That's how things used to work on ICL George 3/4 circa 1977.
The joys of waiting for an operator to load a tape so you could edit a file, hoping he wouldn't CANTDO.
(Little used files got shoved of to mag tape. Still showed up in the filestore. When you accessed them a message was sent to the operator: "PLEASE LOAD VOLUME ASBHJ123 FOR:HUGHES.SOMEFILE(1/FORT)", if the lazy bugger didn't want to load the tape, or if he couldn't find it he'd type "CANTDO LOAD VOLUME" and you'd get a horrid error).
As for the "loans" in question, past history has shown that the government can and have "forgiven" the loan payments when the airlines complain loudly enough
Airbus has never failed to repay (with interest) it's loans. Airbus is not an airline. Who is being deceptive here?
The correct choice would be to find someone who has some respect from the 3 factions and dump the job on him. Bonus points if he's moderately anti-US- it makes it look more realistic.
Hey! I've found the perfect candidate.
Mr Saddam Hussein, this is your big chance!
Only problem is that he's never been very anti-American. But I guess we can cover that up.
Having stayed in California motels a lot over the years and seen too many cases of things like an illegal who cleaned the toilet with a rag and THEN the sink with the same rag; she spoke no English and when I complained could not understand that there was anything wrong.
Newsflash: they spit in your hamburger too.
Why do you think that people who are paid shit wages give a damn about you?
The ultimate goal of Islamic fundamentalism is to dismantle secular institutions and set up an Islamic state.
Sorry, I thought that was the US war aim? I mean setting up a democracy in a country who's majority Shia population has been oppressed for centuries, helped only by the Islamic Republic of Iran next door, is going to result in what?
Oh, yes, the election of a parlement dominated by Shia religious parties owing allegience to Iran.
That'll help protect "secular institutions", like the Ministry of the Interior driller killer death squads, yes it will.
See, the problem is that Iraq is like a religous republicans dream - kids listen to thier parents, women are modestly dressed and stay at home, the population is heavily armed in order to resist attempts to install a dictatorship or foreign invasion...
It's not that the terrorists envy our freedom, it's that the republicans envy Iraq's lack of freedom.
just look at the battles the homeopathic community has to fight; some of them are wackos perhaps, but many of them have treatments superior to those of "modern" medicine.
News for nerds? News for credulous nitwits these days. Somebody gave this an "insightful"?
So here we have a word invented to describe the official policy of a state - the French "terror" - which a state has decided to redefine to exclude official state actions and you think we should accept that?
Since when does the U.S. Department of Defense decide what a word means?
Try the third definition Google throws up:
"use of terror, especially the systematic use of terror by the government or other authority against particular persons or groups; a method of opposing a government internally or externally through the use of terror"
I would argue that the word 'random' or at least 'apparently random' should be in there.
Why? Any randomness in the behaviour of real terrorist groups is caused by lack of means rather than deliberate policy. When the IRA placed a bomb they knew what the target was, even if the people actualy killed looked random. When the RAF firebombed Dresden they knew what the target was, even if they didn't know the names of the individual germans killed.
Your guy who's very right-wing is full of shit. Ask him where the word comes from, what it's original use was. He has decided to redefine the word for his own politcal reasons. In NewSpeak bad words can't refer to party actions.

Hey, the US had an operational ABM system back then (for a day or so).
The only problem was that both the US and Russian systems relied on nukes for target destruction (the famous "neutron bomb"),
The new (probably non-functional system) actualy tries to hit the incoming target, instead of just exploding nearby in the hopes of frying it).
Hamas - kills Israeli soldiers, takes one captive.
Israel - kidnaps palestinan politicans, kills > 40 civilians.
Who are the terrorists?

Read about the japanese red army at Lod Airport.
Not as such, no. :-)

Dumb analysis alert. Oil is fungible. If it's coming out of the ground it doesn't matter who gets it.
Um, for 20th March 2005 to 1st March 2006 the Iraq Body Count estimate is 12,617 civilian deaths. That's more that 1,000 per month.

No, silly, Farsi is for the next war. You're giving the game away.
Huh? Why on earth do you think this?

Oh, no the people who clean our shit up don't work as hard as we like for the few pennies we care to throw them.
What racist crap.
Nah, they'd just pop some innocent waiter with a russian accent.

It's an Israeli company.
No, the law says if you don't give them the key you go to jail for 3 years. You didn't give them the key, you're guilty.
They don't want the keys - they want the power to bang you up without having to do the work of proving you guilty of something real.
So you think the US should commit acts of war on the territory of a nuclear armed state in order to stop a DDos attack. Brilliant.
All the guesses about where this is coming from point to the Russian Mafia.

Rubbish. The second word of the definition is wrong.
