@El:

GI, did you catch my translation of your name(figured it wasn’t the real thing) on another thread here?

Yes, I did. :) I should really stop making stuff up in other languages when I’m still struggling with English. :lol:

5. Always keep the BB and TRN inside of the Mediterranean.

6. Land all ftrs in W. Europe at the end of T1

Well, first, it’s the Pentagon’s deck, not the White House’s.
There was the 55 Most Wanted Deck(maybe not the official name.) Then came the original Deck of Weasels(liberals who disagreed[politicians, diplomats, actors, etc.) by Newsmax. The last big item deck out there was the Deck of Hillary(also by Newsmax.)

This deck of Weasels is an attempt to profit by piggybacking on a better known item’s name. I was not impressed by the artists work. I’ve seen better pictures of the GWB Administration on the editorial pages

got it - thanks DM

I’m finally getting some time off!!!
I’ll be gone for the next 8 days - driving and hiking about Calgary, Banff, and Waterton Lakes (nature enthusiasts MUST check this place out - http://www.watertoninfo.ab.ca/).
See you in a bit.
And don’t get too crazy while i’m gone.
That means you Yanny :wink:

@Deviant:Scripter:

I’ve heard Bush (or some other senior leader perhaps) make the connection between Iraq and Al-Qaeda, but I’m not sure that I remember a relationship being drawn between Iraq and 9/11 specifically.

fair enough.

maybe not the most reliable source, but it provides an interesting take.

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2002/09/04/september11/main520830.shtml - shows Rumsfeld’s lack of discernment between the 2.

basically this provides emphasis on the need to go to war - you can yell 9/11 loud enough and justify anything.

at the same time, there is some controversial evidence that Iraq has been working with Al Queda as well - at least the secret service - which contradicts what i’ve read about SH and OBL’s hatred of each other:

I would like to visit both of those areas, I don’t know when though.

you can say whatever you want ctm, just like everyone else can on this forum (or should be able to at least <cough>yanny <cough><cough>) but when what you say pisses me off, im gonna let you know</cough></cough></cough>

then ALL citizens whose paperwork is in order get the valve (correct me on this last one, those of you who live the US).

The insurance company also has to cover that particular procedure. :(

I saw it first on the daily show about a year ago :)

Submariner’s never get dogtags. They’re not implosion proof like us…

I fail to see how anti-Muslim sentiment is racist. There is no Muslim race. Muslims are Arabs, Persians, Turks, Africans, Afro-Caucasians, etc. Some are even Caucasians. It may be a prejudiced sentiment, but it’s not racism. The Palestinians and Jews are both Semites, for goodness sake. Race and religion often have nothing to do with one another. This is one of those cases.

Why choose NYC as a site for an Al-Qaeda attack when there as many Muslims in NYC as there are in the largest cities of some other countries? Because NYC is mostly white people instead of brown? Because there’s alarge Jewish population, too? Because it’s easily noticed and is centrla to the Western way of life? Because the building hit were the tallest in the world, and in the opionion of the attackers showed a Babel-style pride?

Please don’t tell me that anyone seriously believes it’s because NYC is a haven for white people, if there actually are still more white than nonwhite people in NYC. It’s not racism. It’s religion. It’s politics. It’s economics. It’s a lot of things. It’s not racism.

Ok, I admit, your right on the arrogant superiority complex.

I enjoyed the simplicity of the photographs juxtaposed with the complexity of the thought processes the statements arouse :P !

However, the pages jumped to the next one about 2 seconds after download. I ain’t no speedreader!

@yourbuttocks:

@cystic:

i do have a problem with them setting themselves on fire and walking into a public place, and i think that ought to be banned . . . .

What, are you going to fine them?

well, i was going to add a “:D” afterwards, and then i realized that it’s kind of a tragic event, especially given that a friend recently died in a house fire, so i don’t know what to do with that comment i made now. Originally it was just a tongue-in-cheek response to a suicide post earlier.
I guess fining their families might work. This would go along with my potential philosophy of executing the families of terrorists . . . (mostly joking . . . mostly)

LOL, ya

but I dont want to change my name

Arwen was just a footnote in the series. But, to get more female interesting in the movie, they added her in.

I don’t see how their worse than radio’s blasting and holding a coke…

Playing against the AI in Iron Blitz using Axis:

G1 Standard builing of a Transport and Infantry works. The AI usually boats its Russian Transport to join the UK Transport off Canada, leave them alone. Hit the UK SZ with 4 Fighters and the Baltic Fleet. Send a Fighter against the Sub. And your Bomber & Sub against the Battleship. Take West Africa with the Algerian, Blitz out and back with the Lybian Tank, land a Fighter in Lybia, the rest and the Bomber in WE (The AI never builds enough in Kar to ever worry about him hitting EE). Move 2 dudes from Sth E to Lybia. Move everything to EE. Build 4 Inf in SE, the rest in Ger. Collect 34IPC.

J1 Build 3 Transports, save 1IPC. If he built the India IC, ignore it for now, he never uses it right. Hit China with everything, leaving 1 Inf in Man & Burma. Hit Hawaii with Bomper, 1 BB, Sub, 2 Fighter (have to have kamaze attacks on to be allowed to use the 2nd fighter). Bring the Jap Trans to the Solomon Is with 1 Inf from Wake. The Phil Trans with 1 Inf from Phil & 1 Inf from Caroline to Sol Is, Carrier and BB to Sol Is, land Fighers on Carrier, land Bomber in Sol. Land mainland fighters in Burma.

G2 Lots on Inf. Often UK Blitzes over to Algeria, Hit the tank with 2Inf & Figher, Hit Egypt with Tank 2 Inf. Bomp US SZ, usually US only has 2 Trans there, so you usually win without loss, Fighters against any ships in range (often 1 Trans in UK and 1 Trans in Baltic, so 2 Ftr each). Boat 4 Inf from SE to Lybia, move rest to EE, and 2 more into WE. Build 4 in SE and rest in Ger.

J2 Build Inf, save atleast 3IPC. Take Arg with the Pacific fleet from the bottom SZ (where you threaten both Bra & SA from). Boat 2Inf to Burma and 1 Inf + Tank to Man. Depending on losses in China, leave one Inf there and move the others to Burma.

Things to look for from now on:
Ger is looking to boat another 4 dudes into Persia each turn from now on (The AI always leave your fleet alone, but make sure you still keep them together). Other than that, just lose your Air Force taking out what Transports you can and always build all Inf each turn. Jap will win the game alone if Ger holds up the way the AI plays.
Jap will be able to take Bra, US never defend in well enough, and the build a Complex there the build 3 Subs the following turn. Jap will also be able to get the Indian IC the following turn and Soviet Far east safely as well. Sit your fleet in the US SZ, the US sends all his planes to Europe, you he cant very well clear you away. And the following turn hit the UK seazone with the Fleet and the 3 new subs, after this he cant build anymore transports ever. Make mabey 1 or 2 more subs each turn as needed, but start putting money back into the Indian IC with 3 Tanks and Jap Inf + Trans to get them to the main land ready for the win.
