So what then were Clintons' reason then for bombing Iraq, Afganistan, Sudan, and even China?
Clinton may of hated the military but he had no problem using them whenever he wanted and for no reason then creating a press story. If that is not scary war monger then what is?
Granted he did not order that China be attacked, but it is still goes down as one of the countries he attacked during his term as President.
It is not the role nor should it be the abaility of the government to dictate what a for profit company pays an employee, we will ignore min wage.
If you want to lower what a is paid start by owning part of the company and then get others to agree with you.
Last week saw a show where they were talking about bomb sniffing dogs, the owner of one of the training places said that good trained dog will sell for around $8000-$9000.
He also mentioned that with the recent world-wide increase in terrorism the price of good dog that can be trained has increase because so many people are looking for them.
Since you believe that the WMD was a ruse please answer this simple question. So far everyone else has failed this.
Give a credible group/country that believes this is true that they did not have them or that they are not hidden. I have 70+ countries that say they had them include Germany,Russia, and France.
The main reason I still use faxes is for signatures.
Also it is still uncommon for everyone to have easy access to scanner, and then the abaility to enter your handwritten signature.
America's Army is a recruiting tool, in the form of a FPS, aimed at modern teenagers who play thoses types of games. Compared to other FPS alot of people don't like it is to life like and you die far to easy(compared to other FPS). As for it getting into the heads, as an all volunteer force the US military uses standard marketing schemes, and games and movies are a current great marketing scheme. It is not something evil or good.
As for the role of the military it is very simple it is thier to kill people and break things. When it is not doing thoses things it is thier to make sure that other people know we can kill people and break things when it is needed.
The first 75% of the book was good, then he starts having the characters perform impossible conversations just to thrown the reader off also toward the last half of the book he stops giving the readers all the information the main characters have.
Overall it was ok, but I am really surprise it has stayed at in the top 10 most of the year since its release, which means the movie is already in the works.
The reason it is using the Xbox is because the xbox got a major plug in that on various US military bases, in places like Europe and the middle east, they are setting up game rooms with Xboxes where you can play against local players and other people on other bases.
They charge a few dollars an hour, and have a decent collection of games, all designed for multi-player and network player. Also the rooms have nice seating and setup, with a so-so decore.
As for why the xbox was picked instead of the PS2 this was a big question when they started this, and it game down to the xbox has a better network setup with more games. Since they were setting up theses systems for network and multi-player and the xbox had the best capabilities and the most number of games that supported that.
I always just figured get some metal shaped like a CD but in parts, so that one of the pieces was a knife. Stick thoses modified CD behind a bunch of others in a in a CD holder so that blend in. Now carry some tape with you to wrap around the other end of the CD to protect your hands, and now you have a decent size knife, with a sharp point and edges.
The skies will not be safe until they start treating passangers like they did thoses in the movie "Con Air"
As for profit in the security, thier is not longer any. It use to be that the secuity at an airport were hired by the airport which were got thier money from the airlines, as the requirment was that the airlines provide the security. However with the recent law change all thoses people are now government employees or are being covereted over to that.
It really does not have much of an impact for newer items, most modern contracts include a clause mentioned CDs, web, and future technologies.
Where it does matter is with the older stuff, and as the article mentions thier have been different rulings on this same topic.
As for the mirroring this case has no ruling on that since the case was disagreement on if a CD was a new media(in which case the original contract between the magazine and photographer did not cover and they would have to pay more to use the photo) or if the just a republish of an old media on a new media(in which case the old contract covered it).
The holocron were done for one reason, to keep people around so they keep paying the monthly fee; they were also first introduced right at the 3 month period so that thoses starting the game and paying for the 3 months subscription would have a reason to pay another 3 months.
Now that we are at the 6 month period for that they are now giving everyone in a game a free crystal.
What thier is a system called the extended universe(EU) which is the general marketing/legal system where everything from SWG, to the books, to Yoda Games and the Christmas special belong to. Since according to lucas the christmas special does not exist it is not really in thier, but some other EU items do use characters created in the Christmas special so who knows.
So along as you pay the money or get permission you are part of the EU and can do almost anything you want as long as you don't mess around with the films or upcoming offical lucas stuff.
The problem with SWG was not that it did not have room to make itself a good game, look at KOTOR, it is just that it is a very poor game and very poor MMORPG. The reason for that must be placed with the main designer Raph Koster. Now that he has been promoted and is messing up EQ2 they are now removing stuff he designed and talking about implementing whole new systems. Give them 2 more years and it will be a decent shape and out of public beta.
The tentative date of release for the space expansion is July. However according to devs back at SWG release, 6 months ago, they had not realy started on the space expansion besides some very old demos.
