedy warmongering maniacs with stunted intelligence? It has been obvious from the start that they are the biggest threat to world peace-the most pbvious sign being that bush's eye's are far too close together and he looks like a baby chipmunk. On top of this,the muslim hardcore's biggest miss- understanding is that most westerners dont give a shit about religion and are largely aesthists- allthough this polirisation has been encouraged by the american and british governments. My deduction is that the world is is confused and people are largely stupid(exept for me obviously)

Key Iraqi colonel is killed at office Commander of Scorpions commando team helped bridge sectarian divideBy Ellen Knickmeyer and Jonathan FinerThe Washington Post Updated: 12:11 a.m. ET Oct 14, 2006 BAGHDAD, Oct. 13 - Operating between the insurgent Sunni Arab suburbs of Baghdad and the Shiite militia-dominated south, Col. Salam al-Mamuri and his Scorpion commando team were a rarity among Iraqi security forces, American and Iraqi colleagues said: a police unit fighting on both sides of the country's sectarian divide. On Friday, a bomb blew apart Mamuri and an aide at the Scorpions' headquarters in the southern city of Hilla. The attack ended the life of a broadly respected commander who had been one of the longest-serving and longest-surviving men in a cadre of Iraqi army veterans struggling to restore law and order after the 2003 U.S.-led invasion. Mamuri's comparative evenhandedness enforcing the law may have earned him an enemy within his own sect, the Shiites. Interior Minister Jawad al-Bolani in Baghdad called it a "possibility and a probability" that the assassination was at least in part an inside job, because the killer was able to gain access to Mamuri's office to plant the bomb. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15256932/

Video - WMV Video - QT This story has been buried by Foleygate, which is a crime in itself. I had the honor of hearing Daniel Ellsberg and John Siegenthaler Sr. speak last night and the key subject was journalism in today's political environment. We are one of the only countries in the world without an official secrets act, due in a large part to the uniqueness of our first amendment. Sadly this very bill puts us even closer to enacting such legislation and putting a muzzle on the media that would have prevented the extraordinary act of patriotism that Ellsberg exhibited, as well as those that followed in the entire Watergate scandal.
