I don't think so. The KC-45 is more flexible than the Boeing counterpart in mission availability. It can fly passengers and cargo as well as be a tanker. Two key allies, the U.K. and Australia, use the Airbus frame with no difficulties reported. The airframe is well-developed. Northrop Grumman would assemble the planes in the U.S. Boeing offered a less flexible plane, and relies on its political connections to spoil any deal that doesn't involve them.
There are still radio navigation systems such as LORAN available for ships. They aren't as accurate as GPS, but accuracy in this case means finding an airport, not finding one bolt on a chair in the airport office.
Even with GPS and Galileo and Beidou, it's still good to learn pilotage, dead reckoning, and celestial navigation. Sailing without them is similar to not knowing how to make change without the computer telling you.
I only recounted the ones I recalled. Of course, I was Army. There we had fancy technical guides such as "FRONT TOWARDS ENEMY," the finest bit of technical writing that ever existed.
The best too for an insurgent is the political support of the locals. If they lose that, then they lose the war. In the case of the Iraq war, the locals seem to be turning against al-Queda and in favor of the United States as the lesser annoyance. That, and astute political and tactical directions from Petraeus, is giving the U.S. a chance to win.
This isn't the war it was meant to be in 2003, but then, no war ever is. Al-Queda decided to make Iraq the central fight for its brand of insurgents and was beaten as an organization.
In the 1980s documentary Minute man, the PALs were L7L7L7. Of course, the Emergency Action Message needed to be verified first, so there are two levels of control. Three, counting the two-man rule, and four, counting the fact your buddy has a pistol and will shoot you if you try screwing with the weapons.
I think that comment is too broad reaching. Specifically, the senators from New York and Massachusetts, where the Irish-American political influence is strongest, opposed this extradition treaty. The rest of the country didn't care, but it was never high on the U.S. priorities.
Sorry, no black helicopters at the NSA... only Army green ones carrying courier information to the White House and Pentagon.
Ironically, the NSA seems to depend on the Anne Arundel County, Maryland, police to be the first line of protection. My daughter and I go to work in Laurel on weekends and pass by Fort Meade on Maryland Route 32. There is at least one AA police car on 198/32 making sure no one stops by the post. Sometimes there are as many as five, hovering around cars that are stalled. We call them "move alongs."
I should hope the NSA puts a backdoor in an encryption standard.
There was a dispute where the borders of the Alaskan panhandle lay. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska_Boundary_Dispute . Its mostly settled now. But Seal Island is OURs, and we'll fight to the death for it! Assuming we can find it.
At one place I worked, we had an employee who kept showing frustration and saying "I QUIT" five or six times a night. He was surprised when our boss took him up on it.
That's because the mandate isn't as clear as you think it is. Yes, there was displeasure with the Bush Administration's policy; however, the American public doesn't want to see a pullout that would make the situation worse than it is. Furthermore, the Democrats who are most fervently anti-war have strong negatives themselves.
If you recall the last major protests in Washington in September, only about 10,000 turned out for the ANSWER rally, and they were met by 1,000 Freepers. That's a piss-poor performance for a supposedly angry public.
They may hate the war, but they hate the Democrats too.
I would point out that there ARE people leaving Guantanamo after review. I don't like the procedure but we don't have a proper legal framework for dealing with organized combatants who don't belong to a national army and are not part of a levee en masse. The Hague conventions of 1909 and the Geneva conventions don't cover the situation. There has been judicial review
I suspect that most of them are going to be tried for crimes by one court or another when their detention ends. Taliban were released in 2002, and a few of them have shown up in combat again.
Not all the evidence against these people is classified. I know some of them were caught by U.S. armed forces in a combat zone bearing arms against U.S. armed forces. It's pretty clear that they are being held as quasi EPW.
I think you both overstate the gullibility of the American people and understate the nature of the enemy here. This isn't Evil Bush persecuting innocents. These are people who have tried to kill my countrymen before there was a state of war, and afterwards they have killed Americans in brutal ways. They have refused quarter on the field of battle to American soldiers. Under the accepted laws of war, they deserve a field court-martial and a firing squad.
I would also point out that if the current Administration were so evil, there would be many many more people in political prisons, and I can't think of anyone who's there because say, he posted to Democratic Underground. You might not like their policies, but they aren't totalitarian; merely blinkered to political sensitivity.
Our atom bombings were not aimed at civilians because they were civilians. Hiroshima was the headquarters for the Japanese defense of the southern islands, and the bomb was timed to catch three divisions of soldiers in the open. Nagasaki was a vital port as well. The deaths of civilians is regrettable, but is not a war crime.
Please provide dates, places, and persons for the allegations of gassing civilians and using biological weapons.
We can demand what we want from private corporations overseas; then again, American corporations such as Microsoft have to comply with European Union regulations, too. It's not a one-way street. What is reprehensible here is that Yahoo compromised with a political crime investigation. They have learned and now only own 40% of Alibaba, the Chinese company. Yang should have realized that he was going to get in trouble from the beginning, and been more forthcoming.
The difference between U.S. detentions in the War on Terror and the Chinese imprisonment on dissidents is that: the detention is not finite, but is conditional and should be stopped upon the end of the war, whereas a sentence is finite and unconditional. I am not comfortable with the idea of indefinite detention in the War on Terror, since this is not against state organizations that can sue for peace; there needs to be a revision of law to deal with these circumstances.
I should point out that the great majority of the people detained by the U.S. deserve to be detained because they are either persons who have used violence or planned violence against others.
Of course, Hamid, the neighbor with Google Earth, points out where Abdul put the bomb in an email to the Americans, and Abdul gets nothing for his efforts. Yes, the guerrilla usually has the advantage in where and when to strike, but he also needs to have the confidence of the people he's with, and as long as the Iraqis hate Abdul more than Sam, Abdul gets finked out.
Technology is wonderful, but it needs to be used in a social and political context. This is why Microsoft still dominates the business market for workstations.
Let's not forget that a revolution generates counter revolutionaries; there would be a very nasty civil war among the most powerful nation on earth. Do you really want that? We Americans rememeber that the Mexican civil war spread into our Southwest. No one else on the planet would be safe.
It wasn't a sucky standard to begin with. NTSC was the foundation of PAL transmissions too. The newer color transmissions were compatible with the older black-and-white transmissions, the sound was FM, and it works. We never had the 405 line versus 625 line issue.
Only if you followed the calculations of the Bishop of Ussher, who came up with that date. Many evangelicals who are not fundamentalists don't accept a young earth theory, and even among fundamentalists, there are many who believe in an old earth. Some of the debates on fundamentalist boards like Rapture Ready become heated.
I can respect their desire to conform to the Word of God, for they feel if the Creation story is an allegory, what else is an allegory? However, the physical evidence is there, and many of us belive God does not lie in either nature or in scripture. For us, the answer is "We don't have enough evidence yet to understand the whole picture." There really are no such things as paradoxes, merely incomplete models. We'll find out soon enough.

Why don't you go back to Stormfront, you jackass?
You mean Lucille Ball?
From Mom's womb to Mom's basement!
Why don't you just reset the news to 10?

No. Guantanamo is closer to Colditz than Dachau. Besides, you have a better chance of leaving Guantanamo than Dachau.
