Katrina's final death toll, except for…

@General:

And another side note civilians lose wars not the American military.

Agreed, terrible policy has been the bane of the US fighting man for over half a century. (or longer even)

We give the people all the battle wins, and spineless leadership and ineptitude takes those victories and squanders them.

From one trooper to another “Brave Rifles!” and thank you for your service!

Yes Tall Paul; I agree. Except when that Yankee Brad Putt blows it up!
I will be sad.

Evening Herr KaLeun. I too have always been surprised that this charge was the last large scale one, but it is how I remember it.
Just to be sure, I did google last  British cavalry charge and found and read of the one you mention about an hour ago!

I accept your peace frenchman, and your humble surrender.

:P

We are brothers after-all! :D

The correct term for moi is ‘culturalist’.

I must confess I cried myself to sleep many a night when he was too busy with work to grace us with his presence. May it never happen again!

All the other animals died in hours breathing that air. It caused the lungs to liquefy. Humans lived in homes that had poor insulation and they had to cover up with wet towels and many died. Thats black cloud moved at 60 MPH and just made the day into night. The jackrabbits were able to survive on very dry conditions, while all the natural predators died off, creating a huge population rise. Entire counties were covered in jackrabbits running around. Its on the History Channel and its a must see. I could not believe how bad it was back then.

The locusts arrived because all the animals that ate them also died ( birds etc…) SO it was the same for other bugs like Centipedes and spiders… just showed up 10 fold and stung children and old people to death.

They said it covered the eastern half of USA is 1/4 inch dust, plus the Atlantic on the worst day called “black Sunday”

With my regular driving, I could ALMOST get away with an all electric, so long as Angel had a car with gasoline that we could travel in.  A Plug-in Hybrid would take the “almost” out of that statement.

I would run on pure stored household current 99% of the time, and the engine would kick in only on longer trips, etc.  My BIGGEST problem with be gasoline going “stale” and the need to add fuel stabilizer to each tank of gasoline (so my per-tank costs would rise).  But if you only buy 1-2 tanks per year…  I’d end up with mileage somewhere above 400 mpg, unless the plug-in hybrid is designed to run the engine from time to time just to prevent that stale fuel issue…

To me it is a no-brainer to create plug-in hybrids AND to have more than just the damn Prius to choose from.  Jen mentioned her Caliber… good looking car, and if it was available as a plug-in hybrid I would probably own one, even if the mileage was “only” in the 90mpg range because of the higher power demand for the larger vehicle.

I find it funny how you understood and quoted the sentence.
Let me requote my interpretation which is differing by 100% from your view.

The Arab world has seethed whenever the United States used its U.N. veto – as it has done with frequency – to quash efforts to send international observers into the Palestinian territories or halt the construction of Israeli settlements.

I really wonder from where you took the Chuzpe to skip some important parts of the sentence.
