OT - TSA bans gels, liquids at aircraft museums

On Mon, 28 Aug 2006 16:24:17 -0400, in a place far, far away, "Scott
Hedrick" made the phosphor on my monitor
glow in such a way as to indicate that:

Israel can't win, because their opponents have no problems with using their
fellow Muslims as shields and even targets. Israel either tolerates the
murder of their citizens, or inadvertently kills "innocents" in the process
of defending themselves. Frankly, Israel should *stop* the soft-shoe
approach and do what it takes. If they are going to be damned by the world
for protecting themselves anyway, they might as well be damned for a reason.
If the missiles are coming out of southern Lebanon, then Israel should
remove every structure in southern Lebanon that could hide a missile or
anything else that could be used by a terrorist.

Golda Meir said that Israelis don't hate the Arabs for killing
Israelie children. They hate them for forcing them to kill Arab
children. Find the moral equivalence in that.

Though most places where capital punishment is still performed (after a
fair trial by an impartial jury of the accused's peers) have converted
to lethal injection.

Texas has also converted.

Buncha pansies!

Ol' Sparky- now *that* was a real execution method.

....You know, I honestly find them about as innocent as the average Jap

and then let them die slowly of radiation sickness so we don't have to
waste money on mercy ammo.

D) Secure one of the largest supplies of oil, which is why the Oil
Ministry in Baghdad was one of the few buildings not looted.

Except that it's *not* one of the largest sources of oil for the US- if
securing oil was the real reason, why didn't we "secure" Mexico or Canada?

Don't have to as they are giving us what we want.

Or Venezuela?

We'd sure like to try...


Iraq is in fact not largely a source of oil for the US at all. Of
course, oil is fungible.

Who is accepting oil in dollars? Who isn't? Not Canada? Not Mexico?

Care to distinguish 'the "Allah Akbar" crap' from the 'God Bless

The latter is actually a song that Kate Smith sang.

Not for the military -- they started the war with a maintainance
shortfall, and it is now ballooning nearly out of control.

For *that*, I blame Reagan, Bush Sr, Clinton and Bush Jr.

It goes back a lot father than that, but since Reagan is responsible for the
modern build-up, everyone before him gets a pass.

But under Clinton we had a balanced budget. So you are only partially
right WRT your list.

Based on what?

Please stop asking moronic questions, Eric.