So in otherwords based on the current messed up system and the time schedule do NOT expect anything major. You will probably get a few new planets which do not have the current shuttle service to them, a few different ships, a limited battle system, and paths to follow to get from planet to planet which open into wide battlefield type areas.
I would not place much money on EQ2 being a major hit.
1) MMORPG player currently show themselves to be reluctent on switching. Even with EQ2 being out most EQ1 players will stick with thier current characters.
2) SOE needs money with the failure of planetside and SWG, they need a MMORPG. So they will push EQ2 out the door before it is ready. This causes problems with people who are searching for a new game.
3) Raph, the great designer of SWG, is now making changes to EQ2 to make it "better". This is a major worry, which should scare anyone who players theses games.
Part of the problem was that AC1 was primarily a Turbine designed game. AC2 was a microsoft and committee designed game.
I am great hopes that they learned thier lesson and D&D online and Middle earth show it. But then this could just be a dream.
This was a declared war at least according to the US congress, he was still acting on the instructions of the congress from 1991, this say interpertation was used numerious time from 1992 to 2000 for similar things.
There was discussion on if President Bush Jr. should of gotten another right when he decided that enough was enough and that the rulings against Iraq should be inforced instead of being ignored, but that was for populatity reasons not legal ones.
I guess it depends on what your definition of lie is.
Most non-hate filled people define lieing as "To present false information with the intention of deceiving." So far eveything you brought up and thoses you have not were not lies because based on his knowledge he was telling the truth; you could call it optimistic but it was not false at the time said. For example say I am thinking of a number and you make a guess, you guess wrong, are you lieing? No becaues based on your knowledge they was no really way for you to tell the truth.
The WMD are probably in the same place where they found Saddam, 14 air craft and other weapons , buried in the sand. Good luck find it without being told, he had 5+ year with noone watching to bury it.
As for thier not being WMD mention some people or organizations who firmly believe that they did not have such weapons and who do not a an interest in not having them found.
I have france,Germany, Russia and others saying that they existed and still do.
Reading the US constitution and declarations of war President Bush Jr has the full legal right to do what he did. Just because you have don't like the guy does not make his actions illegal. If any significant portion in the legislative branch really though this was the case they have mays of fixing, instead they realise it is not and use it rile up the ignorant to sent them money and support.
You could start to make the case it was illegal in the eyes of the UN but even then the winning legal case would be that what he did was legal.
In the case where you are running for place to place you are far better off having a small group instead of the many people. The more people who have the more chance that someone will talk, which is probably what happened here, unless some patrol happened apon him by accident which from the reports is not the case.
As for will this stop anything probably not, alot of people doing the new stuff are going for a revenge or power play for themselves. What it does do is make is easier for the average person who no longer has that worry that saddam has a major backing of people they will scare out the combined forces and retake control.
As for why not North Korea or other nations, mostly because they have not attacked the US and local nations and the US are working on other ways. If we worried about drug trafficing we would be attacking columbia and other south american countries.
As for the point it was to enforce rules that put a stop to the last major conflicts in this war, but were then ignored and for many years allowed to be ignored as saddam attacked US and colilition forces but then nothing was done. During a multi-year period he had time to hide them, like they have done with air craft and other conventional arms. As for thier not being WMD mention some people or organizations who firmly believe that they did not have such weapons and who do not a an interest in not having them found.
I have france,Germany, Russia and others saying that they existed and still do.
The WMD are in the same place where they found Saddam, 14 air craft and other stuff, buried in the sand. Good luck find it without being told, he had 8+ year with noone watching to bury it.
WMD have not been forgtten they are just on the back burner compared to getting the country working again. As for thier not being WMD mention some people or organizations who firmly believe that they did not have such weapons and who do not a an interest in not having them found.
I have france,Germany, Russia and others saying that they existed and still do.
Not a native german speaker have a had a few classes, but with my abaility can just handle a menu.
I have never heard of this, but under German the verb does come at the end of the sentence; so I would put it down as a joke.
It is not the trains that are the problem, it is the raise of low cost airplane carriers.
Carriers like ryanair and others are cheap(did Frankfort to Rome for a total round trip cost of around US$85 and from my arriving at the airport to being at my hotel in Rome took just under 3 hours) a similar train trip would take around 15 hours and cost over US$150.
Europe trains are great for small trips(6 hr or less) or to remote areas but beyond that planes are usally cheaper; and even there for between busy locations planes still beat them out.
Who cares about that??
My only concern is as a tourist and having to deal will all the different currencies.
A single Europian currency is far better.:)
