Spy Satellites? What Spy Satellites?
mutantcamel writes: "This story at Yahoo says that the actual orbits of US spy satellites are not the same as the ones that the UN thinks that they are. The errors include a launch of a
satellite that was never registered, and only two of the last ten satellites have been correctly registered. The errors are bound to cast doubts on what will really happen with the Son of Star Wars programme." Heh, "errors".
I'll drink to that.
yeah i could ask my grand father how he feels that his brother and uncle got killed by an american airplane coming to 'liberate' them.
Wow. That's a long time for a Japanese POW camp. Which one was it?
If you really believe in what you are saying I find it tragic. It is very very possible to have a civilized society without having a secret service killing people outside your borders. If you look around the world you will that there are countries that get along really well with their neighbouring countries, and have no fear whatsoever that they will be invaded when they turn their back to them. So I agree with the previous poster. You are brainwashed and a troll.
Go away or I shall taunt you a second time.
The reason Americans can have the opportunity to live happy lives is thanks to those CIA killing sprees. The whole concept of "civilized" society only exists with a external containment of vicious, natural aggression. If you don't have a stick, your neighbor will come over with his stick and take your food and women.
I don't care what the military does. as long as it maintains my country and stays away from the citizens of my country. Killing people is part of war. I'd much rather have some people running around killing a few dangerous individuals before they raise a army and get themselves and lots of my fellow citizens killed.
And I'm not saything this from necessarily an American standpoint - I fully respect the rights of all other countries to do the same thing. At the same time, I hope the US is better at it than everybody else. I'm not afraid to say that, when the shit hits the fan, I hope my family and friends survive and the other side loses. *AFTER* my family is safe, then I'll hope that the other side is okay as well.
War is hell - people die. And all countries are at war with all other countries. It's just that we don't fire shots all that often at the ones we get along with right now. Korea and Viet Nam are two good examples of what happens when we're not so happy with another country - neither was quote, unquote "War".
We're doing a hell of a lot better than two thousand years ago, when the accepted practice was genocide, sometimes combined with rendering the land infertile, to destroy your neighbor utterly. But don't even begin to think that we're not more than a month away from a fully armed, global war. And *that's* why those CIA assassinations occur... along with why the satellites are hidden as much as they can be.

Oh boy, oh boy... you're gonna get flamed and moderated to hell when my American friends awake.
You sir, have been brainwashed by your government. Quit swallowing their propaganda.
Civilizations first responsibility is to defend itself. After that it's responsibility is to strengthen itself.
I pray (figure of speech, I'm athiest) that those who run the death squads realize that my agenda falls within the second responsibility. I'm the nag that say's 'do better'. And I only expect to see real results on time scales of 50-100 years minimum.
Please ignore my sig for the duration of this post.
okay asshole, we know where you live, the "pickle is hot", expect delivery of the "package" soon.
lucky bastard!

Though eaten alive, he died a slow death. Poor guy.
Still won't say where you're from. What a weasel.
