Bush's speech noted:
"We have difficult work to do in Iraq. We are bringing order to parts of that country that remain dangerous."[10]
"Our mission continues...The War on Terror continues, yet it is not endless. We do not know the day of final victory, but we have seen the turning of the tide."
The speech also said that:
"In the Battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed."
From the cited article.
"Major Combat Operations" were over. The guerrilla insurgency was stronger than expected to be sure, but there's a big difference between that and the kind of heavy combat that the crew of that aircraft carrier were there to perform.
Ridiculous. Pirates always find away around DRM. Always. It's naive to think otherwise. Creating a simple DRM system that ensures that 95% will buy the game and will not be impeding is fine. These 'always on' systems are seriously impeding, however, and I won't be purchasing games that use them.
Not that I don't think we could use to reduce our military expenditures, but even if we reduced our spending to.1% of GDP (which would put us below all industrialized nations) we'd still be spending billions on weapons.
In a dogfight, a drone's combat behavior would presumably be controlled by some sort of AI (using that term loosely) which, if combined with superior flight dynamics, would most likely be extremely effective.
Turns out there is an extra solar planet that is 'proven' to be tidally locked, but given that we can't confirm some bodies in our own solar system are tidally locked (moons of Jupiter and Saturn) I'm guessing that's based on the physics, since direct observation of extra-solar planets is pretty difficult.
You are far overstating the value of having a damaged unmanned system in their possession. You are also overstating the value of the RQ-170, which is notably absent of many cutting edge technologies.
And the deciding factor was who's carriers got caught with their pants down.
Referring more to this happening in the future, than in the past. The might of carriers in the past is well known, but if we're discussing whether or not they are a relic now then discussing in terms of their dominance around the time of their genesis is moot.
And when a carrier sinks, it takes that full array of armed forces with it. It would be interesting to see how long they last in a war between evenly matched sides where the carriers are vulnerable to air/missile attack.
A more appropriate comparison: If you are constantly somewhere between 2.02797643 and 1.96131053 feet from me, I'm not going to give other distances of relative scale, in terms of our distance, as 2.00000000 feet simply because "it's a nice round number."
It's the opposite, really. A hedge is something you do in case your bet fails, so since insurance is a hedge, the wager cannot be that you're going to die. You bet/wager that you're going to keep living, and you hedge that bet by getting insurance just in case.
On the contrary, I'd imagine the vast majority of propellant used for chemical rockets ends up with sub-orbital velocity, so earth's atmosphere is exactly where it ends up. Hydrogen and other extremely light atoms that would likely escape the atmosphere in this case are unlikely to be significant portions of the spent fuel as they are generally reactants, not products.
I don't see how pp would be implicating that. And your imagination is seriously lacking. A majority of Americans at some point believed Saddam was behind 9/11, and in the military it was over 80%.
The claims about Iran aiding Al Qaedy aren't very successful.. On the other hand currently 71% of americans think Iran already has nuclear weapons (CNN nationwide poll, quality of sampling not known). While at the same time the NYTimes has stopped claiming that the west suspects Iran is working on a bomb, as a result of intelligence services speaking out loud enough. The claim has been quietly modified to "Iran might want to use their civilian program to help them to make a bomb later on".
50. While the Agency continues to verify the non-diversion of declared nuclear material at the nuclear
facilities and LOFs declared by Iran under its Safeguards Agreement, as Iran is not providing the necessary
cooperation, including by not implementing its Additional Protocol, the Agency is unable to provide credible
assurance about the absence of undeclared nuclear material and activities in Iran, and therefore to conclude
that all nuclear material in Iran is in peaceful activities.
51. The Agency continues to have serious concerns regarding possible military dimensions to Iran’s nuclear
programme, as explained in GOV/2011/65. Iran did not provide access to Parchin, as requested by the
Agency during its two recent visits to Tehran, and no agreement was reached with Iran on a structured
approach to resolving all outstanding issues in connection with Iran’s nuclear programme.

Apparently people are confused about what the word "mission" means.

Oh and I'm wrong.

Doesn't sound like alot, but 75km/s would still make it the fastest man-made object in history.

They're called Amnesians, and they have a hard time remembering.
It's been done, it was called WWII.

Evenly matched sides... that seems unlikely.

So yes, I'd say it's between them. Further, the numbers I cited are the exact ratios adjusted for your example.

Keep digging. It's funny.
Uh no, it's accurate.
The numbers the summary cites are Gbits per square inch. Meaning it's already been squared.

The west doesn't suspect Iran is working on a bomb? For the tldr; version skip to section L.

1873 called... It wants to talk about irrelevant nonsense.
If Intel is going to push it, it'll catch on. So far they haven't, but looks like that may change.
It was assigned reading. But I agree, it was confusing terminology. Perhaps it's an educator thing.
