           \_ Seems like a waste.  You really only need one good reticle,
              and once you learn to use it well it'll be more than
              sufficient.  For those who have the time/interest, there's
              a book by Maj. John Plaster called, "The Ultimate Sniper,"
              that has a chapter on choosing and using various reticles.

8/5     Regarding NKorea relesing the journalists, here's what I think the

        - Both agree that Kim needs to save, or gain, face to pave the way for
          his son's succession and for NK's stability.
        - Both agree that Obama doesn't like losing face by publicly

Posted by Shermy On 04/14/2004 3:59:56 PM PDT Al Jazeera April 15, 2004 A deal between Iraqs rebellious Shia cleric Moqtada al-Sadr and the US-led occupation authorities is said to be imminent. Abd al-karim al-Anzi, an envoy appointed by Sadr to lead negotiations aimed at averting bloodshed in the holy city of Najaf, said on Wednesday that a deal could be struck in the next 24 hours. I met US officials today and the talks were extremely positive, Anzi said. There was no immediate comment from the occupation authorities, who have threatened to either kill or capture Sadr.

Despite his spectacular victories in North Africa, Sicily, and Europe, he left a depressing paper trail of grotesqueries about blacks, Jews, Asians, Mexicans, womenand almost anyone outside his WASPish class.

The Palestinians object to a provision in the plan, which would allow Israel to retain control of six blocs of Jewish settlements in the West Bank. Following is a transcript of statements by Bush and Sharon after their meeting. BUSH: Im pleased to welcome Prime Minister Sharon back to the White House. For more than 50 years, Israel has been a vital ally and a true friend of America.

The sanctions include Chinese companies that manufacture chemical and biological systems critical for the development of weapons of mass destruction. The newly sanctioned companies include several Chinese Army owned firms, as well as companies in Russia, Belarus, the United Arab Emirates, North Korea and Taiwan. A determination has been made that thirteen entities have engaged in activities that require the imposition of measures pursuant to Section 3 of the Iran Nonproliferation Act of 2000, states the sanctions announcement published Wednesday in the Federal Register.
