However Iraq's money was. Just as Saddam was paying the families of homicide bombers in Israel he was sponsoring terrorism elsewhere.
Repeated assertion without evidence is not proof.
Where do you think most terrorist come up with their cash? Bake sales? No, they are sponsored by governments.
Which terrorists? If you mean OBL and his merry men then the only states that directly aided them were Sudan (and Bill stopped that) and Afghanistan (and George stopped that, aided by just about everybody ("we are all americans now", remember?)).
You could make a case for indirect aid from Saudi Arabia, but they're your allies.
Your ignorance is only outdone by your anti-American screed.
Ignorance? Wow, pot, kettle, black:
France invaded New Guinea (?) I believe without UN authorization. Did a fair job of helping the wrong side when they did.
What on earth are you smoking? I am totaly unable to imagine what you are talking about here.
French troops are currently stationed in Afghanistan, Bosnia, Côte d'Ivoire, Kosovo, Lebanon and Chad.
They're just back from Sudan and Congo.
These are all UN authorised operations or as part of bi-lateral agreements.
Russia has been in Chechnya for how long?
Oh, a few hundred years.
What's the matter? You like islamist terrorists when you're not the target? You think those nasty russkies had Beslan coming? Didn't you get pissed when some idiots used the same argument after 11/9/2001?
The UN is a joke mainly because of countries like France.
It [the UN] condemns America for invading Iraq but gave Saddamn a free pass at murdering his own people.
Oh, so the UN sanctions on Iraq never happened in your timeline?
It [the UN] gives Sudan a free pass in genocide just like it ignored Rawanda.
Just exactly what do you think the UN is? The UN is the US (among other countries). The UN did nothing in Rwanda because the US refused to recognise that a genocide was taking place.
6/4/03 - Belgium - Letters found containing the nerve agent adamsite. 10 hospitalized.
"the nerve agent adamsite". That sounds scary. Let's see what the Encyclopædia Britannica says about it:
Adamsite: in chemical warfare, sneeze gas developed by the United States and used during World War I. [... ] It appears as a yellow smoke that irritates eyes, lungs, and mucous membranes and causes sneezing, vomiting, and acute discomfort...
So, not nice, but not a nerve agent either.
Seems to me they've been padding the list to make it sound like the chocolate making aliance is under attack.
4/14/03 - France - militants set fire to car and destroy restaurant
Wow, serious terrorism. Let's look at what the report said:
14 France
On 14 April 2003, in Sergy [sic] , France, militants set fire to a car parked outside the rear entrance of a McDonald's restaurant. The blaze partially destroyed the restaurant. No one claimed responsibility.
"militants... no one claimed responsibility"
Huh? Someone sets fire to a car in a "difficult suburb" (read ghetto) and all of a sudden it's "militants"?
From the Reuters report:
A police source in Cergy declined to speculate on whether the incidents were related, adding that there was no graffiti or other immediate clue to indicate why [ or even if... ] the McDonald's might have been a target.
60mph in a straiht line on pavement, 40 mph on "even ground".
Still not exactly 60mph "off road".
To say "40mph is more than 30mph so it must be able to do 60mph" is frankly dumb. (I won't even comment on the kind of clown who thinks it can do 100mph off road).
Rutan has said that this design is scalable. With a larger lift craft and larger/more powerful rockets, he should be able to put together a craft along the same lines that achieves orbit.
And the same thing couldn't have been done with the X-15?

Delta 4 Heavy: 13 tonnes to GTO
Arianne 5-ECA: 10 tonnes to GTO
Not a huge difference.
(Ok, so 5-ECA didn't work, but then again neither did 4-Heavy :-)).

Ok, that sounds possible.

Sigh, the kids of today, what they know.
By the way Jerry, how's Catherine?
Frank.
And the same thing couldn't have been done with the X-15?
This is more directly comparable to the Air-force X-15 than Nasa's Mercury/Gemini/Apollo.
If you're going to stick the golden rule in some people would argue you don't need the rest.
Good thing old Isaac didn't ask you do do his 3 laws :-).
Around my way € 220000 gets you something liveable.
You think a units error is "technical"?
And what exactly are "metres xor 2"?
800 sq. ft. = 74m**2.
FORTRAN FOREVER.
(I tried to put ² or ² in my post, but slashcode zaps it).
Oh dear. Isn't it sad that it's impossible to correct a post without making an equaly silly looking error.
You mean 800 sq ft = 74 m2.
P.S. Google? Just use units(1).
I'm 45. I've been using Free software for 20 years.
What is this "Microsoft" of which you speak?
Um, "imported bad guys" have made, let me see, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5...
Yup about 5 tries to blow up me and my family in the various towns where we've lived.
And guess what - I still believe in open immigration.
